GA nomination COROT-1

Hello. You have done great job expanding that article, but I'm afraid it is only a first step towards GA. Please consult other good articles, or better featured articles, to see what should be done; for example Solar System. In particular, the content of COROT-1 should be greatly expanded and supported by peer-reviewed references (e.g., articles in scientific journals or books); news and web site reports should be used only as a last resort. I will be glad to help with more specific questions, but for now I will fail this nomination. In the future, when you nominate GA, please consult the instructions at WP:GAN.

I do understand some articles like COROT-1 are hard to expand, but please try if you can (a relevant example in terms of content could be PSR B1620-26 b). I was a bit too harsh in criticizing it, but if you are aiming at GA, I would advise to have more reliable references (preferably peer-reviewed journals and books rather than web sites). Thanks for pointing me to other short astronomy GAs, I shall look at them and discuss them with other editors. Best wishes. Materialscientist (talk) 07:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
