Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Epsilon Indi into Epsilon Indi Ab. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 04:32, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Broken reference
Greetings, this edit added a broken reference (the DOI doesn't work) and I can't find the actual paper to fix it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:55, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I noticed that on the other article (LP 890-9) and added a URL. I'll fix it on TRAPPIST-1 too. SevenSpheresCelestia (talk) 18:57, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've taken the liberty to significantly rewrite your addition, as there was some more information from that source that can be used & it didn't match the citation format used by the rest of the article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

December 2022
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:SevenSpheres/sandbox a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Gaia BH1. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 18:59, 8 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I also note that the draft that became Kepler-90g was also cut-and-paste moved from the same location. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 19:08, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't work on content in my sandbox and then cut-and-paste it to article space? There shouldn't be any attribution issue since no one other than me edited it. Is there a policy discouraging the use of sandboxes I'm not aware of? SevenSpheres (talk) 00:41, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * SevenSpheres, you are more than welcome to work in your sandbox and then cut-and-paste it into the article space. That is one of the primary purposes of a sandbox. Primefac (talk) 11:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:22, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Fomalhaut b and GDC are two different objects
Hi 7Spheres, RE your to the Fomalhaut (F.) article: &emsp;First of all, I want to thank you for catching my typo in “planetesimal.” D-oh! &emsp;W.r.t. your addition, F.b and the GDC are two different objects. At the Fig.1 on p.3 in (Gaspar et.al. 2023, https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.03789; thanks for bringing in the ref. to the paper, BTW!), the GDC is on the lower two postage stamps, and the non-resolved F.b's location is on the one above them. The paper discusses the GDC in 2.3, and the F.b in 2.4, separately. Also, it's not correct to say that F.b “has dissipated;” it just wasn't resolved with a single F2550W MIRI filter, which is reported to be consistent with the model of a post-collision debris cloud (ibid., p.7, 2.4, 2nd paragraph). &emsp;I'll remove the reference to (Kennedy et.al. 2023) and reword the rest, since the paper is unrelated to the F.b object, and the GDC isn't even mentioned in the current article. You're more than welcome to add it, indeed! The reference will still be available to copy from the permalinked diff, should you ever need it to resurrect. — Goudron (talk) 05:30, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Actually, I kept the Kennedy... reference and added a paragraph about the GDC. — Goudron (talk) 07:28, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to imply that they're the same object (my text said a different "great dust cloud"), but thanks for your further edits! SevenSpheres (talk) 17:49, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Stellar contamination
I notice a lot of discussion about stellar contamination as a topic in the exoplanet articles, but no existing redirect to the main subject which discusses it. Any chance you can help with this? Viriditas (talk) 23:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * In the TRAPPIST-1b article, this is referring to phenomena on the star TRAPPIST-1 (such as starspots) which affect the planet's spectrum. There's an article Solar phenomena which discusses such phenomena on the Sun, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding article about phenomena on other stars. There are some more specific articles like Starspot and Stellar magnetic field, but they don't say much about effects on exoplanet detection and characterization. Probably a new article on this topic should be created at Stellar phenomena or Stellar activity. SevenSpheres (talk) 00:47, 30 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I've noticed that there's a lot of missing articles and topics (and redirects) in this field. Viriditas (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

HD 100546 b
Hello, I believe that HD 100546 b should be split into a new article because it is listed as one of the largest planets and is rather notable in my opinion. Also, its mass is up for debate, and I believe it is a source of interest. Could you consider it as an option? Thank you! 2003 LN6 (talk) 17:35, 30 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't agree that a separate article is needed, but you can start a discussion on the talk page. I removed the template because there was no discussion. SevenSpheres (talk) 17:40, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
