Talk:August 2008 lunar eclipse

Keep It is a small article but a valid scientific moment. Also if it is possible to further explain what a patial lunar eclipses is and maybe list some previous ones. that would help to prevent a controversy over deletion.--Sbkbg (talk) 01:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion What is the point in having a different page for every total or partial lunar eclipse? I think we'd be better off having a list of full ones and a list of partial ones (unless there are particularly notable ones) and a Wiki page to describe each. Please redirect me if this argument goes on elsewhere, but it's a valid point for the deletion of this very short, uninformative, and unnecessary article.

Template database test
I replaced the stat table with a template version, a first test of a generalize database for lunar eclipses. SockPuppetForTomruen (talk) 23:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Photos and table update
I added a photo gallery section for after the event.

The infotable has two forms (1) past event, (2) future event, change first line: edit article
 * FROM future: { {Lunarsaros138_db|PLunarEclipse2 stat table|200808}}
 * TO past event: { {Lunarsaros138_db|PLunarEclipse stat table|200808}}
 * The past event table includes a photo, can be set in: edit database
 * Add photo image name: |200808-capphoto=
 * Add photo caption text: '|200808-imphoto=...|
