Now that there is more than one Wikipedian on the project...

Since you are no longer the sole member of the Eclipse WikiProject, I thought perhaps now it can have a proper page. However seeing as the project page has been twice deleted, I don't want to go forward if you think that would be a bad idea, I was just going to copy User:Tomruen/Project solar and lunar eclipses to the dead link at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject eclipses. --TimL (talk) 05:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Looks like a good idea to me. -- Glenn L (talk) 04:08, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

BIG TODO

make this project page more user friendly to new users. Make it clearer what needs to be done, etc. This section itself is sort of a stub, I haven't even looked at the project page very closely yet. --TimL (talk) 20:47, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

BIG TODO II

There are a TON of articles that need the WikiProject Eclipses template. Need to find a bot that can do this, or some automated process. --TimL (talk) 21:10, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

A request has been made here.

lunarsolar saros twins

Evidently each solar saros has a lunar saros as a twin, with events alternating one sar (half saros) apart. Solar saros x is the twin of lunar saros (x-7). It is unfortunate they have different saros numbers. They start at roughly the same time, peak centrally at the same time, have almost exactly the same number of members and are otherwise intimately intertwined, each event alternating 9 years with the other. Why the (x-7)? Seems like it would make sense to give each pair the same saros number. Since we have charts for most of the solar and lunar saros perhaps they should be cross-linked. --TimL (talk) 14:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

eclipses

does this cover eclipes other than Earth-Moon-Sun / Moon-Earth-Sun? Occultations, transits? 65.93.15.213 (talk) 07:14, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
