Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to RX Telescopii, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 01:32, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
GCIRS 7 moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, GCIRS 7, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Celestina007 (talk) 05:25, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Sure, will do, am still working on that one tooPNSMurthy (talk) 05:27, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello PNSMurthy,
I have moved the page you recently created into draft-space, at Draft:Pending addition for stars over 700rsol, because it is currently empty. You are welcome to move it back into article-space once the list contains entries. Thank you, Passengerpigeon (talk) 01:38, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi,
It is supposed to be empty, it is a place no one has put entries in yet. I will move it back into it’s place, I am sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks, PNSMurhyPNSMurthy (talk) 02:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Why have you now moved it into template-space, though? What is your intention for the page? If it is supposed to be collaboration between editors rather than a page that ordinary site visitors will read, it should either be on Talk:List of largest stars or moved into your own userspace. Passengerpigeon (talk) 03:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Very sorry, I am still learning about Wikipedia. It is a page for people to catalogue stars not yet added to the list of largest stars.PNSMurthy (talk) 04:20, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- In that case, it should be in userspace; I have moved it there for you, at User:PNSMurthy/Pending addition for stars over 700rsol. The Template: namespace is for pages that are intended to have their contents transcluded onto another page. Thank you, Passengerpigeon (talk) 04:26, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, and again, sorry for any inconvenience I caused by making this mess!PNSMurthy (talk) 04:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

{{Re|Sam-2727}},
Hi Sam,
I do not get why this page should be deleted, it seems to be the same as all other star stubs.
How does a star not being notable mean it has to be deleted? - nope, I get why this page was never meant to be.
PNSMurthy (talk) 05:15, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Notability
Please, in the future, check if stars meet WP:NASTRO or the general notability guidelines (WP:Notability). Sam-2727 (talk) 22:06, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Sure Sam, thanks for the advice!123455 (talk) 08:03, 20 June 2020 (UTC) PMurthy1011 (talk) 08:05, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I think I remember editing that article, is it a violation of the notablity guideline?
Anyway, sure, it can go:)

- If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
Sure, I will continue to work on it. I could not find any acceptable and relaible refs, but will continue searching:)PMurthy1011 (talk) 09:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
V1804 Sagittarii and V1647 Orionis.
How big are those stars and where did you see the sizes? (Please give sizes for all your stars in your personal list, and also add some line breaks to make it look much more clean) example:
Like this:
1. star a
2. star b
3. star c
Not like this:
star a star b star c
Nussun05 (talk) 07:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Ha, I am still working on my list As far as I remember, V1647 Orionis is around 2 million km (the cite for that stars showed that) - it is a protostarPMurthy1011 (talk) 10:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
V1804 Sagitarii is in the same site where you found the 1800 estimate for VV Cephei (check the history for the new list).PMurthy1011 (talk) 00:27, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
The ref mentions it, but it does not give a size Nussun05 (talk) 06:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
If you could see the original document on my pc, you will see it in a text box beside Westerlund 1-26 as a note. It is not part of the actual list:)PMurthy1011 (talk) 06:46, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
I have removed the list and will re-upload it when finished with it.PMurthy1011 (talk) 08:01, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
btw 2 million km would only be slightly larger than our sun (1.4 million) and not one of the largest stars. Nussun05 (talk) 08:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, it was a mistake. I checked it's size, and after calculations it is 2,004 (roughly) solar radiiPMurthy1011 (talk) 08:12, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Please provide a reliable ref. Nussun05 (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
The ref no longer exists, is now says 'nginx not found', sorry! - and if you're asking me about how I got it's size in the first place, it is from the copy I saved to my notes.PMurthy1011 (talk) 05:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
The article List of strongest arthurian knights has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Original research and fails WP:LISTN. There are no inclusion criteria for what makes a knight the "strongest" and the article itself even admits it is OR and unencyclopedic... "This list is liable to opinionated edits, and is backed up by shaky ground... this mythology is inconsistent and listing is from the opinions of both the writer, and reader of texts."
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Spicy (talk) 12:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Thanks Spicy,
As you may have seen from the above topic on my talk page, I have already has difficulties with this page. I will add a new section specifying number of victories and defeats, and from the percentage gained from that I will rank my list. (Please note that these wins will come from literature).
Thanks again, PMurthy1011 (talk) 00:35, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
Your signature
Hi. When you sign talk page posts, it currently appears as "PMurthy1011", which does not match your username. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but it can be somewhat confusing to readers because it looks like a username. If you want your signature to correctly reflect your username (PNSMurthy), you can reset it by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal, clearing out the Signature field, and un-checking the "Treat the above as wiki markup" checkbox.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of visionary tall buildings and structures, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Robynthehode (talk) 11:13, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
Sure, I was merely expanding on a phrase though, and it was a little synonymous, though there definitions may be considered separate and/or different. I did not think it needed a source, but sure, I will be more cautious here onwards:)PNSMurthy (talk) 02:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
List of knights
I see you've copied a PRODed article to your userspace at User:PNSMurthy/List of Strongest Arthurian Knights. Just because the page is inappropriate for mainspace doesn't mean it can be kept in userspace; please see the appropriate section in WP:NOTWEBHOST:
Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia.
You can ask for this to be deleted yourself by placing {{db-u1}} at the top of the page; otherwise I'll be nominating it for deletion. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:06, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, that's because I am still editing it. I will re upload it to Wp is and when I am able to find reliable sourcing. - if not, it can go. Please do not nominate this for deletion until I have worked things out.
- Thanks!PNSMurthy (talk) 00:20, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Please indent your replies, as I've done for you; see Help:Talk for more info; thanks.
- The general topic of Arthurian knights is encyclopedic, and already exists at Knights of the Round Table. There's no possible way to create a list of them by "strongest" in any remotely acceptable form. If you attempt to recreate it, it will be PRODed or nominated at WP:AFD as well. I'm giving you the chance to save everyone the hassle and request that it be deleted from your userspace. If not, I will be nominating at MFD. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:47, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I myself have had problems with this list (see above topics on this page). I will simply blank the page.PNSMurthy (talk) 04:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Done! You don't have to worry about that anymore! I will also delete it from my sandbox.PNSMurthy (talk) 04:18, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited V538 Carinae, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AGB (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

