How about we changed the name "Moon Landing" to "Lunar Exploration"?

Or something like --Craigboy (talk) 23:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See Exploration of the Moon. Gwen Gale (talk) 08:16, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both articles are in bad shape and should be merged.--Craigboy (talk) 01:44, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neither article is in "bad shape" and they cover different material, I don't see any reason to merge. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 13:20, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Citation race and metrication of sections "Scientific background" and "Ranger Missions"

As specified by the MOS:NUM, editors should "Put the units first that are in the most widespread use in the world.", unless the sources use other units. This article, and especially these sections, do not have inline citations. Hence, it is difficult to check whether the sources specify miles per hour and pounds or km/h and kg. The inline citation race should now be started in order to determine which reference correspond to which section. In addition, contributors are encouraged to check the units used in the references and correct which units to be place first in the article. I will start this process and would be thrilled if more could join my effort. Xionbox (talk) 14:34, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the metrification tag that you added, it doesn't seem to be relevent since those sections do mostly use metric units. I agree that some sections need cleanup as far as being more consistent with what units we're using, but particularly the Scientific Background section is largely uncited, if you're looking for a project you should find sources for the numbers used in this section. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 15:17, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added the tag because of the presence of multiple occurrence of non-SI units without their conversion and did not have time right then to convert these occurrence. However, I will look into verifying these numbers. Xionbox (talk) 16:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected all (or at least most) references linked to the Ranger Program. The rest of the article must still be referenced and/or corrected. Xionbox (talk) 20:30, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Apollo 11 launch incorrect.

"Apollo 11 Saturn V Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin A. "Buzz" Aldrin Launched: 20 July 1969 Lunar landing Success - First manned landing, exploration on foot."

Apollo 11 was acutally launched July 16 1969 as per Apollo 11's wikipage Devunow (talk) 23:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that—fixed! Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 23:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
