message: Hello Fellow Wikipedians,
Posting these updates as proposals and ask that someone review and actually make the edits, as I wish to avoid updating the ESA page myself. 
References 4, 14, and 34 under External Links should be updated to point to either: 
1. The pocket edition publication:
https://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESA_Publications/ESA_Publications_Monographs/ESA_Convention_booklet 
or
2. About the Convention itself as a legal document:

Cheers!

message: In two different parts of the article, reflist|group=note|refs= is in the body rather than in the references section. I hadn't seen that before. If that type of setup is okay, then I'll leave that alone. It seems to work for this article. GBFEE (talk) 18:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: European Space Agency →  – From a comparison at Google Trends linked here, there is a significant higher search of "ESA" compared with "European Space Agency". Thus, I find this move reasonable. Any objections to this move? Thanks, Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 14:32, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
