Talk:SN 1006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


[edit] Clarification required

I am unsure of the meaning of the reference "According to Songshi in the section of 56 and 461" this does not make a lot of sense - at least to me. Also, I have not encountered a reference to a constellation named Di - it is not one of the recognised stellar constellations in western cosmography - if there is such a constellation in eastern tradition - could a cross reference be made?

Is the following statement: "highest relative magnitude stellar event in recorded history" true only from a Visual spectrum perpective? I think much brighter events occured since, like GRBs and magnetar Flashes along other spectrum lengths


"Highest relative magnitude" is amgiguous - do you mean "brightest in terms of peak apparent visual magnitude" or "maximum change from pre-supernova magnitude to peak magnitude" ? Varunbhalerao 06:26, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


It is not entirely clear if the dates given are Julian or Proleptic Gregorian dates. grr 00:37, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tunc Tezel SN 1006.jpg

Image:Tunc Tezel SN 1006.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
