Talk:G-Cloud

Untitled
Also a UK Government programme called G-Cloud. Need disambiguation somehow. --Camayoc (talk) 21:30, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Is the UK government G-cloud currently notable enough for its own article? Cliff12345 (talk) 14:43, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Apex Cloud
Several nearby individual low column density interstellar cloudlets have been identified previously on the basis of kinematical features evident in high-resolution Caþ observations near the Sun. One of these cloudlets, the ‘‘ Apex Cloud ’’ (AC), is within 5 pc of the Sun in the solar apex direction.

Apex cloud was identified toward five stars, Aql, � Oph, � Aql, � Oph, and � Aql, and possibly toward Cyg Star. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FareedBaig (talk • contribs) 11:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

F-Cloud, G-Cloud, H-Cloud?
What is the meaning of the G in G-Cloud? Are there also A-, B-, C-, D-, E-, and F- clouds? And perhaps also H-, I-, J-, K-, etcetera clouds? It would be interesting to read something about the meaning of the name G-Cloud in the article. DannyCaes (talk) 08:03, 12 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Good question. I had to look around but found a citation that I inserted at the beginning of the article: "Galactic (G) cloud or G cloud." Some citations insert the hyphen "G-cloud." Didn't find any other clouds prefixed with a letter Dmcdysan (talk) 20:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Issues with article citations
Researching the meaning of "G" in G-Cloud I didn't find the answer in the existing citations, but instead found it in. Looking at the other citations, I think there are several other issues:

The name "G-Cloud" has a hyphen that states a "G Cloud" (no hyphen). Need to pick one name, and "G Cloud" is used in most articles. Changing "G-cloud" to "G Cloud" would also remove the ambiguity with UK government "G-Cloud"

Citation is a Colorado University website that summarizes activities of speciic researchers and does not appear to be a reliable source. I recommend deletion.

The 2010 Gilster citation, not sure if this is a reliable source, and this particular article is a short summary of presentations by Ian Crawford. '''I recommend deletion. '''(The information on the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC) is in the 2011 Crawford citation).

The NASA website is a dead URL, only the archive exists. I recommend deletion. (The information is contained in other cited reliable sources). This is the only citation that uses "G-Cloud" and hence I suggest that the article name be changed to "G Cloud" as used in all other citations.

The citation is a dead URL. '''I recommend deletion. '''

I will track this article and Talk page to see if anyone has comments in the next month or so. No responses, I will make the above changes.

The article could also be improved by summarizing the additional citations in the article that appear to come from reliable sources. Dmcdysan (talk) 22:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
