message: The first paragraph of the composition section is copied word-for-word from the source.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 13:47, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As noted below, I have removed the text because it is, as you say, copied straight from the NASA source. I think such violations, which are as blatant as this one, should always be removed as soon as they are spotted as they damage the standing of Wikipedia.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:01, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies, I have since discovered that this material is public domain because all NASA material is released as such. I have reinstated the material. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 13:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: On the 15th of January a how template was added behind a statement in the lead section that the atmosphere "requires constant replenishment".  One finds the information in the body of the text in the next section labeled ==Sources==.  So the how template is not needed and should be removed.  - Fartherred (talk) 22:55, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The removal of the unneeded template has been accomplished by User:Amaurea on the 16th of February.  - Fartherred (talk) 17:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Template not needed

message: I question the verifiability of the following statement: "The solar wind and outgassing are not primary sources of the Earth's atmosphere, or of any stable atmosphere."  This statement was added at 11:33 on the 6th of September 2013 with the edit summary being: "reorganized".  It could be just the supposition of an editor.  If someone can verify the statement, please do.  - Fartherred (talk) 01:38, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
