Semi-protected edit request on 19 October 2025
[edit]About the second symbol of Uranus (the Lalande's one), it can be added that this one was used in the popular anime Sailor Moon and probably help to popularize it for the general public over the Bode's one. 186.34.72.24 (talk) 22:39, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

In the last paragraph of "Banded structure, winds and clouds" under "Climate", the sentence "The UEDs were detected from 600,000 km of Uranus over 24 hours, most of which were not visible. [127]" is used as the second sentence, but the sentence is repeated twice as the 5th and 8th sentences. Please delete the the repeats of the sentence (i.e., sentences 5 and 8 of that paragraph) to prevent repetition. Webspaceships (talk) 22:29, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

ring width question
[edit]This article says that "all except the two rings of Uranus" are narrow. I looked at the main article on Rings of Uranus, to try to figure out what words were missing here, but the table there looks like four of the planet's rings are a lot wider than the others. Can someone who knows more about this take a look, please. Vicki Rosenzweig (talk) 16:23, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
Misspelling
[edit]One of the links at the bottom of the article reads 'Colonisation of Uranus' instead of Colonization of Uranus. Hexvern (talk) 17:33, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Pun
[edit]This is probably not the best idea, but should the pun be added to the culture section? ~2026-39457-86 (talk) 00:42, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
