Final Parsec Problem

Its not actually clear what is being stated in this section. There is no mention of what the "final parsec problem" even is let alone a good explanation of it. After not explaining the problem it then tries to provide a possible solution to the problem with which the reader doesn't know what the question is that prompts the need for a solution. Someone please fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.10.247 (talk) 11:52, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is interesting to note a sudden surge of interest in this article from 15 September 2015, after the LIGO detection. see http://stats.grok.se/en/201509/binary%20black%20hole. There was a peak of 479 views on the 17th. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:03, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

‘Ringing’

Article uses the word “ringing”. twice, with neither link nor definition. A layman (e.g., me) can guess what sort of thing this might be, by analogy, but that analogical guess might be completely wrong. Please could “ringing” be defined? JDAWiseman (talk) 16:29, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, much of the modelling section is not sufficiently clear. JDAWiseman (talk) 16:55, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would really welcome more on ringdown. In particular, is ringdown hairy? JDAWiseman (talk) 11:26, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Binary black hole

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Binary black hole's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Nature_11Feb16":

From Gravitational wave observation: Castelvecchi, Davide; Witze, Alexandra (11 February 2016). "Einstein's gravitational waves found at last". Nature News. doi:10.1038/nature.2016.19361. Retrieved 11 February 2016.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:19, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
