- Nominate and support. Comprehensive, referenced; I think it is up to FL standards. Rmhermen 17:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ugh... the title seems misleading since I expected to see the whole list of every person on every Apollo mission. You know, Apollo 1: john doe, peter simson, jack black, Apollo 2: ... It now seems this list is more like List of people who came close to the moon. Renata 01:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- It does list every person who was on every Apollo mission and what mission (or mission) they were on already. Rmhermen 15:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed - this is a good list, but it would be nice to add a section with all of the astronauts ordered by mission. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I see that there are good lists of the astronauts in Project Apollo already - perhaps some of that information should be moved across? That article also explains that there was no Apollo 2 or 3, and 4 to 6 were unmanned. Perhaps this could be added too. -- ALoan (Talk) 16:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think we need to mention those because this is a list of astronauts, not of missions. Do we really think that having everyone listed four times would be an improvement (alphabetical, chronological, by astronaut selection group, by accomplishment)? Tianxiaozhang asked on my talk page whether backup astronauts and the the Apollo-Soyuz Program astronauts should be added. I would say that the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz flights were not part of Project Apollo although they used leftover equipment. I did find three backup crew who didn't fly on an Apollo flight and have added them. Rmhermen 16:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- A few lists introduce the content in a couple different ways (the most recent example I can think of is List of European Union member states by political system). Personally I think the listing by mission is the most intuitive way to go, with the other method you already used being a nice complement. Also, if you're not including Apollo-Soyuz astronauts you should give an explanation of why somewhere in the article. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- Comment. There's no single mention of "Appolo" in the lead. For the readers who don't know what Appolo Project is, the lead does not establish the context and defines the title. Could you reword it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cedar-Guardian (talk • contribs) .
- But the lead already says "who traveled to the Moon as part of NASA's Apollo program" ... -- ALoan (Talk) 15:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ups! Sorry I didn't notice it. CG 17:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
