• ... that near Sun periodic comet 323P/SOHO has a rotational period of just over half an hour, the shortest of any known comet?

Overall: @C messier: Good article. Though some issues

• "In 2006 was published that the comet was noticed as a barely visible object in SOHO images obtained in 12 December 1999.[7]" Looks to be a grammar though I also do question if the source mentions the comet considering the source doesn't look to state any of the two names the comet had.
• "that near Sun periodic comet 323P/SOHO has a rotational period of just over half an hour, the shortest of any known comet?" should the hook mention "in the solar system" or no?
• Hook alt1 doesn't seem to be in the main article.

If you can fix this then that would be great. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:26, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Forgot to mention but there looks to be some copyright issues. I'd like an explanation or fix for that. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:30, 27 March 2023 (UTC

@Onegreatjoke: If you see the source, it mentions Original content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. and as such it is attributed (reference 3). The first issue I think is fixed now (the relation of that object with this comet is given by IAUC 8982, that is cited in the next sentence; I added it in that one too. I added the smallest perihelion info and the orbital period in the main article. Concerning the "in the solar system", I left it out as we haven't measured the rotational period of an exocomet, yet.

Approve. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Should it really be "rotational" or rather "rotation"? Schwede66 03:34, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

@Schwede66: They are synonyms. C messier (talk) 09:38, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
