Revision as of 00:02, 4 February 2017

The contents of the List of proposed missions to the Moon page were merged into List of missions to the Moon on 04 February 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Spelling

To clarify, I placed the {{Use British English}}, {{Use DMY dates}} and {{British English}} tags on this article and its talk page respectively, to reflect a matter of fact - that the page was started in, and has evolved in, British English with DMY dates - since an inexperienced editor had started using other spellings. Since the article doesn't cover any specific country there are no national ties to justify changing, so WP:ENGVAR and MOS:TIES state that this should not be changed. True, the United States has conducted missions to the Moon, but they do not have a monopoly on the subject. In any case undiscussed changes of dialect are considered disruptive editing. --W. D. Graham 00:45, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Seems like you started the article. Alright then, keep it in BrE per WP:ENGVAR. - M0rphzone (talk) 07:28, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Destination is different to study objective

The list in the Moon exploration article tries to include all missions that were conceived to perform scientific studies either of the Moon itself or physical and/or biological impact of the satellite environment; it excludes missions such as ISEE-3 that approached the Moon due to orbital dynamics requirements to fulfil its mission that are present in the List of missions to the Moon article. So I think these lists should not be merged as they have different goals. Tom Paine (talk) 02:20, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I removed the merger proposal from 2013 (hatnote). I assume that the above post is a reply to said proposal. Unfortunately, there seems to be no proper post that explains why the list in Exploration_of_the_Moon § Timeline of Moon exploration should have been merged into article List of missions to the Moon in the first place. For the future, I strongly recommend to removed carelessly added hatnotes (i.e. merger-proposals without link to a post on a talkpage) within weeks, not years.

missing item

I do not seem to see apollo 9 in this list. 100.12.245.137 (talk) 00:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC) oh nevermind, delete this if you must. It seems that apollo 9 may have been orbital in destination and not technically 'to the moon'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.12.245.137 (talk) 00:41, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge. MartinZ02 (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

I propose that List of proposed missions to the Moon be merged into this article. Because both articles are about missions to the Moon its better to have their content in the same article. MartinZ02 (talk) 12:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of sourced information

173.3.234.203 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) has removed relevant sourced information three times now without explanation. Please restore it or explain your actions here, otherwise (I am sure) others will revert you (discussion courtesy of WP:3RR) – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:51, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Merge with List of lunar probes

Most of the information about lunar exploration programs is duplicated between those two lists. The main differences are:

1. formatting of the table and choice of columns
2. presence of manned missions

For #1, I have no strong preference, we should pick a style as is or maybe start with one of the lists and incorporate extra information from the other. I'm just opening the discussion. For #2, I don't see the need for a separate list of robotic probes: on the contrary, lunar probes during the Space Race were precursors to manned missions or rehearsals thereof, so grouping them in the same article is more historically relevant. Comments welcome. — JFG 14:00, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

• Support, if done well. I really like the Zond 5 mission, which orbited and returned the first Earth life forms to reach and orbit the moon. Randy Kryn 22:52, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Info about which Missions were Manned needed

The Missions table should include which were manned and which were unmanned. Help doing that would be appreciated! Fresheneesz (talk) 00:02, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
