It has hatnotes listed at the top of the page. If it uses unreliable sources, then it does not meet the Good Article criteria. PhotographyEdits (talk) 11:42, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

- Comment This has been unnecessarily tag bombed. I am unsure about Encyclopedia Astronautica. It is used on thousands of articles here, but is clearly self published. I would be surprised if there were not better sources as they seem to essentially do what we do and collect other sourced information. As to the page numbers that does need to be addressed.

- Keep at current level since this cites some sources that are crowd sourced and the site sites other sources. Rather, those site should be replaced with the relevant refernces on them.
When was Mir launched?
editThe internet seems unclear on this:
- This page say the 19th
- NASA says the 19th, https://www.nasa.gov/history/35-years-ago-launch-of-mir-space-stations-first-module/
- ESA says the 20th, https://www.esa.int/About_Us/Corporate_news/Mir_FAQs_-_Facts_and_history
- EB says 20th, https://www.britannica.com/topic/Mir-Soviet-Russian-space-station
- NY Times said "today" on the 20th, https://www.nytimes.com/1986/02/20/us/russians-launch-a-space-station.html
- BBC says 20th, http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/20/newsid_4713000/4713752.stm
- Popular Mechanics says 20th, https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a19517/mir-space-station-30th-anniversary/
- This log of launches says specifically the 19th at 21:28 UTC (which would have been the 20th at the launch site in Kazakhstan), https://www.orbitalfocus.uk/Diaries/StationsMir/1986.php (but I have no idea how trustworthy this log is)
- Mir Core Module says 20th
It certainly seems like it should be the 20th if we're counting from where it was launched. Coderanger0 (talk) 06:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- 19 February 1986 at 21:28:23 UTC. See the second entry in the table at List of Proton launches (1980–1989)#1986. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 08:15, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Photo of final configuration
editThe infobox might be improved by using this photo of the final configuration of Mir. Any objections, or reasons to continue using the current image?
