You should add absolute magnitudes to every star articles with a starbox short in between apparent magnitude and distance. If the absolute magnitude is positive, then you should add the "+" sign when the apparent magnitude has a "+" sign. If the apparent magnitude does not have a "+" sign, then don't put the "+" sign in front of the absolute magnitude. If it is negative, we always put the negative sign in both apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. Cosmium 19:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Some prefer to add a plus sign before the value, others don't. Usually it is missing. It is a matter of taste. Declinations, however, should always have + or − sign.--JyriL ^talk 00:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
