The reference to Peter Smith links to a disambiguation page. It is not immediately clear which Peter Smith is meant. - Ahruman 13:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC) This was already fixed, to refer to Peter H.

Hi Wikipedians,
The history section and Mars society's mission, objectives, goals are mixed and merged into one single section; making a rather incoherent transition. For better presentation and from reader's point of view, I think we need to separate them into separate sections.
I will only separate them as two sections without altering any of the original content. Please let me know if anyone has a better opinion or suggestion. Thanks

Hello everyone! I am a student, and my assignment is to pick a Wikipedia article that I could make a significant contribution to. I look forward to improving this article with you! I will mainly be expanding on the information for each chapter around the world.

I’ve removed some chapters that don’t seem to be in any way notable or in some cases even have many members. There was no information of any value to readers other than the bald fact of the chapters’ existence (and not even that, in one case), which can be gleaned from the website. Andyjsmith ( talk) 07:35, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
I think Mars Society Australia should be merged to here, as it is not a very notable chapter of Mars Society with poor sourcing. CactiStaccingCrane ( talk) 08:29, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

I read the article, and it reads quite well and can easily be understood. There are a couple of things that'd need to be fixed before I can approve for 1a) and 1b):
Since its founding, the Mars Society has been active with a series of events and research activities.It might be better to replace
withby something like
by organizingto make it clear that Mars Society is coordinating those events.
The society's aims are garnering public support for human Mars missions, lobbying government and space agencies, and researching the effects on Martian crews via Mars analog habitats.Redundant sentence, mostly all of what is said here was already mentioned in the lead. I leave it up to you if you want to rephrase it, move it or delete it.
He also noted that the popularity of Mars One had dwarfed the one of Mars Society and that the perceived absurdness of former's plan by the public was potentially detrimental to the later's reputation.Did you mean
of the former's?
With a duration of four days, the conference was attended by 750 persons and can be seen as a spiritual successor to the prior Case for Mars conferences.Here, you need to mention by whom it was regarded as such, otherwise this violates NPOV.
Some of the invited were from the Mars Underground and those who had written to Zubrin about The Case For Mars.Unreferenced, maybe citation 8 or 16 should be moved here?
The society also formulated plans to launch space-based experiments, which were never materialised though.Language is too familiar here, consider changing
thoughwith a more formal expression.
Unfortunately, during transport from the United Kingdom to Krafla, Iceland, where it was to be deployed, the Euro-MARS sustained damage.Consider removing
unlikelyto meet the NPOV requirement.
The Mars Society is also planning to build another Mars analog station in Arkaroola, Australia, as of October 2022.A little too outdated.
Once funding have been established, the Institute will then build its own campus.Also needs to be updated and rephrased.
I have approved for criteria 1a and 1b. Thanks for the excellently formatted list of citations, no issues detected by reFill. I have not found any original research, all statements are related to a source, thanks for that.
No issues detected by IABot or Copyvio detector
I have conducted random spot-checks throughout the article, and have not found any issues related to verifiability.
Article addresses main aspects of the topic and makes good use of summary style.
Checking the article's talk page and history tabs, there isn't any edit war going on, validating the stability criteria.
Article is written from a neutral point of view, validating that criteria too.
Appropriate media is used throughout the article, all of them appropriately tagged with relevant copyright tags.
This concludes my review!

CactiStaccingCrane: Newness passes as a recent GA. QPQ not needed. The source is cited but I'm just wondering if this really is the only interesting fact that can be gleaned from this article. Would be interested in potentially seeing some ALTs. The picture isn't the greatest but technically meets requirements. A different picture that might pair with an ALT might be interesting here as well. GA eligibility confirmed. Preference for Alt 1 and Alt 2, no pic to be used.
