[edit]Delta Muscae stuff
[edit]Hey, Skarm.
I'm not actually reviewing the article, but I took a look at it and made a few grammatical corrections. I honestly think a Nomenclature section can be added to the article; you could talk about all the different designations Delta Muscae has, and the Bayer designation itself. I managed to scrounge one up on one of the star articles I've been working on.
You created this article from stratch and now it's a good article nominee; I really do respect that. I bid you good luck with the review. --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 05:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hah, no problem. With a few last tweaks, Del Mus is probably going to pass GA. There aren't really any good star articles one can use as efficient templates (Sirius is outrageously well-observed and thus has a bit too much info for these purposes, and Barnard's Star is just plain "special"), and the passage of this article might also inspire others to improve star articles (which is really good news). --Starstriker7(Dime algoor see my works) 22:13, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
- If it is of any help, I just thought I'd mention that we have a few other star articles at FA: Cygnus X-1, IK Pegasi and Tau Ceti. Good luck with your work.—RJH (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Solar System
[edit]Thank you for your intention to work on Solar System related articles. Well, you do not actually need my permission because I do not owe these articles. This a basic principle of Wikipedia that the articles can be edited by anybody. However I would appreciate your help in copy-editing Moons of Uranus article. I have expanded it and added references, but it needs a pair of fresh eyes. If you do not understand something, please, ask me. I am also going to start work on Oberon article soon, and I would appreciate your help with it too. Ruslik (talk) 09:22, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Galaxy in star infobox
[edit]Hiya,
I found your discussion with another user on the Sirius talk page relating to which galaxy stars are located in. I agree with you this would be entirely redundant, perhaps we could update the infobox to have a spot for which arm the star is in. These could just link to the Milky Way page thus eliminating any confusion. Is this plausible and better than writing in who knows how many star articles (and thousands more to come) that they're in Milky Way? Heck, in addition we could update the galaxy infobox template to include supercluster. Perhaps this would give astronomical objects more of a felt "location" rather than just listing the coordinates, which would be hard for the average reader to understand. Let me know what you think!

- That's not a bad idea, assuming you can actually find a suitable reference that will provide the information. Thanks.—RJH (talk) 15:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I nominated this list to WP:FLC. Ruslik (talk) 18:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Epsilon Aurigae
[edit]Hah, thanks.
This is a really interesting variable star system. I think it could use a few images, so I'll find the time to hunt around for them. I'll be pretty loaded up with work in the near future, but I'll try to fulfill your cross-check. --Starstriker7(Talk) 23:54, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hey man, sorry to bother you. If you have the time, can we wrap up this review? --Starstriker7(Talk) 16:12, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Delta Muscae
[edit]The article Delta Muscae you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. It hasn't failed because it's basically a good article, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Delta Muscae for things needed to be addressed. Wronkiew (talk) 18:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey, any plans to finish up this review? Looks like the nominator fixed your concerns a while back. Wizardman 16:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Flag icon usage
[edit]Hi SkarmCA, I noticed you have been going through shuttle and expedition articles, adding flag icons to members from other countries. I thought you may wish to know that this has been discussed previously with regards to the manual of style for mission articles, and per the Manual of Style, ("Flags are visually striking, and placing a national flag next to something can make its nationality or location seem to be of greater significance than other things.") the general decision a few years ago was that for ESA astronauts, the country should be given after the agency (i.e. Léopold Eyharts (2) Flight Engineer 2 - ESA (France)), but that flag icons are visually distracting, and place undue weight on nationality, because an astronaut's nationality does not affect his duties during the mission, or the mission itself, which is why there were no flags in the articles. Flag icons are mostly used in tables, especially for sporting events, where nationality is of high importance to the reader's understanding of the article/table. Cheers, Ariel♥Gold 15:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- There were a number of discussions on a whole bunch of different article and project pages, but if I recall correctly, I think the consensus was that since Expedition/Soyuz crews were often a mix of agencies/nationalities, the flags would be used once on the first mention, along with agency name, and for any subsequent mention, only agency would be used. (For example, when it lists the same person twice, for the multi-part expeditions, only one flag would be used on first mention.) For the shuttle missions, the flag use was just so visually distracting, and since all NASA astronauts are American, and JAXA astronauts are Japanese, etc., it was decided not to use the distraction of the flags. Also, those articles are longer, more prose, and the icons are generally reserved for tables, so they were unnecessary in the shuttle articles. Cheers :) Ariel♥Gold 16:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome, thanks! And hey, I just peeked at Moons of Uranus, great job on that FA! Ariel♥Gold 16:33, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Royal Stars
[edit]Hi, Any update on the Royal Stars and them being noted so far back as 3000BC? You mentioned you were doing some research about Regulus and were going to "try and scrounge up" additional info... Thanks in advance, CielProfond (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The article Henry Alexius Abbott has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
NN merchant, fails the GNG and WP:NOTINHERITED. Could find no substantive coverage in reliable sources (the one reference listed, in fact, turning up a cropper). That he had children who might meet the GNG is neither here nor there. Notability tagged for over a decade.
