Re the Category

It is not. I will sort. You free for a drink soon? WJBscribe 17:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, if you want you can add {{Notable Wikipedian|Chrislintott|Lintott Chris}} to the top of the talkpage on your article. It notes that the subject of the article edits Wikipedia with the stated account name and adds you to the category Notable Wikipedians. Will 17:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Milky Way Diameter

Hi Chris,

The person who edited the diameter of the Milky Way to 75,000 light years is currently studying Astronomy as a freshmen at the University of Minnesota, so he felt that his editing the information was justified. However, he's new to editing articles :). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hypershadow647 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Ah, your first vandalism warning.... By the way, blatant username policy violations can be reported straight to WP:AIV for immediate blocking by an admin. Examples include profanity in the name but also: "Usernames that consist of random or apparently random sequences of letters and/or numbers or of extended repetition of a particular character"), which I think covers this one. They've been blocked by Deskana in any event. As to your question on my talkpage, I'm still giving it some thought... Will (WjBscribe) 21:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Andy Murray

Hello!

I think your draft is excellent, and would make the article seem much more professional. Please add it to the article! --Flute138 16:50, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sky at Night updates

Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you on this but I wanted to have a think about WP:COI and a couple of recent Arbcom decisions before commiting myself. Given the reasoning of the proposed decision in the Derek Smart case, I would suggest that the best course of action to take where one wishes to see updates to an article but cannot properly edit due to a conflict of interest would be to use the talkpage. I would briefly explain the conflict of interest, mention what sort of updates you feel are necessary and provide reliable sources for others to work with. Usually the main bar to updating happening is lack of sources (or willingness to find them). I think if you list possible sources with brief summaries of what they refer to on the talkpage it should encourage the expansion and updating you seek.

Project Galileo

This appears to be fairly unremarkable school project. But if you have a sec to take a look I'd be grateful. If I'm wrong, could you weigh in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Project Galileo (2nd nomination). Thanks, WjBscribe 02:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I just wanted you to tell me if it was in fact majorly important and just badly written. Cheers for the imput. WjBscribe 12:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Galaxy

Don't be too negative - hopefully people will be interested in your hard work and appreciate it. The vandals are just the price to pay for that, and we'll all clear up after the party. Chrislintott 17:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well my negativity comes from experience, and I'll likely be doing most of the clean up. But thanks. — RJH (talk) 19:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andromeda-Milky Way collision

The two links at Talk:Milky_Way should have been [1] and [2]. Sorry about that, let me know if I missed any.--mikeu 23:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Large pathetic galaxy

To be quite honest, I have no idea if the article content is "correct" or not. If you'd like to make a redirect of the article (even just to Galaxy, or to any other location), or anywhere else, or to correct its content, you're certainly welcome to do any of that. All I do is look at the AFD and determine whether there is a consensus as to what to do with the article. In this case, it appeared that there was not. If you disagree that my reading of the AFD was correct, you're certainly welcome to take it to a deletion review. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 17:54, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

milky way

There is a ref at the first mention of magnitude at the top of the article, so I removed the cite needed tag at the second mention.--mikeu 02:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elliot McGucken

I don't think its worth nominating that one for deletion- likely to end in no concensus. I'd be tempted to ignore it unless you have strong feelings about it. See what you think of my efforts to clean it up- its still a bit of a mess. WjBscribe 21:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
