This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Yellow is currently being worked on - can anyone spruce up Yellow#Astronomy nicely? and add any other examples (apart from the obvious sun and G stars) Casliber (talk · contribs)

While doing some cleanup, I found a malformed template, {{Ecliptical constellations}}, which I fixed some markup errors on (which is how I discovered it), and noticed that it was "split" from {{Zodiac}}. Frankly, I don't see the new template (it was created at the end of August 2009) having any use over the old template {{Zodiac}}. If no one objects, I will send it to WP:TFD for deletion. 76.66.196.139 (talk) 06:56, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should Category:Discoverers of extrasolar planets contain only astronomers, or should it also contain search teams/projects/surveys? Most of the categories in the heirarchy only contain astronomers, but there is one "cousin" category that only contains observatories. The category as it is now currently contains all astronomers except one search program. 76.66.196.139 (talk) 09:18, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How about a Category:locations for astronomy ?
While I was catdifusing/cleaning up Category:Astronomy, I couldn't diffuse Astronomy in ChileorRidge A, and I noticed Category:Astronomy protected areas of South Africa. So... a new category for locations might be in order, containing these three, and Category:astronomical observatories and Category:Astronomy museums ...

Hello,
I'm requesting peer review on astronomer Nicholas U. Mayall in the hopes of making it a Good Article. Please provide your feedback. Thanks.

Following recent changes by some editors to the Wikipedia:Naming conventions policy page, a Referral For Comment, (RFC) is now being held to debate the removal of the passage specifying that individual WikiProject and other naming conventions are able to make exceptions to the standard policy of using Common Names as the titles of Wikipedia articles.
This WikiProject is being notified since it operates such a specific naming convention. Editors are invited to comment on the proposed change at this location. Xandar 00:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After deleting Category:Pages within the scope of WikiProject Physics (WP Astronomy Banner) as an empty category, TimothyRias wrote a message in my talk page that the template "is used for a legacy feature of the {{astronomy}} template, which allows the astro=yes switch to tag articles which should also have the {{physics}} template. This category lists the articles that use that switch (which should then be tagged and assessed.) If this seems like a roundabout way of doing things, thats because it is. But as long as that option exists on the {{astronomy}} template, this category should exist to record its use."'.
So there are some things:
I wrote the same message some days ago in Template talk:Astronomy and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. I've been addressed that this is the right place to discuss it. -- Magioladitis (talk) 01:11, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
User:Serendipodous merged Jupiter mass into the planet Jupiter.
Someone reverted him, but he's still trying to push it through at the Jupiter talk page, complaining that there has always been resistance.
I said, "What reasons can be given, other than Jupiter mass being a stub, for a unit of measurement to be merged into an article about a planet?" - but he still came back at me. I am not going to exhaust myself explaining the simplest of things to the ... He is unable to listen to reason, perhaps weight of numbers will dissuade if not persuade him. HarryAlffa (talk) 18:07, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
User:HarryAlffa has proposed that solar mass , jupiter mass , earth mass , lunar mass all be merged into Astronomical system of units. see Talk:Astronomical system of units.

I have nominated Planetary nebula for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Tom B (talk) 20:40, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Royal College Astronomical Society has been prodded for deletion, additionally, there is a possible copyright violation warning on the page. 76.66.197.30 (talk) 02:25, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
See Category:List of the star names by constellation ; these list articles seem to be in need of help, since they're built like a name dictionary, and in current form would be more suitable to be transwikied to Wiktionary instead of being articles here...

Hi,
Expert assistance is needed at Bareket observatory. Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I started putting articles about education-oriented observatories and minor amateur astronomical societies in the Bottom importance category for WP:Astro, but that seems to be stirring ill feelings with at least one amateur astronomer. What do you think? Should everything be lumped under Low in order not to antagonize some people? Certainly some pages have a lower Low importance than others, but I didn't think the rating was all that important. It seems to be mainly for identifying high and top priority pages (or at least that's how I use it). Thoughts?—RJH (talk) 21:53, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As of this moment, all of the articles that were in "Category:Unassessed Astronomy articles" have received an assessment. Phew!!! Anyway, hopefully it should be fairly easy to keep up now. There seem to be only a handful of unassessed articles added per week. (I am finding quite a few worthwhile astronomy articles that don't have assessment templates though.)—RJH (talk) 20:51, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone in the know disambiguate "Great Wall" as it appears in Arp 272. The "450 million light years from Earth" would seem to suggest CfA2 Great Wall (as would the redirect Great Wall (astronomy), however the "largest known structure in the universe" would seem to suggest Sloan Great Wall. Thanks. -- ToET 03:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
