Overall: @Dumelow: Good article. Though I will say that the beginning sentence of "The Lunar Hilton is a hotel on the Moon proposed by the Hilton Hotels company" makes it sound as if the hotel actually exists on the moon before correcting itself. Though that doesn't really prevent me from approving I'd still prefer a reword. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Onegreatjoke. Good point on the lead sentence, I've changed it to: "The Lunar Hilton is a proposed hotel on the Moon, that would be operated by the Hilton Hotels company." - Dumelow (talk) 07:28, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
