Hi - I just reviewed Ackermannviridae, and I'm afraid I cut out a section of it because it was basically word-for-word the same as the source. It's really tricky when you're working from a single source to come up with your own phrasing, and I didn't want to attempt a redraft myself because I don't have the requisite subject-matter knowledge to come up with appropriate alternative language, but I thought I'd better let you know. You can find out more about our copyright policy at COPYVIO. Thanks GirthSummit _(blether) 19:52, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the enthusiasm on List of virus species. However, I reverted your changes as the viruses you added are not currently accepted as species at the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, which is the source listed in the citation for the list. It doesn't mean they are bad articles or aren't 'real' viruses, just that they shouldn't be on the list. I know that the ICTV members are voting on the updated taxonomy now, and will ratify and publish it soon. When that happens, the list here should be updated with the new information and will likely have some of the new species you are interested in. Cheers! --awkwafaba (📥) 19:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. While we appreciate your attempts to help keep scientific classifications on Wikipedia thorough and up-to-date, one of your recent edits doesn't fit the format required for the taxonomy templates to function properly, and it has been reverted or removed. Please have a look at the automatic taxobox documentation where you can find answers to frequently-asked questions as well as guidelines for tweaking the taxonomy templates. If you need further assistance, consider asking for assistance. If you wish to make test edits, please do them in the sandbox. Thank you. --awkwafaba (📥) 18:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Kepler-298, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it has been moved to Draft:Kepler-298 where you can continue to work on it. Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article". You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Please add the body text of the article in your first submission or shortly after; articles without infoboxes are eligible for speedy deletion under criterion A3 after 10 minutes.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to List of largest exoplanets, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 22:58, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, SDSS J140821.67+025733.2, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Minorax (talk) 15:44, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you added 4 planets to List of exoplanets discovered in 2020. While all of these are planets previously not reported in wikipedia lists, several points are need to be addressed to improve the quality of your contributions:

• Planets in question should be actually added to another page - List of exoplanets discovered in 2019
• Too many non-significant digits - leave a maximum of 3 (or 2 if any significant digits exist) of non-significant digits, especially in calculated distances
• Place proper references to planet data - reference to top page of exoplanet catalog is not useful
• Use wikipedia template cite arXiv|eprint= for arxiv references instead of raw hyperlink. The template will be automatically expanded by wikipedia bot.
• Be careful while reporting semi-major axis of planets discovered by microlensing - due to limitation of method, usually exist 2 widely separated solutions for semi-major axis, while summary exoplanet databases usually publish only one, sometimes arbitrarily selected. I advice to check original discovery papers for all microlensing events before reporting semi-major axis.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of mountains by elevation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Laram Q'awa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Some recent edits at Template:Taxonomy/Mimiviridae appear to have caused errors ("Lua error in Module:Autotaxobox at line 156: attempt to index a nil value") at:

• Catovirus
• Chrysochromulina ericina virus
• Hokovirus
• Indivirus
• Klosneuvirus

Also, Template:Taxonomy/Megavirales seems to be unfinished. Please fix the problems soon or revert your changes because the errors need to be removed. Johnuniq (talk) 09:11, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Full list of minor planets. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – List of minor planets. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of minor planets. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MrClog (talk) 10:31, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this your final warning for the List of largest known stars; this edit summary makes it sound like you didn't even read the source, let alone the fact that it was in the correct section. Continue reverting without actually checking things and you will be blocked from editing the page. Primefac (talk) 17:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did read the source and I had mistaken it for the Milky Way section and I did realise that it was after that although I couldn't change the edit summary, it is that simple. Also, I'm not trying to vandalise Wikipedia and I am trying to improve it. Another thing is that it does not make sense to call it my "final warning" because this is only my first warning for this page ever (at least on my user talk).

