[edit] Globular cluster

This is a significant general topic within the discipline of astronomy. The article has passed a PR and is a GA. I like to believe it also meets the FA criteria (much like its very nice sibling article Open cluster) so it's time to take the plunge. I'll try to address any objections that occur. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 20:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support, a very nice article. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 20:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Question: could you consider font size small (rather than smaller) on the references, for ease on the aging eyes? Sandy 22:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Sure, no problem. I updated the class. — RJH (talk) 21:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Support -- excellent article and well-sourced. --ScienceApologist 22:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, very nicely done. My only suggestion is to see if some of the several items in parens could be taken/reworded out of parens.Rlevse 23:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
    • I made a few revisions to remove some parentheses. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 16:10, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Excellent job. —Cuiviénen 14:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support. Squeaky clean piece of work. As for the parentheses, I don't see any of them interfering with audio recording of the article, which would be my usual concern. Well done. - Samsara (talkcontribs) 13:26, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support! I will smite any objections to this candidacy with a vengeance. ♠ SG →Talk 23:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Support Very well written. The only thing I would suggest is maybe adding a paragraph (or just a few sentences) regarding a few of the searches for extrasolar planets within globular star clusters, that globulars are currently thought to be rather unsuitable environments for planetary formation, etc. --Nebular110 23:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Okay thanks. I added a paragraph and a reference down in the Composition section. — RJH (talk) 16:10, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