- Sure, but a lot of this information is unsourced, please add the sources for your information, otherwise those signs might come back again (if it is not me, it might be someone else), but please, there is a lot of source work needed in that article:) And yes, I see what you mean, if needed.

Speedy deletion nomination of Trumpler 27-1-- please rethink
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Trumpler 27-1 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Dtt1Talk 09:04, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
It has links, it was a mistake. See the article now, there are two references. Please rethink this.PNSMurthy (talk) 09:06, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
Stephenson 2 merge
Did you really want to merge St2-18? Or at least discuss merging? If so, you need to tag both articles, using the {{merge from}} and {{merge to}} templates. Ideally, create a discussion section so people can see why you want to merge. This will also prompt responses from other editors instead of them just shrugging their shoulders and moving on. By default, this would be on the merge to page, but you can use the discuss field in the templates to put it elsewhere. Lithopsian (talk) 15:16, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

?????- VY Canis Majoris
Is VY Canis Majoris only 1,160 solar radii? this is unusual for an extreme star. Is this True !?!?!?
- I am currently working that out myself. See VY Canis Majoris, and you will see it's luminosity is 179,000L. Using the Stephan Boltzman law, I gained 1,160. But Nussun05 says the luminosity is not in the ref given by the above mentioned article. I will go and clarify this - than get back to you.
Thanks!PNSMurthy (talk) 01:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nussun 05, As you may have seen in the above section, along with the above topic on this page, VY Canis Majoris' article shows Lbol of 178,000. I used this to calculate the radius, then, referencing the reference from the article, I added the size to the New List. But you seemed to have undone my edit. I have re-done this edit, and before you undo it again, check the article again and on Vizier. Thanks! Please cite that article and the article where the temperature comes from. Both at the same time. Nussun05 (talk) 05:57, 2 July 2020 (UTC) A luminosity of 178,000 for VY Canis Majoris was derived from [1] this. It stated so in this namesake discussion's article.PNSMurthy (talk) 06:04, 2 July 2020 (UTC) That article does not give a temperature, you’re gonna have to cite the ref that gives the temperature (from 2012) too. Nussun05 (talk) 06:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC) See the WP article for VYCma, and see the starbox catalogue for temperature. This source is from there. I haven't actually gone through the source. If there is no temperature, the article is wrong, or someone has provided the wrong source,PNSMurthy (talk) 06:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC) Davies, Ben; Beasor, Emma R. (March 2020).

