This is a 2006 Featured article, whose nominator has not edited Misplaced Pages for almost a decade. For Misplaced Pages:Unreviewed featured articles/2020, we are evaluating which older FAs need to be submitted to Featured article review, and finding many that can be salvaged with a little bit of TLC. There is some uncited text that may be easy to cite. @Wehwalt and Balon Greyjoy: would either of you be able to advise if you are able to patch up the uncited pieces here, and opine whether the article is good enough to be marked Satisfactory at WP:URFA/2020? We aren't looking for FAC-level perfection; just an assurance that we wouldn't embarrass ourselves if this ran on the main page and an indication of whether a FAR is needed. If you are able to patch it up, you could indicate Satisfactory at URFA/2020. Thanks for any help you can provide! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:01, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm the nominator and I'm still just about around. I will see about cleaning up the citations in the next few days; it shouldn't be a problem. MLilburne (talk) 07:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
To reflect current FA standards, the article could use some expansion and less reliance on Lunney sources, more reliance on other sources now. Also, the lead will need expansion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:21, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
Death
TJRC I am not convinced that Space Center is not just passing on rumor, since there is nothing to their info. I’d be more convinced about THEIR post if a) anyone else had it officially, and b) they provided some detail like location and cause of death. I think getting death information right is more important than getting it first. All they have to say is, “Apollo-era flight director Glynn Lunney passed away on March 19”, which is bare of detail and no more than the internet rumors. What is the harm in waiting for better information? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:12, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
MLilburne glad you are back on this! It looks to me like our 1999 (above) is likely correct, while NASA may be using the date the companies merged, but this need to be sorted ... you probably have sources to deal with that. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:19, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
I was pointing out that the NASA press release seemed to have it wrong ... “ Lunney worked on the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Space Shuttle programs. He retired from NASA in 1985 as manager of the Space Shuttle Program, but continued to lead human spaceflight activities in private industry with Rockwell International and, later, United Space Alliance until his retirement in 1995.” . He retired overall in 1999, right ? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:24, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
