move all. Extraordinary Machine 13:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Irregular Galaxy NGC 55 to NGC 55
 * Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 185 to NGC 185
 * Open Cluster NGC 225 to NGC 225
 * Spiral Galaxy NGC 7320 to NGC 7320
 * 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 NGC #. The destination pages are redirects with more than one item in the history. Chaos syndrome 21:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Survey

 * Add *Support or *Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with  ~


 * Support Per nom, seems like a slam dunk to me. If I want details on what kind it is, I'll read the article. &mdash; MrDolomite | Talk 22:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 February 2020
My request is to change "NGC 55, also occasionally referred to as The Whale Galaxy," into, "NGC 55, also occasionally referred to as The Hope World Galaxy,". Here is a link to the source, It will be greatly appreciated by many if this can be edited. GenSaga (talk) 17:39, 18 February 2020 (UTC) GenSaga GenSaga (talk) 17:39, 18 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. "Name an astronomical feature" scams are not reliable sources, no matter who buys the stupid certificate. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:26, 18 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Strongly oppose: a proper name should be used in a Wikipedia article only if it is in widespread use in the astronomical literature. Buying a certificate from a company claiming to have assigned a name to a galaxy does not give any reason to use that name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TowardsTheLight (talk • contribs) 18:46, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
