==Babylon 5 Centauri not from Alpha Centauri==
Hi, you made an edit to the Alpha Centauri page asking for a source on the changes I made. Later in the paragraph, I listed two possible explanations for the confusion, one with an external source, the other that was mentioned elsewhere in wikipedia but for which I could not find a source. I'm new to editing so wondering if I could have structured this better when providing the one source I could find? [[User:MikeBz|MikeBz]] ([[User talk:MikeBz|talk]]) 21:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Your exoplanet radius charts

Just to let you know I've started a discussion of your radius charts here. I suspect they may constitute original research and in some cases may be misleading. Icalanise (talk) 22:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: COROT or CoRoT

There probably is a good case for moving the planet/star articles to CoRoT because the scientific literature appears to be fairly consistent in this usage. For the satellite itself it is less clear, certainly the various mission websites and press releases are quite inconsistent. You're also up against people claiming that the Manual of Style tells us to avoid odd capitalisation schemes, whether it actually does or doesn't may or may not be another matter. Presumably we should be consistent whatever the decision. As you can see the idea of using CoRoT was shot down when I tried to move it before. Icalanise (talk) 21:43, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your thinking: the satellite and mission can stay COROT (there's enough inconsistency in the literature), but the planet and star articles should move to CoRoT (the relevant literature is quite consistent). I don't think those who would argue that Manual of Style has anything to say against this have a leg to stand on. AldaronT/C 22:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
