List of selected stars for navigation

 * Nominator(s): Haus Talk 13:29, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

A previous version of this list received some support as a FLC in May 2008. Some ideas came up during the candidacy and have been implemented. The list has recently been peer-reviewed. Cheers. Haus Talk 13:29, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Comments: Is there a reason or purpose for the blank row in the large list? Also, the many uses of "Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center (CDS)" in the References section seems redundant--consider using just "CDS" for subsequent uses. Also, I believe "–" is the proper dash for displaying a page range (see Citations section). -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback. I think I've addressed your points:
 * Changed "&mdash;" to "–" for page ranges after double-checking WP:DASH.
 * Changed "Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center (CDS)" to CDS 56 times.
 * Regarding the blank row, I see two options. Either remove it and disable sorting by declination or leave it as it is.  If anyone sees another way around this, I'm all ears. I think it was resolved by adding style="display:none;" to the row's formatting.  Haus Talk 10:44, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Support I have a couple of personal outstanding niggles, but nothing so serious as to stop me supporting. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:02, 6 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Support – The issues I raised have all been addressed. --RexxS (talk) 21:30, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Question could a Google Sky image be used in this article? A casual reader will have a really hard time reading any of the maps provided here, but if something more realistic is used, like a view from GS, it would be much more easier. Nergaal (talk) 09:30, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * If possible I think this is a really nice idea... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Google Sky is out, as they compile data from NASA (which is free) and the ESA (which can only be used under fair-use) without differentiating what comes from where. You won't be able to justify anything fair-use here, since the free images are adequate. (They are also actual navigational charts, which is sort of the point...) Courcelles 02:47, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Static photographs of these areas would be much, much more cluttered and hard to make any sense of than the charts. They would show 6,000-ish bodies instead of 58-ish.  On the other hand, I suggested long ago adding external links for individual stars to an interactive system like wikisky or google sky so that the reader could explore the area of a star.  I never followed up on this because I was sure it would cause a WP:NOTDIR WP:ELPOINTS ruckus.  If consensus could be attained here to add a column for google sky links, I'd enthusiastically add it.  Cheers.  Haus Talk 14:45, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Item #3 of WP:ELYES might support adding links to google sky entries for each star. Cheers.  Haus Talk 01:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
