Globular cluster[edit]
I've tried to expand this article to be, hopefully, fairly comprehensive. But it has now hit 32k in size, so I didn't want to keep adding more stuff that could be put on sub-pages. Please take a look and let me know how this article could be improved, or where it needs a fix-up. (Compare to open cluster for example.) Thank you! — RJH (talk) 20:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- At a quick glance it looks good, but the comment in the opening picture seems a bit confusing: is located about 28,000 light years distant. Should that be is located about 28,000 light years from Earth or maybe is located at a distance of about 28,000 light years from Earth? --darkliight[πalk] 07:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Bumped up the PR stack—hoping to get more feedback. Sorry for the inconvenience. — RJH (talk) 21:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- The line "However globular clusters were not resolved as individual stars until Charles Messier observed M4" is confusing me a bit, the intro describes globular clusters as a collection of stars, so is the sentence I quoted correct?
- The placement of the second picture (M75) creates a lot of whitespace (I'm viewing the page at 1280x1024). Can it be moved up a bit?
- The table of the early discoveries is good, but does it have to be sitting there on its own (creating more whitespace) or could it be floating to the right with text wrapping around it?
- Could some information about the way these objects were catalogued be introduced for the novices (like me)? A quick look around wikipedia and I found out NGC = New General Catalogue and M = Messier, but maybe that could be included in one sentence somewhere with a wikilink.
- Some of the wikilinks are to redirect pages, e.g. Globular Cluster M15 redirects to Messier 15. --darkliight[πalk] 08:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
