Your edit was reverted
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Proxima Centauri, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.

You give the rotation period of Proxima Centuari (although it is slightly faster 82.6 +/0.1 days see http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016arXiv160807834C)

You give the radius.

The rotational velocity calculation is a simple one.

It is less than 0.09 km/s
 * First, you're assume that the rotation period is correct rather than the v sin i. Second, you need to back it up with a citation, per WP:NOR. We're not here to do original research; only to report the results.
 * Rather than reverting, take your issue to the article talk page, where it can be discussed and resolved. Praemonitus (talk) 18:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I gave a citation. I have just had a paper approved for publication with that in. Please stop being ridiculous and restore it to a sensible value. Toadwarble (talk) 18:51, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Proxima Centauri, you may be blocked from editing.

I deny disruptive editing. The entry was incorrect and I have corrected it.
 * Unfortunately the Wikipedia process doesn't quite work that way. Please see WP:5P2: "Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong". Please see the documentation linked above for more information. Praemonitus (talk) 19:24, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I have put in a value I am absolutely sure is correct. I have put in a reference to a paper which has been approved for publication with this value in. It refers to other papers with this value in. The paper was specifically about Proxima Centauri. The paper you mention isn't. Surely you want it to give a correct value which you can also obtain by arithmetic.
 * I'll be happy to use your paper, as soon as it becomes available. For now, it is best to leave it as is. There's no hurry to get this changed, is there? Praemonitus (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

It's available now - I gave you the reference - here it is again - http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016arXiv160807834C
 * Thank you. I will add the reference accordingly. Praemonitus (talk) 19:37, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps you might want to correct the rotation period to 82.6 +/- 0.1 days in line with that paper and those by Benedict, Kiraga etc.


 * Thanks, I'll take a look. Praemonitus (talk) 19:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
