Request for clarification
Can you explain your edit to VX Sagittarii? I have no idea what it means, and it is likely that most other readers of the article would no more idea than I have. Anything the meaning of which is unclear should be explained, so that readers can understand it. JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:14, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Ways to improve W Aquilae
Hi, I'm Lithopsian. Space Infinite, thanks for creating W Aquilae!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The easiest way to create a star article is often just to copy an existing one. Then you get all the expected starboxes and tags.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Lithopsian (talk) 10:55, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Ways to improve BC Cygni
Hi, I'm Lithopsian. Space Infinite, thanks for creating BC Cygni!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Got to cite sources for these stars. The data is great and looks credible, but if it can't be verified then the article is liable to be deleted.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Lithopsian (talk) 20:04, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Stellar radii
Let me copy you on something I wrote to someone else recently, on making metric conversions for stellar radii:
If you really need to perform such conversions, a better way to do them is using the {{convert}} template. E.g.:
{{convert|1708|solar radius|km au |abbr=on|lk=on|}} produces 1,708 R☉ (1.188×109 km; 7.94 au)
{{convert|1708|solar radius|km au|lk=on|}} produces 1,708 solar radii (1.188×109 km; 7.94 au)
I would suggest that au is a better measure of stellar size than kilometers. Astronomical articles will generally use R☉ for most stars, and au for really large sizes. Regards, Tarl N. (talk) 22:37, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- I notice Lithopsian reverted a bunch of your recent changes, there is an ongoing discussion about radii vs radiuses at Template talk:Convert#Solar_radiuses.3F. Hang on, this will probably be resolved in a day or so. Tarl N. (talk) 02:28, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Ways to improve XX Persei
Hi, I'm Lithopsian. Space Infinite, thanks for creating XX Persei!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This is pretty pointless. It doesn't say anything useful, doesn't offer any reason why it is notable, and has no refs. A good hint that it didn't merit an article was that it wasn't in the Stars of Perseus template. It is very likely to be deleted.
