Quasi-satellite disproven

I updated the "Quasi-satellite" section to indicate that the quasi-satellite hypothesis has now been disproven by New Horizons. Since the whole thing turns out to have been wrong, perhaps it should be removed altogether now. StormWillLaugh (talk) 11:15, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

@StormWillLaugh: According to the (15810) 1994 JR1 article, it is once again considered a quasi-satellite. I have no idea which assessment is correct, however. Kaldari (talk) 02:47, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Both links work. No need to mark URL as dead, yet. Dhtwiki (talk) 23:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Edit request: come into question

Currently the lead says: "After 1992, its status as a planet fell into question". Please correct this as follows: "After 1992, its status as a planet came into question". Alternatively, "was called into question". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.102.78 (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

 Half done. That sentence could indeed be improved, but there are other ways to improve it further. For one, there is the verb "to question". Also, it issn't a status issue per se, but a scientific question about what the nature of Pluto within the Solar System (i.e. planethood). --JorisvS (talk) 09:08, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Semi-Major axis of Puto is actually 39.481 AU. 65.113.89.157 (talk) 16:54, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Not done: as you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 16:57, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Per Nasa many of the orbital values are in need of updating http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/plutofact.html (NASA Official: Ed Grayzeck, edwin.j.grayzeck@nasa.gov Last Updated: 04 April 2016, DRW) retrieved 06202016
