Comments - as noted on my talk page, I am in no way an expert here, so I'm just adding novice comments, many of which I'm sure will be of little use!

 * "a bright star" - is that a technical term?

 * Happy with leaving "bright" out. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm curious as to how the lead says it's a "star" and then that it's a "star system of at least four stars"
 * This still seems to be unresolved. I admit it's probably not a problem for those in the know, but to me it still strikes odd that there's an overt discrepancy from one para to the next... The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Right as an update I have tried this, where I have put all properties together. It reads a bit oddly but has all facts together starting with definition - which is applied to both the system and its brightest member and clarifying from the get-go that it is a single point of light to the naked eye. How does that read? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:13, 30 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "400 times fainter " I would always see this from the other way, i.e. 1/400 as bright.
 * I don't have a strong opinion on this "400 times fainter" runs off the tongue more easily for me, but I tried this. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:17, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

 * " 3 to 4 times as" three-to-four times as...

 * You link "naked eye" but not light year (nor parsec which is what I assume pc means?)


 * You use " for arc second on its first use and "arc minute" on its first use. I'd use "arc second" the first time too, it may be mine eyes, but I can hardly see that symbol nor that it's a wikilink.


 * "β Orionis " etc is non italics in the lead and italics in the text, any reason for the difference in format?
 * There was only one instance of this being italicised. I removed it. I note that some star articles are inconsistent on this (e.g. Betelgeuse). Attic Salt (talk) 17:41, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * You could link "designated by Bayer" as it appears before "Bayer designation" yet mean the same thing.


 * "literature,[29][15][12] " not essential but I rarely (if ever) see good/featured material whose refs are out of numerical order.


 * "9 PM" normally a non-breaking space and either pm or p.m.
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:07, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * northern and southern hemispheres are normally capitalised.


 * " area within 8° of" latitude could be explicitly stated?"
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:34, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "Hipparcos" should be in italics as the name of a vessel.
 * I did this for the mention of the satellite, but not for other mentions which are more a reference to the data from the satellite. Attic Salt (talk) 17:21, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * " 2007 Hipparcos reduction" overlinked. And italics again if you agree.
 * I removed a redundant link. Attic Salt (talk) 17:23, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "5°–long" why an en-dash when a hyphen typically works here?
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs)


 * " angle of 1°[8] " missing a full stop?
 * Done. Attic Salt (talk) 21:01, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "A spectroscopic companion.." I tend to try to avoid single sentence paragraphs.
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:10, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:10, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "Hertzsprung–Russell diagram.[68][5]" ref order again.


 * "Hertzsprung-Russell diagram" should be an en-dash. And I imagine "top center" should be hyphenated.
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:21, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * "e Alfonsine Tables of" our article doesn't capitalise table and has the whole term in italics (for some reason).
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:21, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * No need to relink Orion or link Australia.


 * Nor a capitalised Kangaroo.


 * "Two US Navy ships have borne ..." no ref?
 * I added cites to sources for this. Attic Salt (talk) 17:33, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Why isn't SSM-N-6 Rigel actually SSM-N-6 Rigel per normal boat name convention?
 * This is the name of missile, not a boat, and the wikipage on that missile does not use italics. Attic Salt (talk) 17:34, 23 March 2020 (UTC)


 * " elevation 1,910 m" convert.
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:48, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Be consistent with formats for accessdate and publication date.
 * Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:02, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Check refs for completeness, e.g. ref 37 doesn't have any publisher/work information.
 * , Though this source [37] might be reliable, it would be good to have a more typical journal or book source.

That's my inane ramblings for a first pass. Hope some help. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:37, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

 * My pleasure. I'm trying to fit in as much diverse reviewing as I can while I'm in lockdown and in between homeschooling and looking for toilet paper.  I'll take another pass later if I can.  The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 10:37, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Hello, apologies for the delay, I'm back at this later, it's top of my priority list. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 09:14, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Further comments okay, sorry for the delay once again, I got selfish and started doing my own articles!!
 * Duplicate links, there are several. Either use the duplicate links tool or I can list them out.
 * got most of them. others need some fiddlig with some templates. Too tired now. Will get onto it later Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:20, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Lithopsian (talk) 14:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * General question: while this is an astronomical article, do we still need to consider conversion to Imperial units where applicable, e.g. 10 km/s into miles/sec?
 * Generally no, unless a terrestrial measure Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:20, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * 0.124" vs 0.1″, consistent format (i.e. curly or not) for the arc munutes.
 * Lithopsian (talk) 13:45, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Other comments inline above. Close now. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:11, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
