You learn something new every day! I think its very useful (and relevant, gosh darn it) to have a wiki page for the UW planetarium. Your history section was particularly informative, and I really liked the use of quotes and news articles. It might be worth while to include a section on current outreach at the planetarium. I'm sure there's some articles on it, plus you could always ask Kristen Garofali for some resources. But for a stub, this is pretty much complete. If you wanted to make a full article you would need to add more, of course, but this is already a useful amount of information. Malthorp (talk) 18:00, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Nick, I think your article hold some good information for the length! Some things that might improve it would be to source the Microsoft help, as it might be in their archives. Another idea would be to show alumni that have given presentations before, or sources which advertise it (TJO newsletter, Dawg Prints, the Stranger) Nice work!

Nice! The intro was well put and concise. The history that goes along with it is good too! I would recommend saying that the planetarium was constructed IN the Physics/Astronomy Auditorium instead of WITH. It seems like you are missing a reference in your intro about the six digital projectors. Other than that, this is a nice and short article about our planetarium. It sounds nice and balanced and neutral! Drenniks (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

This page was really nice. Good luck finding more credible sources. That seems tough. And you could also go take a picture of the planetarium since that would be your own property. Cwlind1997 (talk) 18:23, 12 April 2017 (UTC)


 * You might add something about how the planetarium can serve as a model for other university outreach activities as it uses a class for majors to learn how to do planetarium outreach and it practices this learning with grade school students from the area coming in every week for presentations.

You are off to a good start, I like the content that you have! I would suggest adding in a picture of the planetarium as well as talking about the different outreach that happens over the year (i.e what groups of people come to visit, when/how can they request a show).
