The article currently says 'Given its excellent optical qualities... ...it regularly outperforms much larger telescopes located elsewhere'. This is quite a sweeping statement, in fact it doesn't have a source at present so it's currently just an assertion. It also doesn't say what telescopes it is being compared with. Much older ones perhaps?
Generally large telescopes are expensive so it isn't as if designers of other large telescopes don't also aim for 'excellent optical qualities'. A source to back up the assertion of 'outperformance' is needed, and very preferably one that explains why this telescope achieves such excellent optical qualities where others have presumably not been able to rise to these heights of optical perfection.
I'm not just being cynical. Maybe this telescope doesn't have to make compromises that others do for some reason, or maybe it was the first to hit on an excellent design which is now being copied at a larger scale. But this would all require explanation and a source, that are not currently present in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.37.175 ( talk) 19:21, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Since this article is relatively short, and the telescope itself is part of the Mount Graham International Observatory, it should be merged in as a section of the MGIO article rather than keeping it independent. that would allow faster, nore efficient access to complete information about the MGIO.

Why should this article have {{ Infobox settlement}}? It's not a city/town/village/hamlet. {{ Infobox Telescope}} is probably the ideal on. -- User:Docu
Shouldn't it be removed? There should be a disambiguation page, so it seems unnecessary, no? 62.57.50.138 ( talk) 09:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, half the staff of the Vatican Observatory does live within the Vatican City State, so it's not completely unreasonable... Jonathan Stott 15:09, 15 May 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjstott ( talk • contribs)
