| == Quick Solution to Current List of Bright Stars Issue == | |||
| Hello L, wanted to call your attention to something... | |||
| @] My apologies for the last few posts, but trying to understanding your point of view is getting frustrating. Let's immediately and quickly fix this issue by putting it behind us, because I too have other edits and stuff to do... (like adding another seven stars to the ] to tally them to 100 stars.) | |||
| I am dismayed to see that someone has added a star naming company "Staracle" to the external links for a great many astronomical objects (see the ] page for example). Isn't this an undue use of Misplaced Pages to promote commercialism, a rather scammy one at that? | |||
| I did happen to reread this "''] wanted all magnitudes to be clearly referenced and to come from a single source, preferably the Yale Bright Star catalogue (or FK5, but that is a non-starter). Nobody objected.''" mixed with some of the unnecessary rhetoric... | |||
| I'm writing to you because I think you're a more experienced editor than me, so might know better how to deal with the issue. Or if not, at least let me know your opinion. Best and clear skies! ] (]) 23:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC) | |||

| :Somewhat a false alarm. Using LINKSEARCH, I found only about a dozen external links to Staracle. I will go ahead and remove them. Thanks for listening... ] (]) 03:18, 22 July 2024 (UTC) | |||

| == Shyam Singh == | |||
| :"The source of these magnitudes was taken from the USNO's ''Astronomical Almanac'' , which has a list of bright stars and their positions. If you bothered to look page L14 under "Section H:Stars ans Stellar Systems" it says of the 1467 stars listed; "all stars of visual magnitude 4.5 or brighter, as listed in the fifth revised edition of the Yale Bright Star Catalogue (BSC). I know this to be true, as the once missing No.63 β Auriga Beta Aurigae / Menkalinan 1.9 magnitude isn't included. (I fixed this on 18 June 2015, myself.) It is not in the FK5, because the star is a variable. (Most of these magnitudes also appear in the ''Fifth Fundamental Catalogue'' (FK5) Part I (Fricke+, 1988) (FK5), which had a revised edition in 1991.) The BSC V5 is mostly used because the magnitudes are consistent in both hemispheres of the sky. (The only useful 'update' is HIP magnitudes, which is also within the FK6, etc. This has the advantage of not suffering from atmospheric effects, which have to be properly accounted for in photometry.)" | |||

| == Blue Cone Monochromacy == | |||
| Hi Lithopsian, thank you for your advices. I'm going to remove the content of 'blue cone monochromac'. When I recently submitted the new article of my SandBox the answer I received from the editor Anarchyte was "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Misplaced Pages. You can find it and improve it at Blue cone monochromac instead". I thought, and now I understand that it was a mistake, that the editor was requesting me to put the content inside this page with the tiny change in the title. | |||
| I'm going to immediately remove my content from there. | |||
| Then my question is: 'Blue Cone Monochromacy' is a human disease, also known as 'Blue Cone Monochromatism' and there is an entry on wikidata for it https://www.wikidata.org/Q18553394 but not a wikipedia entry, other than a redirect to 'Monochromacy'. 'Monochromacy' is not a disease, https://www.wikidata.org/Q450059. Do you think it will be better to ask on the talk page of 'Monochromacy' in order to know if editors would like to consider my sandbox article ? | |||
| In my family there are many people with this disease, I often use Misplaced Pages and it is strange to me to don't see this disease inside wikipedia. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 16:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

| == calculation of the radius of NML Cygni == | |||
| hello Lithopsian, you helped me some time ago with regards to ], therefore I'm addressing you again: | |||
| * First I've got a question. on the talk page of NML Cygni you said: ''The radius is not calculated from the angular radius. As explained in the paper, 16.2 mas is not a directly measured value. It was derived from assumed values of the temperature, luminosity, and distance. 1,650 is a rounded value for the most likely physical parameters given in the reference (3,250K and 270,000 L).'' I was wondering, is there an article in the en.wiki or somewhere else in the net, that explains how exactly the radius of a star is calculated based on the (estimated) stellar parameters. The reason is I'd like to mention the calculation of the radius on the de.wiki, because you're right, people (including myself) are obsessed with ''the largest'', ''the most massive'' and so on and I think it is important to highlight the fact, that all radii are calculations based on estimated values. | |||
| * Second I'd like to ask you a favour, if you can spend the time. This article http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004ApJ...610..427Z is used as reference in the de.wiki for a calculated radius of 3700 for NML Cygni. Can you check if this is true, because it would make NML Cygni the by far largest known star. Thanks a lot. --] (]) 07:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC) | |||
