 * Thanks for your review. Just to let you know that I've switched the QPQ so I can use the four-hook review for a three-hook nomination that I'm making. This shouldn't have any effect on the review. -Zanhe (talk) 00:25, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this. What's the difference between the source saying "synchronous satellite" and you saying "geosynchronous satellite"? Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no difference. "Geosynchronous" is the more scientifically accurate term, but often shortened to "synchronous" for public consumption. See Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, for example. -Zanhe (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
