 * Symbol voting keep.svg Interesting, solid GA on excellent sources, Russian sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook but am not sure about the capital Earthlings. July date fine by me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see an inline cite for the hook fact. Yoninah (talk) 20:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The hook should read like so to avoid the mistaken intepretation that there may have been early missions that accomplished something similar to this mission.
 * ALT 1: ...that two Russian tortoises were among the Earthlings on Zond 5 that became the first to fly around the Moon and returned safely to Earth?
 * I have copied the source over to provide an inline citation. --- Coffee  and crumbs  21:01, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * this is the sentence with the hook fact that needs a cite: Zond 5 carried the first terrestrial organisms to return safely to Earth after flying around the Moon.
 * ALT1 is a bit convoluted. How about piping the link?
 * ALT2: ... that two Russian tortoises were aboard the first spacecraft to fly around the Moon and return safely to Earth? Yoninah (talk) 21:10, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that works. --- Coffee  and crumbs  21:22, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * thanks. And the cite? Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅. --- Coffee  and crumbs  21:33, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Restoring tick per Gerda Arendt's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:45, 14 July 2019 (UTC) |}}
