Hydrus

 * Nominator(s): Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:52, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

This article got a thorough going-over at GAN by Sasata. Am working my way through constellations and I reckon it is the equal of others that have successfully passed FAC to date. Have at it. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:52, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Comments from Cassianto

Highly agreeable stuff. You have an envious knack of even making the most difficult subjects easy to read. My comments surround the lack of definite article uses which occur frequently throughout.
 * Thanks for the praise - yeah, I'd normally put the definite article but did start to drop it some time ago (was asked?? not sure now....) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:45, 16 December 2013 (UTC)


 * History
 * "Hydrus was one of the twelve constellations established by Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius..." – Definite article for Plancius.

 * Notable features
 * Do we really need to link Earth and Sun?
 * Hmmm, ok delinked earth and sun - what is interesting is the concept of Solar mass, so have linked there instead. Wondered if it was a bit too easter-eggy and whether putting ( Solar mass ) in parentheses was preferable, though flows better as is now I think.....

 * Support per above resolved comments. Other than those, Great stuff as usual!  Cassianto Talk   00:48, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Support and comment Looks good, one comment which won't affect my support  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:20, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It remains below the horizon for most Northern Hemisphere observers&mdash;sounds as if it's lurking with intent, "is" instead of "remains"?
 * Awww, see I like "remains" as most constellations (bar the circumpolar ones) spend time below and above the horizon each day, hence "remains" clarifies that it is there and stays there, which isn't quite captured by "is".... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:37, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, not a big deal  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  15:45, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Source review - spotchecks not done
 * FN10: double-check publisher name, I think it's missing "University"

Support: Issues fixed, so providing support. Thank you. Praemonitus (talk) 06:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is some inconsistency in the citation formats. In particular, the references "Brandão, I. M. et al. (March 2011)" and "Naef, D. et al. (2001)" use abbreviated author lists while other citations do not. Please choose one or the other approach. Could you link 'Moore, Patrick' and remove the duplicate link to 'Kaler, Jim'? Otherwise, the article seems fine. Praemonitus (talk) 03:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * all done now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
