 * Symbol possible vote.svg All the key criteria checks out - new, long enough, hook. A few issues to still be addressed (and may want to get someone with more technical expertise than I to review as well):
 * Some of the language is not exactly neutral and may qualify as puffery: "Equipped with state of the art advanced technology developed by Turkey"
 * In the references given, not finding verification for this information: "it is placed at 16:26 UTC into a low Earth orbit of 686 km (426 mi). The first signal from Göktürk-2 was received at 17:39 UTC in the space center in Tromsø, northern Norway" Plot Spoiler (talk) 05:07, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * "it is placed at 16:26 UTC into a low Earth orbit of 686 km (426 mi)." is a translation of "Uydu, 686 kilometre yükseklikteki yörüngesine ulaştı."[reference: ]. "Low earth orbit" is mentioned in "The Chang Zheng-2D launch vehicle is a two-stage rocket developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. With storable propellants is mainly used to launch a variety of low earth orbit satellites."[refernece: ] I added a reference [] for the time of orbit arrival. For reason on the difference of two hours between 18:26 local time in the source and 16:26 UTC, please check out next paragraph.


 * "The first signal from Göktürk-2 was received at 17:39 UTC in the space center in Tromsø, northern Norway" is a translation from Turkish "TÜBİTAK Uzay Teknolojileri Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdür Vekili Tamer Beşer, uzaya gönderilen Türkiye'nin yüksek çözünürlüklü ilk gözlem uydusu Göktürk-2'den ilk sinyalin saat 19.39 da Norveç Trömsodan alındığını açıkladı.",[reference: ] where 19:39 local time is converted to 17:39 UTC due to two hours time difference between local time and UTC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CeeGee (talk • contribs) 07:31, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry for forgetting to sign in hurry. CeeGee 11:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Requested references for "Equipped with state of the art advanced technology developed by Turkey" are added. Check pls. CeeGee 08:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote4.png Re-review needed. Checks should include whether added citations are sufficient, and whether neutral language has been achieved throughout. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg I've made a few copyedits to address grammar. AGF on the Turkish-language sources. I think the additional citations are sufficient and it certainly looks neutral to me. However, there are a few formatting issues with the citations - numbers 9, 10 and 12 are bare URLs. Could the nominator please turn these into proper citations with source, date etc?

 * ✅ Thanks a lot. CeeGee 12:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK, thanks for sorting that out. Continuing the review: the article's size and date are sufficient, the hook is sourced, and there are no copyright issues that I've found. I've tweaked the hook very slightly to correct its grammar. We're good to go now. Prioryman (talk) 12:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
