The Wikipedia description of the name Arcturus appears to be unique; every other source I checked says that the name came from Greek arktos — bear, and ouros — guard (or tail), meaning guardian of the bear. [1] This alludes to the fact that the tail of Ursa Major points toward this star. The current text needs to be replaced by a statement that can be referenced.

The article says Arcturus is an " old-disk star" but the link leads to an article on "Thick disk" which is a possible galactic structure that has nothing to do with the star itself. Arcturus is not in the so-called Thick Disk. I believe the article is trying to say that Arcturus, which moves perpendicular to the disk of the galaxy, is moving through the galaxy from the so-called Thick Disk region .
