Around September of last year I started the article on Wikipedia on the atmosphere of Venus and got it featured on the front for about 12 hours or so in the "did you know..." section. That section is for well-written new articles, not perfect, but fairly well referenced and generally worth reading. I'd like to see it become a featured article though (on the front page for a full day and right in the centre) and another Wikipedia user has shown an interest as well, so I thought I'd see what people on the board here think of the article. Here it is:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus<br /><br />Basically, I'd like to know:<br />-Anything really interesting that the article has neglected?<br />-Anything inaccurate?<br />-Are there other references that could be used? The more references a Wikipedia article has the easier it is to pass the featured article review.<br /><br />If there are some good ideas here on how to improve the article then I'll link to the thread from the Wikipedia talk page so that other people can reference it too. If anyone feels like creating new diagrams or giving permission to use pertinent images that would be great too. I think the article's at about the halfway mark right now, not quite good enough to pass the nomination but getting there.<br /><br />(PS I know I started a thread requesting references for the colonization of Venus article before, but that's such an iffy concept at present that it's really hard to find good references to back anything up. Atmosphere of Venus is much easier to source.) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>----- </p><p>http://mithridates.blogspot.com</p> </div>
