Talk:Canes Venatici cloud

Cleanup/Expert Attention
The body text of this article, specifically the section where it explains the attached table, does not match the table. The body references columns that don't exist. I've traced this back to, where the table was revised to look better, while also losing some information in the process. The columns ""B magnitude of brightest member"" and ""Number"" did not make it to the new revision. Also, ""Brightest Member"" was renamed to ""Main Member"", which sounds more subjective, unless it's astronomical jargon I'm unaware of.

I would add the lost columns, except for my status as an amateur astronomer. I don't know which version of the article is better. It could be the lost columns were removed because the information in them was genuinely useless or misleading. I do know, however, that the article, as it is, seems to be split in half, with the older body text being out of sync with the newer table. Alex Dodge 11:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * These galaxy group and clusters topics in Wikipedia are a mess. This and several other articles have cited an antiquated reference.  A few other articles cite the SEDS website, which frequently fails to cite its references on galaxy groups and is therefore unreliable.  I am currently working to partially clean up the articles (although the work is going slowly).  Additional expertise would be appreciated. GeorgeJBendo 15:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Major article issue
I did a little bit of research on the "Canes Venatici Cloud". This article seems to be written using the term in the context it is given in a 1982 paper by Brent Tully. As far as I can tell, only Tully's works and a few amateur websites that copy his 1982 paper use "Canes Venatici Cloud" in this sense. However, it appears that astronomers are more likely to use the term "Canes Venatici Cloud" to refer to the Canes Venatici I Group (currently called the M94 Group on Wikipedia), as revealed by searches on the ADS Abstract Service, the SIMBAD Astronomical Database, and the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database. I recommend that Wikipedia makes "Canes Venatici Cloud" a redirect to the M94 Group page, although I would like to note that this is ultimately an obscure term.

 * Based on my above statements, I have turned this page into a redirect. Please contact me if you really want to change it back (although I urge you to do searches on the name in the links above first).  GeorgeJBendo 13:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Defn
The defn given by Dr. Bendo/Submm conflicts with what is written on Virgo Supercluster, also edited by Dr. Bendo/Submm... so, probably an oversight, but confusing result. 70.51.8.60 (talk) 06:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
