 * Betelgeuse - red supergiant - 0.044 arcsec - first star apart from Sun to have apparent diameter measured (in 1920); second largest after R/P Doradus

Should other stars between 500 to be added? If so, I would also update one of the caveats to: «A survey of the Magellanic Clouds has catalogued most of the red supergiants and 75 of them are larger than the (974,000,000 km; 3.3 AU; 605,000,000 mi) cutoff point of this table, with the largest at 1,200–1,300.» Joey P. - THE OFFICIAL 02:23, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

IRC+10420
Upscale IRC+10420 up to 1,342 (beating HR 5171's title as largest known yellow star) because the page says it is one of the largest stars (>500 ). -- Joey P. - THE OFFICIAL (Visit/Talk/Contribs) 04:49, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Please stop sorting by smaller estimate...
