Okay, I'll make straightforward copyedits as I go and post queries below. Please revert if I change meaning inadvertently. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:37, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"'This is the largest and brightest galaxy within the northern Virgo Cluster, located about 55 million light years away from Earth - the way it reads, it isn't clear whether M87 or the Virgo Cluster (or both) is what is 55 million light years from earth. "  Done
"Messier 87 galaxy has no distinctive dust lanes... - do we need the "galaxy" here? Not written as such elsewhere.  Done
This identification was confirmed by 1953 - odd wording. You mean "The soruce was confirmed as coming from M87" (?)
The only known visual observation of the jet was by Russian-American astronomer Otto Struve using the 254 cm (100 in) Hooker telescope - how/why?
and may indicate that the black hole has been accelerated by the jet - I don't follow - you mean "moved" or "displeced" or ..what?
The Virgo Cluster section could be expanded a little - M87's role in it, closest neighbours etc.
