GA review

Almost GA. I am requesting a minor clarification here:

requiring 17.4 days to complete a revolution.

What is a revolution? We need a wikilink. Carlosguitar 12:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've clarified it. Were there other concerns? Thanks. — RJH (talk) 17:01, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! — RJH (talk) 17:45, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Escape velocity calculation

Shouldn't that be half of 52800m in the equasion in footnote 7, giving an escape velocity of approximately 11.4 m/s? 52800 is the value cited for the average diameter, rather than the radius. Dependent Variable (talk) 11:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you're right (although I get 11.5). The formula for the surface gravity has the same problem: it should be four times that amount, or 0.01.—RJH (talk) 16:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Australian Navel Observatory

There is no Australian Navel Observatory. There isn't even an Australian Naval Observatory. Perhaps Johann Palisa was director of the Austrian Naval Observatory.

That was the result of an April 1st vandalism by an anonymous editor that somehow got overlooked. It is fixed now. Thanks for catching it.—RJH (talk) 18:04, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
