Barred or unbarred?
I don't know too much about galaxies, but this article on barred spiral galaxies states that this galaxy is barred. - Ncoady

The page Barred spiral galaxy says that NGC 4565 is barred, but this page says it's unbarred. Which is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.3.160.252 (talk) 16:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC).


 * I have corrected the issue. NGC 4565 is unbarred (type is SA) per NED. WilliamKF 01:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * NED now lists this galaxy's morphology as "SA(s)b? edge-on". Given the "?" here, I think we should just remove the "unbarred" from the initial sentence, but probably not insert "barred" in its place, as this indicates the galaxy's morphology is still in question.  --76.113.200.14 (talk) 08:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Explanation about the image...
May I ask why it is that the said galaxy appears to be smaller and (obviously) much thinner than the usual disk galaxy? -Pika ten10 (talk) 09:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Distance
How far away is this galaxy? The article says 53 million LY, but other sources say it's about 30 or 31 million LY. http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/messier/Xtra/ngc/n4565.html http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap040409.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.49.221 (talk) 12:30, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Weasel Words
I've removed the 'weasel words warning' the words in question simply explain the uncertainty about the spiral nature of the galaxy based on terrestrial observations before it was confirmed by the Spitzer Space telescope. Stub Mandrel (talk) 21:37, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
