Talk:Mare Tranquillitatis

Bays of Mare Tranquillitatis
Since they are essentially appendages to this maria, I added in the four attached bays on this page rather than making them separate pages. &mdash; RJH 15:01, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Spelling
Should it be referred to as "Sea of Tranquility" or "Sea of Tranquillity"? The former is used in the article, while on the Main Page&mdash;whence I came to this article&mdash;I encountered the latter. Merriam-Webster Online lists "tranquillity" as its main entry and "tranquility" as a variant. Google Fight shows a pretty even match between the two. --timc | Talk 16:27, 20 July 2005 (UTC)


 * The single 'l' is an Americanism (according to Chambers). All the other '-ility' nouns (that I can think of) come from adjectives ending in '-le' (usually '-ble' or '-ile'). Most Americans shorten the pronunciation of '-ile' words (so, for instance, the film title Hostel would be seen as a pun). Hence, 'tranquil' is lumped in with 'hostile' etc., and thus 'tranquillity' is lumped in with 'hostility' etc. – and the double 'l' is overlooked. Grant 11:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Diagram?
Would it not be extremely informative for the average reader to include a diagram of where exactly the Sea of Tranquility is on the moon from an earth view? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.192.112.144  (talk • contribs)  ) 23:06, August 9, 2008‎ (UTC)

Quick Update to "In the Arts" Section
I quickly updated this section with Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the 2018 album and single from Arctic Monkeys. The name is an obvious reference to the Sea of Tranquility. AMCG16 (talk) 19:29, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Labelled Map points to wrong mare for Sea of Islands
The article uses a graphic that appears on many WP pages, Lunar nearside with major maria and craters labelled. However, the Mare Insularum lies in the dark area between the bright craters Copernicus and Kepler. If an editor has access to the original so that single blue line could be redrawn, instead of someone recreating the entire image, that'd be great.

 * This an easy fix for editors at WP:GL/I and c:COM:GL/ILL. Please explain the problem to either of the two workshops I linked to and cite your source, and someone will fix it. Easy peasy! Don't worry about how it should be done. Just tell them what you need changed and why. --- Coffee  and crumbs  06:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! I've requested the fix here. Bob Enyart, Denver KGOV radio host (talk) 01:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
