Citations

I do not understand this article needs more citations: There are 3 links to the original science publications over "2MASS" on the internet, the title article is an own citation of an scientific project, in the article there is a table with citations over the organizations who made the scientific project and the data sources. Is anywhere an article on Misplaced Pages with more citations than that article? Vibria (talk) 16:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I am late to answer this question, but quite often readers are looking for inline citations to verify what they are reading is from a reliable source. -- Kheider (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Additional references to add

I'd like to expand this article, so as a placeholder for myself (and other interested editors), I'm putting links/citations for refs to use here.AstroCog (talk) 12:28, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Notability

There is a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects#WISE object notability and Talk:WISEPC J150649.97+702736.0#Notability that has implications for 2MASS objects.

Specifically, the question being asked is whether a slightly more liberal notability test is appropriate for the closest objects to Sol, such as the nearest brown dwarfs discovered by WISE.

Comments welcome either here or on either of those two pages. The discussion on the WISE page should of course focus on WISE objects, that here on 2MASS objects, and that on the WikiProject talk page on astronomical objects generally. But there's some interconnection, equally obviously. Andrewa (talk) 07:03, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
