  • Um, that's just cutesy way of saying it was a supernova. Abductive (reasoning) 06:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

A couple of issues here. For one, what is "Source:" at the bottom? For another, the lede is far too long compared to the article's body. Generally, the lede should summarize the text in the article below, but in this case, it is the majority of the article. That does not seem difficult to fix, simply splitting it up. Perhaps the statement "and so provides astronomers..." could be sectionized out, leaving the lede as a summary. And while I'm here:

ALT1: ... that G299.2-2.9 (pictured) is one of the oldest known supernova remnants found in the Milky Way?

(Thanks for the above, Maury, just jumping in here, to get things moving). I have split the article's leader, and moved part of it into the article body, as requested above. I have also moved the source link from below the images, and attached it to the image captions. I approve ALT1, and have struck ALT0. The article is new enough, long enough and neutral. The image is free and clear, and no QPQ is needed. That's the positive bit. On the negative side, Earwig finds enough plagiarised phrases to force a need to rephrase them. @MemeGod27: Please look at the Earwig link I have given you, and rephrase the words that are highlighted. We also need citations at the end of two of the article's paragraphs. When the copyvio and the citation issues are resolved, this should be good to go. Storye book (talk) 10:20, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
  • That actually went quicker than expected. Everything should be good now, although some of the phrases cannot be reworded. I changed as much as I can, however. Thanks @Storye book:! :P MemeGod ._. (talk) 15:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Okay, got it. Sorry, it's taken me so long to respond, I guess I forgot about this. I should be able to get everything done in 1-2 hours, and I'll get back then. Thanks! :D MemeGod ._. (talk) 15:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
