A partial self-nomination, as I've contributed to the article for some time. This treats a fairly controversial subject (as to history, not astronomy!) and has settled down for some time and been through Wikipedia:Peer review. Dandrake 20:39, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)

Support, very thorough! --Alxt 06:22, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Provisionally support. It's an interesting article and I learnt some things from it. However, see my question in this article's talk page; I think it's something that should ideally be addressed. Zashaw 22:51, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Object - Needs a ==References== section. See Wikipedia:Cite your sources. The article also seems to be way on the short side for featured. -- mav 03:33, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Object. Though it contains quite a bit of information - it is far too short to convey everything. The history of the idea could be more substantial, the effect it had on religion, culture and individuals when it began to be support. More on the scientific aspects. Finally, more diagrams - I am sure there are some beautiful NASA PD shots to complete it. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 10:37, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Object. This is a little short. Specifically, I'd like to see a description of the basic assumptions assumptions about the universe about which geocentrism and heliocentrism agreed (a small spherical universe with concentric spheres about which heavenly bodies move, etc). Also, it should probably be mentioned how planets were distinguished from other stars in the first place. anthony (see warning) 15:09, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Object. too short. Needs more info and a better pic (Copernicus' draws arent they public domain?). Plz note that heliocentrism considers the sun has the "centre of the universe", do not confuse with "centre of the solar system". Cheers. -Pedro 01:55, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