As you may have seen from the above section, I have addressed Nussun05, and now will undo his edit. For any further questions, please address Nussun05, because, if the above mentioned article is correct, than Nussun05 must have misjudged. If it is wrong, and he persists, come back to me and I will try to work things out.PNSMurthy (talk) 01:38, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
It seems I misjudged actually ... I took temperature from a different source to the one with the new luminosity, going against WP:Synthesis. Never mind what I did!PNSMurthy (talk) 07:39, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Lol. Even though Stephenson 2-18 is my favorite star since it is the Largest When I see a well known star Get downgraded I absolutely Care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk • contribs) 04:47, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
I saw your List of largest Galaxies
I saw your list of largest galaxies, and Its okay. At least you did not put Markarian 501's 12,581,000 ly size- It turns out It was calculated from an apparent size of 94.86 arcminutes , Which was confused with arcseconds. So, the quoted size is inaccurate, and it isn't that large. BTW, The 832,000 ly estimate for UGC 2885 was based on an older distance, newer distances give lower distances, so UGC 2885 is not that huge. the actual largest spiral is Malin 1. --THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 15:12, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Hmf, okay. I know that mistake. When I found that stat on Markarian 501 I decided to take a look at its reference. I found that mistake. Was about to downsize it myself when someone else did. Really? I'll have a look at UGC 2885, see if I can find a size in the article, and, if the size if lower than the one I assumed, then, I'll figure things out:)PNSMurthy (talk) 22:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Welp, With Markarian 501 being downsized, It looks like IC 1101 is back on track. Also, IC 1101’s black hole at 40 Billion solar masses is MUCH Larger and More Massive than Markarian 501’s black hole which is only 900 million solar masses.

Okay?PNSMurthy (talk) 07:47, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Ok. I will put none of my personal opinions. --THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 09:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
I noticed something again, the 218,000 Ly stellar diameter might be a radius since the 424,000 ly stellar diameter has a radius of 212,000 Ly. Pls Correct this. THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 13:24, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
What are you talking about? 1.) Which galaxy? 2.) In the first sentence, you mentioned a 218,000 Ly stellar diameter, and the second time around you mention 420 and 212,000. Please clarify.PNSMurthy (talk) 22:53, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
I was talking about IC 1101. I think the effective diameter of 218,000 Light Years Is just a Radius because it is close to the 212,000 Light Year estimate of the effective radius of IC 1101. They have a difference of just 6,000 Light Years which makes me think that both are related. THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 03:09, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I will edit my list.PNSMurthy (talk) 03:10, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes...you were right. Thank you.PNSMurthy (talk) 03:12, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Oh, Your welcome ! Please don't take my sandbox as an Article. it is So full of my opinions.BTW, It has alot of Images, Right?--THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 04:45, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Indeed, it does. I don't take sandboxes for articles. I respect them for the experimentation they are.PNSMurthy (talk) 01:22, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Should I also edit your list of largest stars? I have Somethings to point out. --THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 05:30, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
I'd suggest not, because that's my opinion, but sure, you can. But I might be undoing your edits if I don't like it.PNSMurthy (talk) 05:40, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, PNSMurthy
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Lithopsian, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, IRC +10414, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Lithopsian}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Lithopsian (talk) 19:18, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Lithopsian:, I was not aware of the fact that the two articles in question, do not in fact, discuss a synonymous object. If this object does indeed fall short of the notability guideline, I have no qualms :)PNSMurthy (talk) 02:04, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- You probably looked already, but Simbad shows an AGB star in Aquila, vs a supergiant in Scutum. If it was notable, it could maybe go in List of stars in Aquila and we could keep the redirect, but I think it probably isn't notable based on the Simbad reference list. Lithopsian (talk) 10:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Well, there you go. Can't PROD a redirect, so it will get discussed in full. Or briefly, redirects tend to rapidly go one way or the other. Lithopsian (talk) 20:16, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Lithopsian: Yeah, okay.PNSMurthy (talk) 01:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Feel free to comment on the deletion. The discussion has been relisted to allow more comments, there is no clear consensus so far. Except nobody really wants to keep it as is. Lithopsian (talk) 13:10, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Lithopsian: Yeah, okay.PNSMurthy (talk) 01:20, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
