Scope of this article compared to Spacecraft thermal control

Firstly sorry if I should not have closed the above discussion as an involved editor.

As the 2 articles now overlap I propose moving this article’s Space sunshade#Spacecraft sunshades section into Spacecraft thermal control#Sun shield as that article already covers the subject Chidgk1 (talk) 07:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Let's also remove the overlap with space mirror (climate engineering). If they are such "different things" then there shouldn't be so much overlap with respect to solar radiation modification. Firstly, it would help a lot if this article had better main level headings and a better structure. How about a main level heading of "purposes"? This would also help clarify which is a parent article of what. Is this the parent article for space mirror (climate engineering) or vice versa? I can't get my head around it. Sorry if it's a dumb question. I am really just trying to help our readers to figure things out. EMsmile (talk) 11:07, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The big issue is that the article is rather low quality.

Space Mirror reflects, Sunshade absorbs.

Substantially more detail is needed on the spacecraft part of this article Redacted II (talk) 20:53, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The “see also” here links to James Webb Space Telescope sunshield which has a lot of good spacecraft detail Chidgk1 (talk) 08:34, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are right the article is poor quality Chidgk1 (talk) 09:04, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help with improving it, Redacted II? That would be great. But I think it's important not to double up and overlap with other articles (such as Spacecraft thermal control and James Webb Space Telescope sunshield, right?). EMsmile (talk) 23:27, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to be quite busy over the next few weeks (IFT-7 fallout + College), but I can try Redacted II (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No rush - it will be quite a while before there is a prototype in space Chidgk1 (talk) 08:25, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it Chidgk1 (talk) 08:30, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
