 * The above statement is correct. The official discovery was made on 25 September 1987 (5171), not on 8 September 1988 as shown in the JPL SBDB . The MPC originally named the wrong asteroid which was discovered on that date and the JPL SBDB has never been updated with the correction. Everything is now resolved and explained in the article (see ).  R fassbind  – talk  13:39, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
