Hi there. I moved your re-direct tool to [[User:Thorsten_Alteholz/Control_ngc_messier_ic]] and out of article space where it does not belong. You might want to place a link to it somewhere at [[CZ:Astronomy_Workgroup]] where others can find it useful. I'd add it there myself but just know enough astronomy to do it as well as you | Hi there.

Welcome, Thorsten--thanks for the articles on astronomical topics. --Larry Sanger 14:28, 16 September 2007 (CDT)
NGC vs. Messier vs. English name
Have you discussed naming conventions for astronomical objects with anyone, Thorsten? I think you should.
I think we should use common English names for things when available, as part of article titles. But if Astronomy editors wish to do otherwise, I'll respect their wishes. For example, I'd like to see Crab Nebula or Crab Nebula (NGC 1952), not simply NGC 1952. The latter is simply not as findable for most people who are looking for information about the Crab Nebula. --Larry Sanger 13:12, 22 October 2007 (CDT)
- hmm, the redirection Crab nebula to NGC 1952 was deleted :-( Thorsten Alteholz 13:06, 23 October 2007 (CDT)
Did you notice that you redirected some of these names to pages without "NGC" (e.g., to 1976)? Please fix that. :-) --Larry Sanger 12:56, 23 October 2007 (CDT)
- oops, it is too late :-) Thorsten Alteholz 13:06, 23 October 2007 (CDT)
Redirect tool
Hi there. I moved your re-direct tool to User:Thorsten_Alteholz/Control_ngc_messier_ic and out of article space where it does not belong. You might want to place a link to it somewhere at CZ:Astronomy_Workgroup where others can find it useful. I'd add it there myself but just don't know enough astronomy to do it as well as you would. :-) Stephen Ewen 15:08, 28 October 2007 (CDT)
