- Please use language template for author field. Or may be we have template for NASA as source? Please also make better edit summaries. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- The first two can be done. About the third I don't know how to add summary option to pywikibot uploader, If you have any idea I can adjust that in the code.

- The images are obviously in scope, but I'm personally not sure if we need to large scale mirror images that will be continuous available at the current source and can be uploaded when needed.
- Technically I don't see any reason to not approve this request, though, and would like to approve it if no further objections arise. --Krd 17:46, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- FWIW, NASA has repeatedly, in the past, changed where they store their images... they are not as stable as you would think, and there are multiple partial archives. Revent (talk) 17:51, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- to agree with I had another code for the same website 2 years ago, They redesigned the website, so the code was obsolete (Searching in the website is now much harder).--Pouyana (talk) 08:49, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Approved per above. --Krd 06:48, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
