:Done. Cleaned up a few other things as well, and took down both flags that were on the article. Strictly speaking, there's a new position for the star that comes out of the new VLBI work, but it seems like overkill to update that.

Need to revise distance
There's now a more accurate distance to SS Cygni, it now should read 370 lightyears (+/- some number for uncertainty, dunno what). see < http://scitechdaily.com/new-distance-measurement-of-ss-cygni-resolves-major-astronomical-mystery/ >.

- Done. Cleaned up a few other things as well, and took down both flags that were on the article. Strictly speaking, there's a new position for the star that comes out of the new VLBI work, but it seems like overkill to update that. BSVulturis (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Contradictory mass data in infobox & prose
Compare the following:
| Details | |
|---|---|
| Red dwarf | |
| Mass | 0.55±0.13[1] M☉ |
| Temperature | 4,560[1] K |
| White dwarf | |
| Mass | 0.81±0.2[1] M☉ |
The inclination of the system has been calculated to be about 50 degrees, yielding masses of 0.6 solar mass (M☉) for the white dwarf primary star and 0.4 M☉ for the red dwarf secondary star.[2] – Xingyzt (talk | contribs) 00:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
