    : I'll try to address the points you criticised later today. I must ask however: which graph do you mean in your last point ("graph about Apollo asteroids")? Perhaps the pie chart in the infobox? Rontombontom (talk) 15:52, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

    : OK I'm done now. In the intro, I shortened paragraphs 4-6 (even merging 4 and 5), but I don't see how to shorten paragraph 3. In the infobox, I removed the rotating Eros one and moved the Itokawa photo from the "Exploratory missions" section in its place. I reduced the width of the entire infobox; the pie chart is now the smallest possible without a line wrap in the legend below it. In addition, in the "Projects to minimize the threat" section, I noticed that the details on the early history of the Spaceguard survey have been imprecise, so I re-worded and expanded it a bit, adding two new sources.

    : Does this address all your concerns? Rontombontom (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

    ::Yes Sir. Very good work. And You did it in less than 24 hours. Congratulations! Mdob (talk) 20:16, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

    :::Thanks! I made a DYK nomination, it was my first, I hope I did it right... Rontombontom (talk) 22:36, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
