Largest?

Atacama Large Millimeter Array: " ... to build the largest astronomical project in existence".
LOFAR: "LOFAR will be the largest radio telescope ever built".

"Largest" in terms of what? Area? Number of telescopes? Money spent? Now, who's right? 145.53.180.22 (talk) 16:19, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ALMA Emblem - usage restrictions

In searching for any restrictions on the use of some of the many images available at the ALMA website, I came across this page, http://www.almaobservatory.org/en/visuals/usage-of-alma-visuals, which contains fairly clear guidance of the use of their "visuals".

While they encourage general use of most images, the fifth condition clearly states :

"- This general permission does not extend to use of the ALMA’s Emblem, which shall remain protected and may not be used or reproduced without prior and individual written consent of ALMA. Owners of external websites wishing to link to the ALMA web site may use ALMA’s Emblem for the link, provided they have obtained prior authorisation from the ALMA Public Relations Department and on the condition that such use is clearly identifiable as a web link;"

Looking at the Wikimedia Commons page for this image, I can find no reference to explicit permission being obtained. Perhaps this is because the image was downloaded from the ESO website and not from ALMA itself, but nonetheless I imagine that the same restrictions apply.

Should the emblem/logo be removed?

March 2013

It's says that the project was scheduled to be done by March 2013. That is now, at the time of writing, so the article should be updated by someone knowledgeable in the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.145.124.69 (talk) 13:12, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed some unnecessary information

Not sure why anyone would mention Kazakh word "alma" which means "apple" when this project has nothing to do with Kazakhstan. "Alma" also means "apple" in most other Turkic languages as well as Hungarian. In any case, I removed this bit of information from the main article.

What's the connection between the Spanish word ALMA and the project A.L.M.A?

Why refer to Spanish word ALMA? Abbreviation A.L.M.A (Atacama Large Millimeter Arra) has nothing to do with the Spanish word. Please correct me if I missed something?
