Unclear text
What is meant by "This photo also shows the undisturbed patch of ground before he placed his boot there"? It clearly shows a disturbed patch of ground post-boot-placing.

I was just about to ask that as well, perhaps there's something we aren't seeing?

Something makes me think there was a pair of photos and the caption text was inadvertantly copied between them. I'm going to delete the questionable text pending explanation.

Er, no I won't, not while it's protected as a featured image.

It means that the photo shows Aldrin's bootprint and it also shows the how the ground looked like naturally (I.E. the area where Aldrin didn't step on) —Preceding

From my perspective it is a little bit confusing, why link to commons at all? Commons is as far as i can see (which may not be all that far) simply a media repository, which is not why we have wikilinks, wikilinks should be for linking encyclopaedic information, IMHO.

What you were seeing was the Commons description page, not the en-WP one. howcheng {

Why has this picture been converted to greyscale?
AFAIK the photographs taken on the Moon were full-colour photographs. Even if there was not much colour visible on the Moon, I think the colour-information (in this case the colour of the Moon-surface) should be preserved.
