 * Support—I see that it's been cleaned up a bit from the comments above, but my first thought was "who did this page"? Excellent work; hope to see more of you here! Tony   (talk)  03:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Support from. Excellent work. Just a few comments: Great work overall. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * "Only 8 of Jupiter's moons are regular satellites, with prograde and nearly circular orbits that are not greatly inclined with respect to Jupiter's equatorial plane." I find "only" a bit POV.
 * "Both physical and orbital characteristics of the moons vary widely." How about: "The moons' physical and orbital characteristics vary widely."
 * "The practice was that newly discovered moons of Jupiter to be named after lovers and favorites of the mythological Jupiter (Zeus), and since 2004, also after their descendants." Missing a word, I think.
 * "This is currently the most of any planet in the Solar System, but additional tiny, undiscovered moons may exist." Per MOSNUM, "currently" is not preferred. Use "as of so-and-so year..."
 * Thanks for catching these awkwardnesses. I assume the only was used as a introductory word because of number, but numbers below 10 are to be spelled anyways. The others should sound better also. Nergaal (talk) 03:20, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