I reverted your change at HV 11417, where you replaced the {{val}} template with a number containing a comma for the thousands separator. The reason we use the val template is that not everyone uses commas for digit grouping - in some regions, the comma is a decimal marker (among English-speaking nations, South Africa). In others, the commas go at different intervals (see Decimal separator#Digit grouping). The compromise is to use a thin space separator every three digits before the decimal, which is accomplished by the val template. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 07:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article LGGS J004431.71+415629.1 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:NASTRO whatsoever. It has only been mentioned in tables and a tiny bit outside of them to mention it being a potential foreground object.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article WOH S264 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WOH S264 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Lithopsian (talk) 14:11, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This estimate is not accurate, it only considers a small range of fluxes (12-25 μm). This luminosity as well as the 630,000 Lsol one get the value from integrating the spectral energy distribution, which basically means the area under the curve of the flux as a function of wavelength. Since the 90,000 Lsol estimate only considers a narrow range of wavelength space, it only encapsulates a small fraction of the total area, and hence underestimates the luminosity. Pretty sure the 630,000 Lsol value also uses the same IRAS photometry, but also considers the full wavelength range so does not underestimate the luminosity. VY Canis Majoris (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am not underestimating the luminosity. I was quite sure it was not so accurate, but it was the best one I could find. Read what I stated in the talk page. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 12:08, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The 90,000 Lsol value is still an underestimate even if it seems more plausible, it cannot be used. Even assuming the star is foreground its kinematic distance only reduces to 5.1 kpc, reducing its logL to 5.57 or 5.69 for Humphreys' estimate. VY Canis Majoris (talk) 15:46, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree that it is an underestimate (and I don’t use that luminosity anymore). The distance is still uncertain and the star not well studied. The 277,000 L_☉ calculation I mentioned was only based on an assumed extinction. I would therefore say that a logL of 5.57-5.69 is possible but the star needs further research for there to be higher certainty and if it is a red supergiant, the logL is somewhere in the range of 5 to more than 5.6SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 16:00, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see that on the VY Canis Majoris page, you stated the value of 2,069 solar radii for VY Canis Majoris is based off an effective temperature inconsistent with its spectral type.

However, VY Canis Majoris is said to have spectral types of M3, M4.5, M2.5, and M5e Ia.

The different spectral types would affect the temperature, and therefore the radius.

We know for certain it's an irregular pulsating variable star.

While the radius of 1,420 solar radii falls within the current theoretical limit for a star's radius in our theory of stellar evolution, pulsations mean the radius changes and that's more true for radial pulsations.

Whether its size ranges from 1,300 to 1,540 (in addition to the margin of error for its calculated radius) or up to 2,069 solar radii (in addition to cool-end of estimates adopted temperature of 2,800 K and a luminosity of 237,000 x that of the Sun) in its pulsations, very little detail was explained in your statement with hardly anything addressed.

The explanation for the edit was somewhat confusing though, just saying. Eric Nelson27 (talk) 10:31, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The original paper in with 2800 K in 1996 does still have extremely low and obsolete effective temperatures for many stars and includes enormous luminosities. It is better to use a physically possible one, rather than an outdated and spurious one. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 10:58, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see and agree. Eric Nelson27 (talk) 14:28, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A statement by you does not make something true. WP:SYNTHESIS applies to the use of "facts" from two different sources to derive a third "fact", even if the calculation is trivial. Hence, a radius derived using a distance from one source and an angular radius from a different source violate WP:SYNTHESIS, even though the calculation is trivial. If you feel differently, take it to a wider audience such as e project talk page. Lithopsian (talk) 17:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that you are misinterpreting this rule. First of all, WP:SYNTH doesn't necessarily refer to using two or more sources:"Similarly, do not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source". Then, all articles that have calculated radii from a luminosity and effective temperature (common in Star-like articles) would be breaching WP:SYNTHESIS, but it doesnt, because routine calculations are not considered original research, hence are not WP:SYNTHESIS. The radius can be calculated using {{Solar radius calculator}} or the equation Diameter (AU) = AD (arcsec) × Distance (pc). InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 12:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It only violates the letter, not the spirit of the policy. The WP:No original research policy was made to make all content in the articles verifiable, and the radius itself is verifiable. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 12:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where i can find the radius of UY Scuti (909 R_☉) in the Healy et al. 2023 reference? In your edit summary, you said the data can only be accessed in the Github table ([2]), but in this link there are several files and folders, which make it difficult to find which one is correct.

Go to data/Final_RSG_Catalog_8_10_2023.csv. SpaceImplorerExplorerImplorer 20:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The GitHub file is practically unreadable because it is in .csv format, so I downloaded it and put it in a spreadsheet editor that automatically converts csv files to tables. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 22:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded the spreadsheet at Mega (https://mega.nz/file/Dbw1zSbS#DkSsykTYmCDEWrFZbQHEaGKSLjDsQQuHFq3SKo-yVmY). While the authors of the paper don't place data at VizieR it will be useful. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 22:58, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
