Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Solar System

This page serves as a project discussion for the Good topic, {{{title}}}.

Appropriate discussion on this page includes:

Working definition of the topic.
Vital improvements to articles necessary to maintain status for the topic.
Potential improvements to the topic's member articles.
Possible additions to the scope of the topic.

General questions about maintaining good and featured topics can also be referred to Wikipedia talk:Good topics and Wikipedia talk:Featured topics.

Working definition

The working definition appears to be, "the Sun's Solar System and its planets, dwarf planets and 'belts' of small bodies". The Moon, the only natural satellite included, is something of an outlier, and is justified presumably by its importance to humans.

Vital improvements

This topic does not meet current Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria, and will be eligible for removal after 1 January 2008 if this situation is not rectified. In particular, Uranus must be brought to at least GA status. It may also be desirable that Kuiper belt attain such status, but this is not strictly necessary since it is already ranked "A", which is considered equivalent under the guidelines.--Pharos 02:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvements

Of course it is desirable that more GAs be promoted to FAs, but see above for the priority work to be done.--Pharos 02:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions

It would probably be desirable to extend this to "classes of solar system bodies" as well (asteroid, comet, etc.).--Pharos 02:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
