I recently added a 2010 photograph of Alan Bean presenting a moon rock to an exhibition in Germany to his page on the German Wikipedia ( Alan Bean on the German Wikipedia). Maybe this photograph is also of interest for the English-language edition.
Best regards

Granted, I'm new, but should it be added that one of the bubbles in the book "Artemis" is named after him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.186.251.96 ( talk) 16:28, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

The University of Texas at Austin did not exist under that name until 1967. Before that, its name was simply "The University of Texas". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.85.76 ( talk) 19:43, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Alan Bean (1932–2018) was an American naval officer, naval aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut. During the Apollo 12 mission, on 19–20 November 1969, he became the fourth person to walk on the Moon. This portrait photograph, taken by NASA two months before the mission, depicts Bean beside a mock-up of the Apollo Lunar Module, wearing his space suit without the helmet and gloves.

Picking this one up. Review will follow soon. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Article still needs a fair bit of work.
He was of Scottish descent. As a boy, he lived in Minden, the seat of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana, where his father worked for the U.S. Soil Conservation Service.This is not covered by fn 7. References required.
Fixed the Scottish descent and father employment references, moved the military career sentences, fixed birth-death dates, added UT NROTC scholarship, and updated hours of flying. Will update links and references later. QuicksmartTortoise513 — Preceding undated comment added 00:05, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
I will update the references at a later date. I have other work I currently need to work on. Sorry about any delays. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 07:03, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Currently working on fixing the oral history link. Fixing other references soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 16:32, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Which number is the reference to Spacefacts, and what are references 2 and 3 on your list? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
The Spacefacts link has been removed. Will work on adding Sue Ragsdale and fixing other references soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 22:40, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Starting on fixing references for both websites and books. Will start adding information of Sue Ragsdale soon. Thank you for your patience. User:QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 04:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
I believe the references have been fixed, with page numbers shown, but for some websites and articles, authors could not be found. This should mean that the final things to do are add mentions to Sue Ragsdale and add your listed references and sources. User:QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs 08:15, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Added reference for "Early life and education," I believe access-date is included for fn 1, added newspaper.com aggregation for fn 7, and renamed bibliography to "Further reading." — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 05:22, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Used better reference for fn 9. Replaced fn 9 with better links and reused other links. QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 06:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Added mention to Sue Ragsdale, with recommended sources and references placed. QuicksmartTortoise513 ( talk • contribs) 00:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
