[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments
  • Comment! I had no idea there was a poll for this...I think the consensus issue has already been settled at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects/Archive 1#Naming Conventions. I have been moving these slowly but surely for the past several months, and haven't received any complaints. Of course, as mentioned, some of the intended names have edit histories (mostly when the target of a redirect was changed), so an admin will have to take care of those.

    • I thought the issue had been settled too, but since the majority of these are not moves which can be carried out by non-administrators I decided to force the issue. Of course, thanks to the recent page move, we are now in the somewhat ironic situation that the main page for the discussion of the block move now doesn't need to be moved. This doesn't invalidate the rest of the move requests though. Chaos syndrome 13:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
      • Moved everything up to M50. Will do more later when I have time - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 14:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
        • I'm beginning to strikethrough the moves that have been completed and have had their double redirects fixed. Ardric47 23:06, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Messier 60 still seems to be a redirect to an NGC # btw. Could this also be corrected?--Kalsermar 00:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
    • A quick Google search comparison suggests that the Messier designation is used more often than the NGC one, so I'd support that. Chaos syndrome 00:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
