Hello star editors! I’m reviewing this article against the FA criteria as part of an effort to check all old featured articles ( Wikipedia:URFA/2020). The core of the article is quite neat, but upon further inspection there are quite a few statements that need to be assessed using more recent sources, and there are too many examples of sentences or even paragraphs that are uncited.
If these issues cannot be addressed via the talk page, the article can be taken to the WP: featured article review process to find more editors to help. If the problems cannot be solved at FAR either, the article will probably be delisted. Time and help is always granted to editors who wish to improve the article. Femke Nijsse ( talk) 21:51, 2 February 2021 (UTC) (updated 08:30, 3 February 2021 (UTC))
#14 Update further reading? Newest book is from 2001. Femke Nijsse ( talk) 15:12, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
#15 I've added citation needed tags in the article. If that's done, I'll mark this article as satisfactory :). Thanks again for all your work. FemkeMilene ( talk) 18:59, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
Unwatching, please ping me when ready for me to take another look with an eye towards marking Satisfactory at WP:URFA/2020. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:05, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
If someone could do a review here for uncited text, that would advance towards a “Satisfactory” mark at WP:URFA/2020. Some of the text now missing citation may be cited in preceding sources, and I didn’t want to mar the article with tags. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 00:59, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
At the risk of muddling the ongoing work to confirm FA status, there is something that has been niggling at me about this article for a while. The lead is rather long, perhaps appropriate for a lengthy article, but the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs say essentially the same thing. Certainly they cover the same ground. I can see merging them to say what they need to just once, perhaps still as two paragraphs. The slightly tacked-on bit about binaries might also be merged, possibly with a mention of multiple systems going earlier in the lead and a piece about the influence on evolution (mass transfer, mergers, supernovae, etc.) going with the description of the life of stars. Lithopsian ( talk) 16:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Most stars do not shine, they consist of non-luminous gas, rocks and minerals. In fact, old stars are planets. All stars lose their mass at different rates as they evolve. This has been known by thousands of scientists and researchers for about a decade now. https://vixra.org/pdf/1711.0206v5.pdf and here https://vixra.org/abs/1303.0157 Airpeka ( talk) 14:14, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

There is a typo in the "Nuclear fusion reaction pathways" section, the word "because" in "but becuase enormous numbers" is misspelled. DustyDonkey ( talk) 18:27, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
