Comments

It's very welcome to see a scrappy and almost-uncited cruftlist turn into a compact, solidly-cited, informative, and readable article. I have very few comments to make.

• Spotchecks are fine.

• "throughout the 1800s" normally means "from 1800 to 1809" in many variants of English, so "throughout the 19th century" would be clearer.
  • Done. TompaDompa (talk) 00:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• "A commonality among early works about Uranus was the implicit—and incorrect—assumption" would be better (shorter, simpler) as "Many early works incorrectly assumed".
  • Reworded. TompaDompa (talk) 00:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• The last 2 sentences in "Moons" both begin "MOON was discovered in YEAR and appears in". Possibly reword a little. The second instance actually reads as a non sequitur as the date is 1787 and the associated game appeared in 2009, so perhaps this is the sentence to reword.
  • Reworded. TompaDompa (talk) 00:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
• The images are correctly licensed. The imagemap works well as a navigation device.

Non-GA matters

• I note the rather heavy sprinkling of redlinks. These are not forbidden but unless there is a plausible hope they will soon turn blue, it's not an ideal practice. For example, short stories written many years ago are a priori relatively minor subjects unlikely to receive editorial attention. If the set of redlinks exists for nom's personal use, the approved technique is a private list or template in user-space.

Summary

This is an excellent short article and I look forward to seeing it as a GA shortly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:08, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

• @Chiswick Chap: I have addressed the issues and responded above. TompaDompa (talk) 00:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Congratulations on another excellent GA. I hope you'll take the time to pick something from the ever-growing GAN pile to review! Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:10, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
