 * All sorts of date formats in the infobox.
 * Consistent now  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * The picture in the infobox is an example of a Zond program satellite, or is only for Zond 5?
 * Program; changed caption  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * The lead is missing what the Soviets gained from the results of the satellite.
 * Added all the results I have right now  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "a version of the Soyuz 7K-L1 crewed lunar-flyby spacecraft" Is a lot more important to mention in the first paragraph.
 * Done  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "Out of four circumlunar launches, the Soviets had one partial success (Zond 4) and three failures." The parentheses could be replaced with commas.
 * Same could be done for the next sentence.
 * Done for both  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * Link vivarium and Russian Academy of Sciences.
 * Done  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "The spacecraft also had the ability to image the Earth. Kazan Optical and Mechanical Plant (KOMZ) developed the AFA-BA/40 imager, which was installed on the spacecraft." Did the imager take pictures of the Earth?
 * I assume so, but I never found a source that said that directly, which is why I avoided saying it in the article.  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "launch pad 81" You mean "Site 81"?
 * Or in the infobox, "81/23"?
 * That was a great catch; thanks. I checked both my sources on the launch and neither list the pad so removing that from the infobox.  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "Offgas" Outgassing?
 * Done  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "Zond 5 became the first spacecraft to circle the Moon and return to land on Earth. On September 18, the spacecraft flew around the Moon, although it did not orbit the Moon." Merge/reword these sentences. Mention the date first at least.
 * I moved it to the reentry section  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * Mention and cite splashdown coordinates.
 * Done  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * Maybe link the Space Race?
 * Done  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "The British Interplanetary Society believed that TASS would be able to send cosmonauts around the Moon in a matter of months." What TASS?
 * If it's this one, how could a news agency send cosmonauts into space?
 * Woops. Fixed.  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "Another analysis showed the flying tortoises had elevated iron and glycogen levels in their livers. The flight also affected the shape of their spleen." Merge sentences.
 * Done  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * Anything happened with the rest of the biological payload?
 * I don't think I have access to any of the sources that explain the results, like the Drosophila results. I did plan to seek them out and include them at a later date for a FAC run.  Kees08  (Talk)  
 * "RKK Energiya museum, in Russia." Which city?
 * Near Moscow, done  Kees08  (Talk)  

Just a few things. Nova Crystallis  (Talk)  04:48, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

I am done for tonight if you want to rerun your date script, I accidentally reverted a couple of them.  Kees08  (Talk)   05:57, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
