Overall: I like the picture! Earwig's picks up the incorporate public domain text, as expected. No quality issues, as expected from a GA. My only quarrel is with the hook: Does it need the comma? I have occasionally seen it used like this before, but it looked weird to me as a non-native, and I couldn't find any reference to this usage in Comma#Uses in English. Should it not simply be dropped @Evrik? –LordPickleII (talk) 18:46, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
I have no objection to dropping the comma. It is a parenthetical comma, something you could replace with parentheses. If the comma is omitted, we have a false title phrase. Meh. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:56, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Hawkeye7: Interesting, thanks! I missed that. In this case I have no objection to keeping it, either; may the promoter decide. –LordPickleII (talk) 09:28, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Hawkeye7: I'm a little concerned that the hook will direct most readers to click on Earthrise, rather than William Anders. Would you be okay with removing Earthrise's link in the hook? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 08:41, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
