Transit of Venus

Notified: Anthony, WP Solar System, WP Astronomy, talk page notice 2021-02-05

Review section

This 2004 Featured article has not been maintained to current standards, and there has been no input since the notice in February 2021. In addition to issues noticed on 2021-02-05, there is considerably poor layout with MOS:SANDWICHing, large amounts of uncited text, and a prose tuneup is needed. There are no currently active editors in the article page stats; like most of the astronomy suite of FAs, this one appears to be untended. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:22, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move to FARC – refs are seriously lacking across large swaths of text; image placement needs work; prose needs to be reworked in places. There haven't been any substantive edits in months, which suggests that there's no one willing to fix these considerable issues. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:38, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to FARC - In addition, will also suggest that the section for the 1761 and 1769 transits may need attention from a weighting perspective, as even what appear to be more minor observation groups are described in detail there, with much less detail going to other transits. Also, significant image work is needed - there's an image of an ancient clay tablet that isn't mentioned in the article at all. Hog Farm _Talk 05:09, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
