[edit] barnstar

		The E=mc² Barnstar
		Because you helped get Neptune to FA, I award you the science barnstar. :-) Serendipodous 12:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Sounds like a plan. And easier than the one I was going to do by myself... Serendi^podous 12:52, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Neptune

Hi, I noticed you reverted my last edit in Neptune. I intended to do a correction. You see, a difference of 10C equals a difference of 10K (you can see that in Kelvin). Obviously, the difference is not 283K. Also, 283K is approximately 10C, obviously, not the average temperature of nowhere in the planet.

Thanks, 99.231.26.15 (talk) 20:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Regards, 99.231.26.15 (talk) 20:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oort cloud

I've now doubled the article's length and number of references, but I can do no more. This article might be good as is, but most serious FA contenders that I've seen have been about ~10K longer. I have to say, you picked a hard one. It would have been a lot easier to get Scattered disc up to FA than Oort cloud, since there is a lot more information on it and we have actually observed it. Still, I wish you the best of luck. Serendi^podous 13:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for staying away since wedsneday mate. Family issues kept me away from the computer this whole holiday :/ I will check the article and run with it. I've printed two of the papers and going to work with them. I agree that it was a hard pick, but I didn't know it would be that painfull when I choosed that. Samuel Sol (talk) 14:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I agree with Serendipodous completely. Please excuse this, as my computer is acting up so I culdn't leave this on Oort Cloud's talk page. When are you going to nominate for FAC? Just wondering. =)Meldshal42_{Comments and Suggestions}^{My Contributions} 16:24, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Let me just give a run on the article the next 2 days. I will ask orange to run the en-dash tool and we will probably be good Wednesday or Thursday. Samuel Sol (talk) 14:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks, Meldshal42_{Comments and Suggestions}^{My Contributions} 19:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

FA for this article is not far. All we need is images and more information within each heading. Maybe we should search NASA's site, this could trun up some good information. But I would give the editors like us a week or so to get this done, not 2 days. Otherwise, I believe we will fail FAR. Thanks, Meldshal42_{Comments and Suggestions}^{My Contributions} 19:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you. And Serendipous clearly needs a break. heeh. I said two days as this is how long it would take me to copyedit and recheck all references. About the pictures, we are in sorry ground there. There ain't more. Since this topic is still pure theorical (the cloud is still a hypothesis), there ain't many pictures, even graphs like those. I will see on the NASA site if there are any artistic expression, or maybe plotings of probability distribuition of objects inside the cloud. But I doubt.

I'm still reading 2 of the papers, and trying to understand it enough to add the info from them into the article. I say we work in the article through the rest of the week, until sunday

Just personal preference. FAs get passed with both styles together so it isn't really much of a problem if you prefer the other way. Serendi^podous 20:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool Samuel Sol (talk) 20:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps we should begin wroking on scattered disc as Serendipodous suggested as this would be easier to get to FA. The oort cloud is a tough topic, and I think we should come back to it. Thanks, Meldshal42_{Comments and Suggestions}^{My Contributions} 20:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for it mate, if you two thing it is better. Again, as I said before, I "choosed" Oort cloud, because I knew of it, but didn't knew about the scattered disk, so I (wrongly) presumed it would be an easier topic. Samuel Sol (talk) 20:19, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, it would be quite a slog; there's a lot of available material on the scattered disc, not much of which is covered in that article. There are a few more things I'd like to add to the Oort cloud article before we say fie and end it. But by all means have a look at Google Scholar's papers on the disc. The abstracts should give you a starting point. Serendi^podous 20:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Alright. Hopefully we can easily bring scattered disc to FA and come back to oort cloud after. Meldshal42_{Comments and Suggestions}^{My Contributions} 19:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] = MADE FA

Oort cloud finally made FA! Congrats! Meldshal42_{Comments and Suggestions}^{My Contributions} 01:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw that marvelous. Sorry for the unoticed wikibreak. I was having some family troubles and completely forgot about wikipedia during taht time. Samuel Sol (talk) 16:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scattered disk

Well, it appears that Serendipodous is now working on Definition of planet. I've decided to be independent and do some work on scattered disc. Would you like to help me? Thanks, Meldshal42_{Hit me}^{What I've Done} 20:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

One month latter. And another wikibreak that you just don't realize you are going to take until it happens. Here I am. Really sorry for that. Are you still going independent on this and need some help with it? Samuel Sol (talk) 19:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

No I've started my own WikiProject and have been focusing on articles there. You're free to join if you wish. ~Meldshal42 19:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] usercheck

Maybe. Not sure what the criteria are for a usercheck. In these sorts of situations I usually like to assume good faith, and doesn't each IP have its own computer terminal? In that case I'm not sure a usercheck would be any help. Serendi^podous 07:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
