I marked the word acceretion in the section on formation theories, as this is a wild guess on the meaning of the word acreción.
There are several wode in the remaining paragraphs that I don't understand, and which aren't defined in the spanish Wiki.
Resources: http://www.wordreference.com/ Spanish dictionary
Here is a translation (and slight cleanup) from the lead of the Spanish-language article. Feel free to use it as you will, and to delete it from here when you are done. Right now, the Spanish text is in one massive (commented-out) section, much too large for me to edit on my home computer. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:14, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I've translated the following text:
Does anyone know what "manto oscuro" is? Tito xd( ?!?) 23:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
"manto oscuro" directly translates as "dark mantle". M@$+@ Ju 15:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm translating the diagram at es:Imagen:Impactcraterformation_lmb.png but as I'm nowhere near fluent in Spanish there are a couple of words I'm unsure of:
Can anybody help me out? -- David Wahler (talk) 15:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks -- I've uploaded the diagram. If anybody has any suggestions for improvement, please let me know. -- David Wahler (talk) 16:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I've finished doing the main translation of the article, and all that's left now is translating the images and doing general copyediting. Thanks to all of those who helped. Tito xd( ?!?) 22:15, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
Sorry I’m always late. Here you have some of the geological terms related to the lunar geology. There are many others, so if there are other terms to be translated don’t hesitate to ask me:
Diagrams and images: I will replace the existing diagrams by better drawings and will license all images properly later this week. For the time being I can say that all NASA images I used there are PD. I’ve got to rush now…. Regards, Luis María Benítez 11:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
"The complex morphology of the lunar surface has been formed by a combination of processes, chief among which are impact cratering, volcanism, and tectonics."
Whoa! There was "tectonics" on the Moon? I seriously doubt there ever was. I'm going to remove that part until someone comes up with a citation or something. The QBasicJedi 20:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
"The amount of wear experienced by a crater was another clue to its age, as also is its diameter." [Emphasis added] Could someone explain how the size of a crater aids in its age determination? Dan Watts 13:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I believe this statement is now only partially correct. James Williams [1] of JPL was able to demonstrate that the Moon likely has a small molten liquid core. [2] [3] — RJH ( talk) 18:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
FYI, I've added a [ color image] to the article. Please let me know what you think.

I have searched for some info on the grain sizes in the lunar regolith, without finding anything. I know lunar landing hoaxists claim that it is not possible to get footprints like this http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel/5/51/515/515095/GPNX2001X000014X1X_1192451203_1192451218.jpg in dry sand, but i suppose that is possible because the regolith is actually much finer than sand. I think the article should say somehting about that. Gwissi —Preceding comment was added at 16:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Lunar surface into Geology of the Moon#Lunar landscape. Everything that would be within the scope of the aforementioned article would fall into the latter section of this article. The Lunar surface article, in addition, has minimal info and no sources. I suggest a mere redirect, as there's really nothing to merge. Tyrol5 [Talk] 01:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Anyone able to create/update a section on Lunar Volcanism based on the discovery of 'dark side' silicic volcanoes [4]
Or is there an article already covering that ? EdwardLane ( talk) 09:39, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I would like to see more about the "geographic" features of the far side of the moon. Oddly, there is darn little on the Wikipedia about this. The discussion of the South Pole–Aitken basin seems to be just about it. Paul, in Saudi ( talk) 04:01, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( non-admin closure) TonyBallioni ( talk) 18:21, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Geology of the Moon → Selenology – the term gets nearly 30,000 Google hits, and it is not a misnomer. "Geology of the moon" is a misnomer because "geo" means of the Earth. Calling it the geology of the moon is an analogy to calling a woman who gives birth to triplets a woman who gives birth to 3 twins. Georgia guy ( talk) 17:34, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
