Dubious fact

Also when a saros series has terminated, then often one inex after the last eclipse of that saros series, the first eclipse of a new saros series occurs.

This is dubious. Two eclipses that are separated by one inex have Saros numbers that are separated by one (X, X + 1). It is not possible for saros series X to end and have saros series X+1 start 29 years later because Saros series separated by 1 are more or less in progress simultaneously. -- B.D.Mills (T, C) 08:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The passage does not say that the old series and the new series have saros series numbers differing by one. It just says that when saros series X ends, then one inex period later, saros series Y starts. And that there is no numerical relationship between X and Y. I'm removing the dubious tag. --seav (talk) 04:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How to edit the example text

There's a typo in the "An example partial inex solar eclipse series" section: "anamolistic" should read "anomalistic". But when I click "edit", all I get is a reference in double curly braces. Where/how can I edit this typo? --203.191.180.216 (talk) 23:10, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is a template. You can edit templates by prefixing the Template name with Template: in the url (replacing spaces with underscores) for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Solar_Inex_series_2020_June_21

In this case there was another template inside that template {{Inex eclipse set info}} which can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Inex_eclipse_set_info

I went ahead and fixed the spelling error. Thanks for pointing it out. --TimL (talk) 12:02, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Typographical error

The solar eclipses mentioned in the section "An example partial inex solar eclipse series" seem to be belonging to solar inex series 52 and not 48. Please confirm. —Jencie Nasino (talk) 01:46, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
