I would advise you to remove this statement from the top of the article
occasionally distinguished as Luna
As Luna is not a English word but Spanish or Latin word 24.39.37.130 (talk) 21:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus was established some time ago (here for example) that the word "Luna" is Latin, not English, and is used only in science fiction. The term seems to have crept back into the article recently, so I've removed it from the lead per the request and earlier consensus. The word is correctly discussed in the mythology and lunacy sections, and could well be added to a future science fiction section. Dbfirs21:50, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is Roman by origin, but it is the commonly accepted name worldwide. And since this En wiki is an international wiki, the more common name should be also noted. Elk Salmon (talk) 06:11, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
,,, but, as you say, this is the English Wikipedia, so only names used in English should appear in the lead. By all means mention names used in other languages later in the text. Dbfirs07:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Error in the Earth - Moon System ( Schematic )
The distance from the center of the Earth to the Earth - Moon Barycenter is 4671 Km, not 4641 Km.
The Mass of the Earth is about 81.301 times the Mass of the Moon which has a mass of 1.0.
The E - M System has a mass of 82.301 so the distance is 384405 km / 82.301 = 4670.7 km.
Rounding up gives 4671 km. A mass of 81.301 orbiting at a distance of 1.0 is balanced by a mass
of 1.0 orbiting at a distance of 81.301, but, the total distance between the masses is 82.301.
The System is co-linear, co-orbiting, balanced, and, mass and distance proportional. Notice that
the total mass of the system is 82.301, and the total distance is 82.301. 98.245.216.62 (talk) 17:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
