GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  • Article follows MOS for layout and referencing.
  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
  • Lead is an excellent summary.
  • Reference 1 - the archived link goes to a French version.
  • Early depictions is well referenced;
  • Tidal locking has a good summary of well-known SF on the (supposed) permanent Dayside and Nightside of Mercury
  • Modern Depictions seems a bit thin.
  • I am not sure of the relevance of section on Vulcan.
  1. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  • NPOV is preserved in this article.
  1. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  • Page created on 14 December 2005
  • Page has 324 edits by 188 editors
  • majority of annual edits occurred in 2021
  • page has 34 watchers
  • 90 day page views = 3,689 with a daily average of 41 views
  • examination of page history shows steady improvements
  • page is stable, free from edit-warring and vandalism
  1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  • File:Orbital resonance of Mercury horizontal.gif = Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
  1. Overall:
  • This article appears to restrict both its scope and sources to several Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction and one other source on science fiction writers.
  • My sense is that the scope of this article is not as wide as it could be, considering Mercury appears in film, book, comics and games be they board games or video games.
  • A rethink about the scope of this article is necessary. It is somewhat restricted.
