No biceps

[edit]

With this change I removed "biceps" as a star name for Gamma. Googling on '"Gamma Herculis" biceps -Wikipedia' gives 3 hits, indicating that the "name" originated from an inventive Wikipedia editor, like the fake star name "Bogardus" (a family name) that another inventive editor had added. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 19:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Template talk:Stars of Andromeda which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 05:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gliese/GJ designations

[edit]

One possible reason to include the catalogue identifier for Gliese stars is to distinguish Gliese and GJ designations. See Template:Eridanus (constellation) for an example. Usage of the different prefixes in Wikipedia (and elsewhere!) seems inconsistent. Simbad prefers GJ in all cases, although it recognises Gliese as a synonym.
