I fail to understand why the same reader who inserted this tag did not tag elliptic integral for example. This article does not go beyond school-level physics. Many articles on wikipedia are, quite rightly, technical. Otherwise nothing to learn, no reason to visit.
What do agree with is that many background articles on planetary science are missing and the existing ones often do not cover the subject from the perspective of the small bodies. I believe this is not a reason to degrade the technical articles (thousands of popular science sites exist already) but a reason to (re-)write a few background articles.

well, consider this. "(55636) 2002 TX300 is a large Haumeid discovered in October 15, 2002 by the NEAT program. A Classical Kuiper Belt object with the absolute magnitude between that of (50000) Quaoar and (20000) Varuna, 2002 TX300 has the most eccentric and inclined orbit of the three." that's the first two paragraphs. Here's some lay questions those two paragraphs don't answer:
yes probably 'elliptic integral' should be more simply explained too. ok lets see if I can make an intro paragraph. After looking up haumeid.
there. just one sentence really. On to Elliptic Integral. OsamaBinLogin ( talk) 23:23, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The size given in the text is different from the size given in the sidebar. Furthurmore, the 857 km figure comes from assuming an albedo of 0.09. Assuming albedos does not really give good results, so I think that the 857 should be replaced with a size range. JamesFox 22:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I changed the diameter to a range of 530 - 709. I set the lower range to 530km for absolute magnitude (H) 3.5 and albedo 0.25. Looking at this plot, most TNOs under 1000km appear to have albedos lower than 0.25. -- Kheider 17:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I've adjusted the abs mag from 3.3 to 3.09 and gave an estimated lower limit of 470km (assuming an albedo close to 0.50). For such as small object an albedo of 0.8 seems very uncommon. -- Kheider ( talk) 07:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
That the top header declaration is that the article's name is Downsize, is it intentional (and a template has since been changed) or some other weird cause? Could someone with expertise explain? MURGH disc. 22:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The statement about small light-curve-amplitude variations doesn't say that is a dwarf planet, but that this suggests it could be a spheroiddwarf planet. Since we don't know when icy bodies become spherical, only that this is expected to happen somewhere between 200–400 km, how is this statement dubious, even taking the stellar-occultation result of 286 km? --

Does anyone have a reliable reference that editors on Wikipedia take TX300 to be a serious dwarf planet candidate? -- Kheider ( talk) 19:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

This object was discovered over 20 years ago. Shouldn't the article mention why it hasn't been named yet? Pascalulu88 ( talk) 22:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
