For the second time, the article was changed to reflect Kelly's children as a son and daughter vs. two daughters. ( BLP violation removed) @ TheADagone: I have not seen any sources to support this, and request the reference you are using to make sure this article is accurate.

It's going to stay as "two children" until someone explains here why not. MPS1992 ( talk) 21:16, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

@ Neopeius: Just a head's up, I'm currently on a work trip. I will make every effort to make the edits to get this article to GA status, but it may take me a little longer than the recommended 7 days from when the review is put on hold until I can get it all wrapped up. Balon Greyjoy ( talk) 07:12, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
I'll pick this up early next week, and I thank you for your patience I think this exercise demonstrates we need more spaceflight editors! :) --- Neopeius ( talk) 16:07, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
My apologies for the delay.
I have read through the prose (much of which may not be yours!) and it's got some issues. In general, it's not a straightforward narrative, some things are overly dwelt upon while others are glossed over. Please read the following notes, which should not be considered exhaustive, and assume that the person reading this article has little knowledge of any of the programs involved.
Also, again, anything in the header should be in the body of the article as well. If you want to keep citations, I won't argue personal preference, but someone should be able to skip the header and still get all the information.
@ Neopeius: Any word on when further review will occur? I'm about to take a weeklong vacation and won't be available to edit Wikipedia during that time. Balon Greyjoy ( talk) 00:37, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
((ping|Balon Greyloy)) Looks like we crossed in the night, and I was foolish and posted to the Talk page directly instead of here properly. But you found it, and that's what matters. :) And now I know how to ping! -- Neopeius ( talk) 03:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Back on the case. I'm making minor revisions live rather than suggesting them, in the interest of efficiency. If you find any of them egregious, let me know. :)
Firstly, much improved. An excellent article very close to being read. I have reviewed the citations and prose (the hardest part!) and here are the issues still outstanding:
"After attaining the rank of captain in the U.S. Navy, Kelly retired from active duty on June 1, 2012 after 25 years of naval service. He flew over 8,000 hours in more than 40 aircraft and accomplished over 250 carrier landings throughout his career."
Since he is in the middle of his astronaut career when that happens, can we get some insight as to why he retired? And if there be none (though I'd be surprised if that be the case), can we at least add between "2012" and "after" something like ", during his astronaut career (see below)"?

@ Balon Greyjoy: Looks like this accidentally dropped a section down, pinging so you know it is here. Kees08 (Talk) 01:49, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
@ Neopeius: In the future, make sure that all of you comments fall under the review header. My recommendation is to edit the review page directly. This is important, as the review page will be archived, and you want to have all of the review information available on one page should someone choose to look at it later. Balon Greyjoy ( talk) 05:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
@ Balon Greyjoy: Second round moved to the proper place. While I still have some minor quibbles on phrasing, the article is in fine shape for G.A. I'm passing it. Good job, and thanks for letting me in on the process. -- Neopeius ( talk) 11:17, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
