Question regarding APOD copyrights
Is the text on Astronomy Picture of the Day under copyright? It looks like the first two paragraphs of the article V838 Monocerotis consits largely of a copy/paste job on this APOD picture, which dates back to the earliest revision of that page. Chaos syndrome 21:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, I've put a rewrite request on the article rather than put a copyvio notice on it. Thanks. Chaos syndrome 22:23, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Unreferenced
I want to thank you for your efforts to make Wikipedia a verifiable and trustworthy encyclopedia. (I ran into you at Nkoroo, where you rightly added {{unreferenced}} — I fixed that.) By the way, I hope you don't mind I have put this highly interesting subpage of yours on my watchlist. Kind regards, — mark ✎ 12:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Breaking News!
Hey! The IAU voted today and approved the therm pluton and accepted charon, ceres, pluto, and xena, AS PLUTON PLANETS!
Well You have to admit, the IAUs summit in prague is convincing, undo changes to ceres, the other changes were footnotes on how they will be coming under fire.

M104 Group
You were one of the two critics of my "destroy all groups" comment in the Astronomical Object Wikiproject forum, so I wanted to run this by you first and see if I have a convincing case.
First, please look at Sombrero Galaxy under "Environment". I think I have made a good case that the membership of the Sombrero Galaxy to any group is questionable. (A galaxy pair is not a galaxy group.)
Next, look at the (mostly empty) M104 group of galaxies page. It does not make much sense to keep this page if it is uncertain as to whether the Sombrero Galaxy does belong to a group. In this light, would you support a move on my part to get the "M104 group of galaxies" page deleted?
Thank you, George J. Bendo 14:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response on this question. I also sent this message to Marasama, who I asked to email the person who created the Atlas of the Universe website with a CC to me. I am going to wait for the response before moving forward with deleting the article.
- Also, please note that the Atlas of the Universe website does list good references, but to write the group information for the Sombrero Galaxy article, I went to the website's references themselves rather than rely on the website for secondary information.

Charon is not a satelite
A satelite is defined as the secondary object where the Barycenter of the two objects is inside the primary object. The Barycenter of Pluto-Charon is 1200km above the surface of Pluto. Okay, fair enough. Many sources on the Internet are stating that Charon is a dwarf planet, but it isn't among the three (Pluto, 2003 UB313 and Ceres) listed in the IAU press release. and I cannot find any other IAU source stating that Charon is a dwarf planet.
