Göktürk-2
[edit]- ... that Israel expressed objections to the newly launched Turkish reconnaissance satellite Göktürk-2, fearing that high resolution imagery of Israel would eventually fall into the wrong hands?

All the key criteria checks out - new, long enough, hook. A few issues to still be addressed (and may want to get someone with more technical expertise than I to review as well):
- Some of the language is not exactly neutral and may qualify as puffery: "Equipped with state of the art advanced technology developed by Turkey"
- In the references given, not finding verification for this information: "it is placed at 16:26 UTC into a low Earth orbit of 686 km (426 mi). The first signal from Göktürk-2 was received at 17:39 UTC in the space center in Tromsø, northern Norway" Plot Spoiler (talk) 05:07, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- "it is placed at 16:26 UTC into a low Earth orbit of 686 km (426 mi)." is a translation of "Uydu, 686 kilometre yükseklikteki yörüngesine ulaştı."[reference: "Göktürk-2 uzaya fırlatıldı". Habertürk (in Turkish). 2012-12-18. Retrieved 2012-12-18.]. "Low earth orbit" is mentioned in "The Chang Zheng-2D launch vehicle is a two-stage rocket developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. With storable propellants is mainly used to launch a variety of low earth orbit satellites."[refernece: Barbosa, Rui C. (2012-12-18). "China end 2012 with Long March 2D launch of Göktürk-2". NASASpaceflight.com. Retrieved 2012-12-18.] I added a reference ["Göktürk 2, yörüngeye ulaştı". Radikal (in Turkish). 2012-12-18. Retrieved 2012-12-24.] for the time of orbit arrival. For reason on the difference of two hours between 18:26 local time in the source and 16:26 UTC, please check out next paragraph.
- "The first signal from Göktürk-2 was received at 17:39 UTC in the space center in Tromsø, northern Norway" is a translation from Turkish "TÜBİTAK Uzay Teknolojileri Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdür Vekili Tamer Beşer, uzaya gönderilen Türkiye'nin yüksek çözünürlüklü ilk gözlem uydusu Göktürk-2'den ilk sinyalin saat 19.39 da Norveç Trömsodan alındığını açıkladı.",[reference: "Göktürk-2 uzaya fırlatıldı". Habertürk (in Turkish). 2012-12-18. Retrieved 2012-12-18.] where 19:39 local time is converted to 17:39 UTC due to two hours time difference between local time and UTC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CeeGee (talk • contribs) 07:31, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry for forgetting to sign in hurry. CeeGee 11:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
- Requested references for "Equipped with state of the art advanced technology developed by Turkey" are added. Check pls. CeeGee 08:59, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Re-review needed. Checks should include whether added citations are sufficient, and whether neutral language has been achieved throughout. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
I've made a few copyedits to address grammar. AGF on the Turkish-language sources. I think the additional citations are sufficient and it certainly looks neutral to me. However, there are a few formatting issues with the citations - numbers 9, 10 and 12 are bare URLs. Could the nominator please turn these into proper citations with source, date etc?

Done Thanks a lot. CeeGee 12:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
