Edit fails verification

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This edit claims that Section 5.8.3 in a paper by Simon et al. supports the claim "this is slightly less than the actual orbital period, 365.256363 days." The section in question gives equations for 10 parameters, and the number 365.256363 does not appear in this section. Please explain how this section verifies the claim Jc3s5h (talk) 23:43, 1 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

As it is now getting bogged down in needlessly precise detail, I will just delete my footnote that attempted to give the "true" figure. The citations came from other articles, unchecked--𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:51, 1 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Gaussian year has incorrect value and missing citation

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The correct value with citation is on the 'Gaussian gravitational constant' page. The value should be 365.2563835 days or 365 days 6 hours 9 minutes 12 seconds. Here's the citation as it appears on the previously mentioned page.^[1]
