Section-by-section review

Lead

  • Take out "Browbowski 94" in parenthetical cite here. Change it to a ref with the <ref></ref> tags.
  • Change "The Stingray" to "The nebula"
  • Make " and it is located 18k light years away" into a separate sentence.
  • You make reference to "Bowbowski, et al." Say who the "et al. is". For example: "Browbowski and other researchers at the University of X ..."
  • Wikilink "magnitude" as it has a certain meaning in in Astronomy contexts
  • Make the "--" dash into an —

History

  • Explain what an 'emission line star' is.
  • Put the full name of the acronym organization
  • Remove the parenthetical cite. The ref link to the source is fine.
  • Move the cite from "Browbowski" to the end of "observed it"
  • Explain why it is called the Stingray Nebula and put a cite for him/her using the Hubble to find it. It may be the same source saying he/she found it.
  • Confused here. It says it was observed as a PPNe - how does it make Bobrowski the 'finder'?

PNN

  • Need a cite for the first sentence's claim
  • Same for the second sentence.
  • Again, using the ref tags are fine instead of the parenthetical usage here.
  • Put info on what a PNN is.
  • Put info on why it is significant, as this was seemingly mentioned in the lead.

Notes

  • Fix the notes so that the 'a' subpoint is the sole thing in the 'notes' section while the other cites can go under a "References" heading.

Concluding Thoughts

  • This article is very short and thus may not meet the GA mandate that an article be broad it its scope of the topic. I suggest putting more information in to expand the article.
  • This will be placed "on hold", allowing a week's time to fix the article before I make an assessment for GA. If you have any questions, feel free to post it on my talk page. Best regards, Lord Roem (talk) 22:35, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other misc. issues

  • Lead doesn't need cite
  • Lead should be a summary of the information. Some of the content is not referenced in the lead and visa versa.
