 * Most of these go against the typical Wikipedia convention to disambiguate articles by using parentheses after the article name, and discussion on WikiProject Astronomical objects has come to the view that the format should be Messier #. Many of the destination pages are redirects with more than one item in the history. Chaos syndrome 20:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Confusing lead section
The lead section is confusing, because it gives two different estimates for the number of stars. It says "There are about 40 member stars within M103...", but two sentences further, it calls Messier 103 a "172-star cluster". While estimates for the correct number do vary, as mentioned in the article further down, the lead should give exactly one figure. Renerpho (talk) 00:55, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Age
Looking through the peer reviewed literature the age of the cluster seems to be somewhere between 16-22 million years. Using info from one of the more recent papers I'll change the age from 25 million years to 22 million years. Jjnishiyama (talk) 21:05, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Plagiarised Text
Much of the text in this document has been plagiarised from the website by Thompson some of this is paraphrased, but there is also a lot that is taken word for word. This was done by TitanOne on 13 April 2011. This article needs to be revised with new references, and also re-written to have viewpoints that much broader in scope.
