International Space Station


I've listed this article for peer review because the last time ISS received a thorough review was over ten years ago. Once upon a time, I did a fair amount of copy-edit work with another major contributor to the article and eventually, it made it to FA. Since then, it has fallen from FA, and is rated as B and sometimes even C class in various projects. I would love to see it achieve GA status or even regain FA status once again, but I thought a good look-over might prove beneficial first.

 * Hello, I'm CactiStaccingCrane (talk), and I gonna review the article right now! 08:19, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Comments from CactiStaccingCrane

 * The article need some touch-up on accessibility, paticularly on the Pirs airlock & Russian docking port at the structure. There are a lot of pictures in the article, consider put them in galleries.
 * The components, modules and elements sub-section maybe unnecessary, since each of them have its own article.
 * There's a ton of copyright violation in the article. In fact, it might be enough to bomb most of the content in some sections. I think you should paraphrase them. []
 * Would you be able to point out the "ton of copyright violations?" I ran it through the copyvio tool, and comparing the article to other sites, there is very little, if any, actual copyright violation. - Pax  Verbum  06:26, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that the issues have been fixed. Well done! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:34, 4 October 2021 (UTC)


 * There are a lot of tags.
 * Using the revision available when you posted this review, I see only two CN tags. Can you show me where there are more? I might be missing something. - Pax  Verbum  06:26, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is any tag anymore, but there are some sections which don't have enough sources, such as the Pressurised modules section. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:34, 4 October 2021 (UTC)


 * There is still a cleanup tag on a section.
 * Yes, it does need to be addressed. Thank you. - Pax  Verbum  06:26, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Basically, there is a lot that the article need to be fixed. However, these issues are solvable, and when all these glaring problems are fixed, I will review the article more throughly. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 08:33, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Use less quotes from the articles. Gut the contents out and fix it.
 * Sorry for me coming across a bit combative with your peer review. Don't feel discouraged, I would still help you! It's just that I was having a bad day then. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Z1720
After taking a quick skim of the article, here are some comments for improvement before a GAN:


 * There should be a citation at the end of every paragraph that verifies the preceeding information.
 * "Pressurised modules" section has a clean-up banner message. This needs to be resolved.
 * Lots of sections, like the lede, scientific research, and assembly, are quite long. Either remove unnecessary information or create level 3 sections
 * On the other side of the equation, there are lots of sections that are one paragraph long, like in "Pressurised modules". Consider merging these sections, per WP:OVERSECTION

Once the above are addressed, please ping me and I will give more comments. Z1720 (talk) 19:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
