I've given it my best. I hope to fuss on this from time to time. I aim to redirect all the other pages associated with MIRA to this page. Enjoy I sure did learning about MIRA. Sgerbic (talk) 22:06, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did fine tuning to article and added several templates above. RobP (talk) 23:42, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The importance is currently rated as low. This is arguable going by the guide, which says that private institutes are low importance, but dedicated research observatories are of mid importance; MIRA is both (its Oliver Observing Station is a dedicated research Observatory) -- Lowell Observatory is the only other organisation to which this applies in the USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CE00:DBA0:8D30:6E49:F281:1521 (talk) 08:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Weaver's Name

[edit]

Wm. is an abbreviation for William. "Wm. Bruce Weaver" is how he has always written his name throughout his career. See, for example, his MIRA website profile: https://www.mira.org/researchareas.htm or any of the Newsletters archived on the same website, or his ADS indexed publications: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/filter_author_facet_hier_fq_author=AND&filter_author_facet_hier_fq_author=author_facet_hier%3A%220%2FWeaver%2C%20W%22&fq=%7B!type%3Daqp%20v%3D%24fq_author%7D&fq_author=(author_facet_hier%3A%220%2FWeaver%2C%20W%22)&q=docs(library%2Fw425yGR8QVGNj_9EidV1yg)&sort=date%20desc%2C%20bibcode%20desc&p_=0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CE00:DBA0:CD0B:1434:5E3:18 (talk) 15:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
