Images of full crater
editThe great resolution full crater topology image here [1] by Tim Goudge gives clearer context to File:260184-JezeroCrater-Delta-Full.jpg, if it can be uploaded to Wikipedia. Tom Ruen (talk) 09:21, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Done - @Tomruen: - added the suggested image (File:NASA-Mars-JezeroCrater-20181116.jpg) and related caption[1][2] - to the main article - seems ok at the moment - please comment if otherwise of course - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 15:01, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- This article also has some nice images in sequence of scale. Assessing the mineralogy of the watershed and fan deposits of the Jezero crater paleolake system, Mars[3] Tom Ruen (talk) 15:14, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Pronunciation
editA few days ago Eric Kvaalen added "(pronounced YEZero)" to the intro. I have upgraded this to Wikpedia's standards of IPA and respelling by replacing it with "(/'jɛzəroʊ/ YEH-zə-roh)", but I am not convinced this is in fact the established pronunciation. The Wiktionary entry for the source word jezero has /jêzero/ which would be naturally approximated in English as /'jɛzəroʊ/, and this is how I would be inclined to pronounce it, but a NASA video has /'dʒɛzəroʊ/ and a French scientist involved in ExoMars site selection uses an initial /ʒ/. My money is on most of the Mars 2020 team, who will make this crater famous, pronouncing it /'dʒɛzəroʊ/ based on the spelling. The situation should be kept under review as the mission progresses and this name gains further exposure, which will likely result in a standard being established amongst English speakers.

- OK, I have gone ahead and put in /dʒ-/ as an option. The issue is addressed here and is as I expected: "It is correctly pronounced something like “YEH-zuh-doh,” though mission team members typically pronounce it “DZEH-zuh-row.”" Looking past the botched respellings it is clear the Serbo-Croation pronunciation is being referred to as the 'correct' one, and there is a link to a sound recording someone with the relevant language competence made, and /dʒɛzəroʊ/ is being referred to as the one used by the mission team, which backs up the NASA video linked above.

It's not pronounced [ˈjɛzəɹoʊ] and certainly not ['dʒɛzəɹoʊ]. Pronounciation is ['je.ze.ro]. I'm a Croat, same word "jezero" is used in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina, I can verify this 100 %. Just because someone pronounced it incorrectly at NASA doesn't make their pronounciation good or something to be perpetuated by Wikipedia. Don't let such errors multiply by giving them credit on a site like this, please. This toponym is barely known outside the Balkans, but it will become famous. Do try to avoid spoiling it beforehand.

So why the revert? Are you just going to ignore language facts? That's not how Wikipedia works. You can't just cite a source and claim it's true just because it's a source. Lajoswinkler (talk) 14:29, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
Using Template:Clear to fix images breaking map
editPlease note I made this edit to fix the interactive map breakage caused by too many images being added to the preceding section in the last few hours. -84user (talk) 10:35, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Jezero crater diameter
editHello. It seems in the lead, the diameter of the crater is incorrect. According to NASA it is 28 miles (45 kilometers) [2] and not 49.0 kilometers (30.4 miles). It seems the two references surrounding this text don't have anything on the diameter of this crater. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 19:49, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Also, I think the abbreviations km (for kilometers) and mi (for miles) in the lead should be spelled out for the benefit of the reader. I think this is according to WP:MOS recommendations. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 20:04, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
So in 2026, when we plan to visit there; what will be our itinerary?
editI would love to know what to pack? 2605:8D80:326:E40F:E862:EEFC:806A:B9C5 (talk) 07:19, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
