[edit] Colours (Ixion/Orcus)
Hi, I’ve noticed you added a couple of images to plutinos' infoboxes. Such header images (compare with a few Main belt asteroids boxes) usually state clearly what they are (e.g. an actual picture for a lucky few, an artist’s vision, a computer plot generated with the given data set etc). Could you please add a short comment like this to 28978 Ixion & 90482 Orcus (and Sedna)? (on the image page).
The colours are an important differentiator among these objects. There’s more than one way to express them (including the albedo). In addition, the colour/albedo data for some of them are limited and a stream of new observations is making the images obsolete. (This happened to some of my images in just a couple of months!) I’ve been contributing for a while now to the physical characteristics, including colours (see the related articles or my page for a few examples). I’m concerned that unless we align among all contributors the data we’re using and the way we use them we are risking creating confusion by presenting the same objects with very different hues, much too dim or bright compared to others etc. I believe the images you’ve added are fine; such images add some identity to otherwise difficult to distinguish objects and add some 'life' to otherwise austere articles. I’d be interested to know what data do did you use (colour indices? Slope? Albedo?) and how did you render them. Thank you. Eurocommuter 08:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TNO satellite articles
Hello. I see you've been creating individual articles for some TNO satellites. Although it is true that every natural satellite should have an article, I wouldn't create articles for TNO satellites yet because we still know next to nothing about them. For example, the satellite of 2003 UB313 needs to be confirmed first.
PS. Please don't clear your talk page, see talk page guidelines.

[edit] Discuss...
Hi. Recently you created a separated article for 2003 UB313 when some while ago we'd decided that until much more was known about it there wasn't much point. All you'd done was removed one section from the main article and pasted it, so I put it back and restored the redirect. Now I see you reverted that, without using an edit summary, or mentioning it on the talk page. This is not very helpful, and I hope you'll discuss this on the talk page if you want to argue that there should be a moon article separate from the main article. If you don't discuss things when you disagree you'll find you generate far more friction than necessary. Also, as Jyril said, blanking your talk page is considered bad form.

[edit] Proposed Deletion
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article [[{{PlutonianSystem Footer}}]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at [[Talk:{{PlutonianSystem Footer}}]]. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
