[edit] Lack of references
References for this phrase and its referent? It sounds invented, and for all I know may have been invented by the anonymous wikipedian who made the page. I've never called for a VfD before, but this might be my first. Eric Forste 23:34, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] February
By my logic, the first two meanings (lack of either a full or new moon in a month) can only occur in Februray, as the lunar cycle is 29.53 days, and the shortest non-Feburary month is 30 days. Feburary, being 28 days (or 29 in a bissextile year), is the only month that is less than the full cycle, and that therefore can miss either a full or new moon in the month. As the cycle from dark moon to dark moon is less than 29.53 days, it is also impossible to occur outside February.
As for the fourth meaning (two new moons in a month), obviously this cannot occur in February. — Eoghanacht talk 16:18, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Plug
The line "For Black Moon the retro-metal band see www.myspace.com/blackmoonmusic" seems like a plug. There should be an entry for the retro-metal band Black Moon, rather than a reference to a myspace account.

[edit] What?
- "...by the first meaning,..."
- "...by the second meaning can,..."
By the end, this usage gets particularly confusing for those of us not very familiar with astronomy.
