Talk:Barred spiral galaxy

How do you create external links on wiki? Do you just insert the "a href" html code you do for usual webpages?

Like this: [http://www.webpage.com/ TitleofWebpage]. And by the way, the Milky Way has long been suspected to be barred. Spitzer is just the most recent confirmation. :) --Etacar11 00:26, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yeah, it has been suspected to be a barred spiral, but the Spitzer has pretty much just proved it. And the bar is alot longer than previously thought. :) OK, testing link here (it did ask for sources, after all)... Title.

Your edit to the article makes it sound like yesterday astronomers thought it was a regular spiral and today they think its barred. That's all I meant. :) --Etacar11 03:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Just made a quick update, sounds a little more appropriate now.

Slashdot linkage

Heads up, there is a front page link to this article on slashdot right now, so expect edit traffic and vandalism to spike. - Chairboy 16:51, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes, and it's such a tiny article in need of expansion! --Etacar11 16:54, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
