  • Oppose - Is it a march fool? Are you only joking, so? MOJSKA 666 (msg) 14:04, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
No joke, but sort of a test. As far as I can tell, the article meets all of the Good Article criteria. Note that the GAC say nothing about the length or depth of the article; the closest it gets is broadness, which I believe this article meets. Mike Peel (talk) 18:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hard X-ray detector energy range

I have changed the HX high energy t0 30 keV in the text, which agrees with the table. The NSSDC intrument ref [1] shows it as 30 keV also. Wwheaton (talk) 18:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA on hold

I have reviewed the article, and have found some issues which you must rectify in seven days.

  • I understand there is very little on this subject, but I still think it needs some expansion. Try here
  • The article should be written in a way that readers unfamiliar to the subject will be able to understand. The big issue here is KeV - a wikilink helps, but it would be good to explain what the term means too.
  • Include somewhere in the article what scientific discoveries were made from ANS.
  • An image can be found here
  • Good job on the citations!

Good luck! Shrewpelt (talk) 20:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments! Your links drew to my attention the alternative name of the satellite, and hence the other language wikipedia articles about it. It'll take me a little while to incorporate the information into the article, so I'll withdraw this GA request for now, and will resubmit it once the article's been improved. Thanks again!
