I took out the expansion tag but I could not find the article in the list of rquests for expansion. The article is pretty decent now I think. --Kalsermar 16:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 04:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Ptolemy Cluster → Messier 7 — The name "Ptolemy Cluster" is not as commonly used as "Messier 7" or "M7" for this star cluster. A Google search for "Messier 7 -Wikipedia" versus "Ptolemy Cluster -Wikipedia" demonstrates that Messier 7 is much more frequently used as the name for this object.

[edit] Survey

Add  # '''Support'''  or  # '''Oppose'''  on a new line in the appropriate section followed by a brief explanation, then sign your opinion using ~~~~. Please remember that this survey is not a vote, and please provide an explanation for your recommendation.

[edit] Survey - in support of the move

  • Support - See my rationale above. Dr. Submillimeter 11:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support — Ptolemy Cluster gets a negligible number of ghits compared to, say, the Beehive Cluster. It appears to be a relatively little-used name, so Messier 7 makes more sense. Otherwise I have no strong opinion on the matter. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 19:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - never ever heard about Ptolemy Cluster before. Rursus 00:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move

[edit] SEDs

[1] - list it there, but I have noticed that a lot of nebulae/molecular clouds/clusters have nicknames. Thanks, CarpD 5/04/07

SEDS.org is an unreliable website. Most of their pages contain questionable or out of date information. SOme of their pages are not even referenced. Do not use their website. Dr. Submillimeter 00:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I did not noticed the .org vs .edu. The page was setup nicely that I did not noticed. Thanks, CarpD 7/04/07.
