Under "alternative designations", κ UMi and 12 Ursae Minoris are listed. Surely that's a mistake? 41.223.132.251 ( talk) 15:03, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
The sheer quantity of sources on this page makes me very happy. Manhattia ( talk) 14:34, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Lithopsian - I completely understand why you didn't want Talitha Australis there, but the reason I added it is that there is a redirect from that term to this article, and it needs some kind of mention and explanation. The only mention of Talitha in the article is in a template which redirects to Iota Ursae Majoris. Knowing nothing about astronomy, I wasn't going to attempt looking for sources and working out what's what, but was hoping that somebody knowledgeable would. Either this, or delete the redirect and the mention on the Australis DAB page (where mention is slightly questionable anyway, as it appears that quite a lot of alternative star names seem to have this suffix, for obvious reasons!). Best wishes. Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 10:31, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
I did a bit of a cleanup to the dab page the other day and shuffled those into the See also section. Now that I've examined the history, it seems they were added by a now-blocked editor, so I don't have any compunction about removing them altogether. I'll leave the rest with you! Thanks for the discussion and extra info. Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 10:32, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
