Article submission for STFC prize
Directed at anyone who has contributed to this article and/or has it on their watchlist: The Science & Technology Facilities Council is currently holding a journalism prize whereby an individual can win a trip to the European Southern Observatory in Chile. I would like to enter the competition, and was considering expanding this article even further and submitting it as mostly my own work. This obviously isn't the case and I would never consider any article on Wikipedia entirely my work, however I have recently expanded this article and plan to expand it even further to a full article in the coming week, following which I would consider the majority of the editing here to be my own work.

The rules of the prize state that "The entrant will normally be the prime author of the entry. If not... any other contributors or collaborators must consent to the submission of the entry by one individual."

I would like to request that, following further expansion by myself, and assuming that no other editors contribute largely to the article, that I be allowed to submit this article as majorly my own work. If anyone objects then that is fine and I will not pursue entry for the prize using this article. Thanks. Samwalton9 (talk) 13:58, 24 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmm, hmm, hmm... actually the first and second paragraphs are largely "mine", User:Fukumoto's and User:Tmlawlor's (donated from us to the Wikipedia and the world wide community of Creative Commons-share-alike). You could of course claim that you are the "prime author", if perhaps the Science &amp; Technology Facilities Council accepts such a statement. I have no wish to go to ESO in Chile, so I will spiritually support your candidature. But please keep the article encyclopedic according to the policies. Rursus dixit.

 * Agreed, I may have worded it badly but I didn't mean to claim ownership or imply that anything not written by myself was. I will of course keep the article encyclopedic, I have been meaning to carry on writing it for a while and this is more an incentive to do so than anything. Thanks for your support.

 * I'd also like to add that it is not my intention to dissuade anyone from editing this article. If you wish to edit the article, please do so as you otherwise would have. I am more than happy to not use this article as my submission if it means other editors contribute towards writing it. I can always write something else but this article will obviously be a much better article if it is collaborative. Samwalton9 (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Just remembered about this; worth noting that I did not apply for the contest in the end. Sam Walton (talk) 19:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Reassessment to C class
I believe this article is well referenced with multiple inline sources that it can become a C class article.—azuki (talk · contribs · email) 04:32, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Lead Section
UY Scuti, Eat me, I'm an azuki - I'm going to start by fixing the lead section of the article and go from there.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:39, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Great .. I'm taking the infobox. Regards— UY Scuti Talk  04:45, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Still working on it. Things picked up at work in the off-wiki life ;-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   01:03, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * UY Scuti, Eat me, I'm an azuki - I've gone through the lead section in a few waves and fixed it up. There is potentially more information that could be added, and the summary could use an improvement - however, I will wait until the article is expanded to its fullest ability before I do so. A good summary - one that proficiently paraphrases the article in its entirety - is completed as a last step.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   03:39, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Next Steps
UY Scuti, Eat me, I'm an azuki - Can we plot out together exactly what still needs to be done on the article and take them as tasks? This will delegate and organize tasks and make sure that we're not accidentally doubling-up on tasks and leaving others without progress. Once we complete a list of tasks, we should swap them with one another so that a second pair of eyes can verify and correct any mistakes or anything that was missed the first time. Is that cool? :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   03:42, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll do copyediting.—azuki (talk · contribs · email) 03:44, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Significance in astronomical research
This section is full of WP:WTW issues and WP:NPOV implications that clearly do not meet the good article standards. I'm going through the section and fixing it now.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:05, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Update: Made a first round and fixed (what I believe) are most of the issues.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:27, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
