Removal of uncommon/unaccepted names
First, I would like to thank the person who wrote this page for adding it to Wikipedia. However, I would like to ask that future changes to the article only use commonly-accepted nicknames for these objects. Some of these nicknames are clearly invented. (At least one nickname that was previously in this article, "Surfboard Galaxy", was invented by a user now banned from Wikipedia partly for promoting his new names for astronomical objects. Several of us are still trying to undo his damage to Wikipedia.)  Please check the SIMBAD or NED to see if they list the nicknames that are being used here. Thank you, GeorgeJBendo 08:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Distances to objects
The following was added by another user to the main page as a block of text. It would appear that the figures should be incorporated into the main table. I haven't done it myself, because I am no expert, and don't know whether the figures are correct. Would someone more expert than I am be prepared to verify and include them? Thanks. talkGiler 17:38, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

The following objects have distances wrong even based on their own pages in wikipedia:

NGC 3184. 40000 (thousand light years) NGC 4526. 52000 NGC 4594. 28000 NGC 7662. 5.6

The following objects don't have any distance showed in the table:

NGC 4111  60000 (thousand light years) NGC 4490  45000 NGC 4274. 44000 NGC 4361. 2.5 NGC 5866  23000 NGC 1084. 63000 NGC 1407. 85000 NGC 2903. 30000 NGC 6356. 50 NGC 1023. 36000 NGC 3166. 72000 NGC 3169. 72000 NGC 3877. 55000 NGC 3938. 55000 NGC 4036. 70000 NGC 4041. 70000 NGC 4088. 55000 NGC 4085. 55000 NGC 5473. 90000 NGC 4179. 55000 NGC 4596. 52000 NGC 5634. 82 NGC 5746. 85000

NGC 4039 = Caldwell 61
This object is listed under "Herschel 400 objects which are also Caldwell objects", however it is NOT a Herschel 400 object. (It is part of the Herschel-2 list.) Pekoebrew (talk) 01:25, 16 August 2017 (UTC) I will go ahead and remove NGC 4039 from as noted. Pekoebrew (talk) 10:34, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
