Well, first, a citation has to be more than "I heard it" (see WP:CITE). Secondly, what is the justification for considering this of sufficient notability or significance that it merits a place in an encyclop&aelig;dia? --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 21:48, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. you're quite right. The article has a richly-deserved clean-up template, as it contains much that needs editing or removing; that it hadn't yet been edited or removed doesn't justify adding more of the same.  I've made a start on cleaning it up; all the badly formatted, mainly empty, and trivial stuff about individual calls has gone.  I'll start copy-editing, formatting, and generally cleaning out the rest of the article when I can. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Sanduleak -69º 202
About five years ago, you created a page for Sanduleak -69° 202a. In fixing something else in SN1987A, I noticed this and saw the "a" as an error - all the published references I've seen (most recently, 2009, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v458/n7240/full/nature07934.html, Nature 458, 865-867 (16 April 2009) | doi:10.1038/nature07934 ) refers to the star as -69˚202 without a primary/secondary designator. I can't find any definitive reference to a secondary - and indeed, from lack of evidence of a remnant, we've pretty much excluded a companion. I suspect a typo on the part of Universe Today. Do you have any problem if I rename the article? Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 02:04, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem at all, feel free to do so. Dr. Floyd (talk) 02:10, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
