Folks - what do we think qualifies as a notable planetarium? We could do oldest in operation, largest etc. Otherwise this seems a bit subjective. There are over 1200 planetaria in the US alone so it would be good to have some criteria agreed ... Hugh Mason 09:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
That's what they're called in the Industry —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.239.199 ( talk) 03:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC) The industry cannot dictate what it's called. It's not a specialized term. It's a common word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.231.181.69 ( talk) 08:25, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
I disagree - the plural should be Planetariums. This can get to be contentious. In Planetarian, style is planetariums. The exception are the groups who use "planetaria" in their names. Slshanks42 ( talk) 02:31, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Can Google_Sky be mentioned as planetarium software ? 91.182.214.13 ( talk) 08:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure what it means to say that the planetarium in Springfield, Mass. was the first "United States-built" planetarium. But the Adler Planetarium in Chicago opened in May 1930, 7 years before the one in Springfield (and was obviously built in the US and funded by and designed by two US citizens).

Regarding this sentence in the opening, "Planetaria range in size from the Hayden Planetarium's 21-meter dome seating 423 people, to three-meter inflatable portable domes where children sit on the floor." Referred to in this way, it makes it sound like the Hayden Planetarium is the worlds largest, which it isn't. 126.6.211.155 ( talk) 02:36, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
The problem with moving projectors to their own page is keeping it up to date. That's the same problem that the page itself is having. Just my opinion. - Sharon Slshanks42 ( talk) 05:22, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Since quite a few people already think planetariums is better (preferred over planetaria in AmE), and the article has a lot of AmE norms already, I think we should agree to use AmE for this article. Quaemenelimbus ( 🗨 here) ^_^ 00:08, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
