Claim of nearest "long-known" star
Clearly not the nearest long-known star (eg. Alpha Centauri), so just what is meant by the statement "the nearest long-known star (having a greek letter prefix)"? The reference given states nothing along these lines. Lithopsian (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ==Local context and position in the constellation==

Was my header. Clearly the word you imply by the is 'our' rather than 'its' [nearest]... You have zero ability to read things in the context of a header or to give credit for a new header. And zero ability to escape a geocentric worldview that is so entrenched as to be derisory.- Adam37 Talk  10:14, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Suit yourself. You could have discussed what you wanted to express in the article and why it was notable, but instead just chose to insult me.  Good going, moves WP forward nicely.  Lithopsian (talk) 16:40, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

"Figuring between Sigma Centauri and the Xi Centauri mutually distant, but optically close, pair of stars (1 and 2), Gamma is gravitationally in no way immediately bound to those much more distant stars in our galaxy." I can almost begin to guess what this is intended to say. Is it relevant? Does it need citing? Can it be written in a way that is understandable by anyone except the author?

 * Rather than assuming you have the answers/keys to everything, perhaps you can see I'm just explaining the asterism diagram for those who might not be able to read it. If that's inappropriate then say so and stop moaning it's a) unconventional and b) actually unncessary in wikipedia (much worst by feigning I'm not using the same language you do; that's very insulting in engaging with anyone).  Be more direct and explain you don't think it's relevant.- Adam37  Talk  10:30, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
