[edit] Neptune (planet)
With Venus as a featured article, I figured I would try to help out the articles on the other important bodies in the solar system, and then I ran across this article. So far it's actually the only article on a planet in the solar system with plentiful inline citations and references. I found it to be quite an enjoyable read, more so even than the featured article Io (moon). Toothpaste 08:19, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
- Object head section too short. Headbox needs conversion to be same format (at least) as Venus (planet). Preferably convert all other tables into {{prettytable}} or something alike. Circeus 22:26, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
- I converted the headbox into the same format as the one found in the Venus article. However, I am not sure about the other tables, given that the tables in both article are similar. Pentawing 19:54, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, I've converted the other tables using {{prettytable}}. Pentawing 23:04, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

- Support-This looks like an excellent article with a lot of information. The tables really do not bother me, and the headbox looks perfectly acceptable as well (although I think it is the edited version). --Gpyoung talk 03:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment-I expanded the lead to three paragraphs. Does this take care of your objection, Circeus? Toothpaste 10:09, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Object - A bit of explanation of retrogradation is necessary for the Visibility from Earth section (not much; it just didn't make sense to me how a planet can go from direct to retrograde in three months). Is there anything else that could get added to that section? A little description of the "Appearance" section would be nice, so that I (a non astronomer) know what I'm looking at. And could a listing of space missions to the planet be added? I'd also like {{prettytable}} in the table in Rings of Neptune. That's it for now; I'll let you know if I see anything else. --Spangineer (háblame) 19:23, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
