Article review
[edit]It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:
- An "update needed" orange banner added by Renerpho in March. Is this banner still valid?
- "The Outer Sanctum" is also an unreliable source, as it is a personal blog.
If the banner is valid, should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

[edit]I've been following this page since the beginning, but I'm just a humble participant.--Io Herodotus (talk) 08:43, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
@Z1720, Renerpho, and ArkHyena: I'm finally getting around to updating this article. Or at least, trying to. This is a massive article that I have not touched since 2022, so the task is a bit daunting—especially when trying to not cringe at my old writing (I wrote this article to GA status 5 years ago...). I'll work on this intermittently for the sake of my sanity, so expect this to take a while—at least 2 months. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 19:29, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

- +1. better to make sure you aren't burnt out. ArkHyenawoop! (she/they/it) 21:17, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Nrco0e: Are you still intending to work on this? Z1720 (talk) 05:05, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Reference
[edit]@Nrco0e, your recent edits left the reference "horizons-heliocentric" used but not defined anywhere. Could you add it? Thanks, Wham2001 (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Added it. Thanks for letting me know that it was missing. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 17:46, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
