I have changed the name of Hercules from Herakles to Heracles, since Herakles was linking to a computer programme that plays othello. Hope no one minds :) - Lamuk
Can you please add those known distances to blanks to those starrows and distance column to every constellation with a table even half or most of all Flamsteed stars and are stars that are not very prominent.

1. Well written?:
2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:
3. Broad in coverage?:
4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
5. Reasonably stable?
6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
Overall, a GA pass - and well on target for a crack at FAC.

One problem is that the mythological and historical content are jumbled together with the scientific facts, so that the reader looking for astronomical information (i.e. probabably the vast majority) have to plough through too much stuff to find the pertinent info. It would be better to have all the scientific facts at the beginning, and then a separate section for ancient mythology nearer to the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.8.190 ( talk) 04:39, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Iota Aurigae The traditional name Kabdhilinan, sometimes shortened to "Alkab", comes from the Arabic phrase al-kab dh'il inan, meaning "shoulder of the rein holder". The entry for Iota Aurigae is different: Iota Aurigae ... has the traditional name Al Kab, short for Kabdhilinan, from the Arabic "the ankle of the rein holder (charioteer)". There's quite a difference between the shoulder and the ankle! The Arabic representations aren't the same, either. 121.44.200.241 ( talk) 05:49, 17 August 2013 (UTC)Consistency, please

I can't find any footnotes link to four references below, why they're here?
