 * References are fairly bare (should have publisher information and writing dates, at the very least). "The facility takes extensive measures to prevent contamination of the lunar samples." is unreferenced. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:14, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review. I think I've addressed your comments.  Can you confirm? --JohnPomeranz (talk) 18:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Hook: Interesting, cited, short enough.
 * Article: New enough, long enough. Referencing is good. Paraphrasing checked against this looks fine. I've added convert templates and categories.
 * Summary:Symbol confirmed.svg Looks good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg How about add8ing a picture of the Genesis rock to the hook? Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:56, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure. That's a good idea. --JohnPomeranz (talk) 00:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg A lot of material here appears to be copied directly from various NASA sites. I think NASA allows that type of use, but even if so, you should follow the procedures for such copying outlined here. You might also tweak the NYT-cited material, as it might be a bit close (and that source is decidedly not PD). Nikkimaria (talk) 02:51, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the constructive criticism. In assembling this quickly I see that I did include too many directly copied excerpts from the cited sources.  I've added a template to acknowledge the public domain NASA material and edited portions of the article to reduce my reliance on these materials (and the twice-cited and copyrighted NY Times piece).  In the process, I've also made a couple of substantive changes that I think improve the article.  Please confirm that I have addressed your concerns. JohnPomeranz (talk) 18:46, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Much better, thank you. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
