Earth trojan asteroid → Earth trojan – Appending "asteroid" is unnecessary. Removing it will also bring this article's title more in line with the other articles on classes of trojans. --JorisvS (talk) 20:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC) JorisvS (talk) 20:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. Yes, 'trojan' is a noun, after all. Rothorpe (talk) 00:45, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Trojan" has other meanings. Keep the word "asteroid" in the name for clarity. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:22, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. You think that any of those can be combined with the name of a planet and still make sense? There is no ambiguity when "asteroid" is left out. --JorisvS (talk) 14:02, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support They are asteroids, but "trojan asteroid" isn't how they are commonly referred to, and there obviously is no ambiguity. &mdash;innotata 16:18, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Support. Earth trojan is the common name, and there is no need to disambiguate it. Andrewa (talk) 06:55, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Removed "update" template for Hayabusa2
I removed the following template from the "Discovery" section:

The template claimed that the information about Hayabusa2's unsuccessful search for trojans at is out of date. That was over a year ago. No information was provided here on the Talk page about was wrong, and nothing has been updated. The statement about Hayabusa2 does seem to be supported by the provided reference.

If you think something is wrong with this information, please write about it here. Then update the article, or restore the template if you are unable to update.StormWillLaugh (talk) 14:10, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Malhoutra2019
Added references to, and data taken from (Whiteley & Tholen, 1998) the Malhoutra 2019 paper on Arxiv justifying further Trojan searches.

The comments upthread about Hayabusa search - might that be a confused reference to OSIRIS/Rex's search while passing L4 en route to Bennu? I'll look for more info.

Could use clarification
Hi! Is an Earth Trojan orbiting sol, or another star? Many thanks! 98.235.166.21 (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
