Talk:Solar eclipse of March 29, 2006

message: I've switched the times from Local to UTC, which I think makes it easier for people to see the photographs as part of a series.
Possibly we should eventually arrange all the images by UTC so that there's some kind of sequence?

message: I was surprized to see that this article was nominated for deletion. It does not seem to violate any of the deletion criteria, and in fact, every eclipse should be described by an article of this kind. I strongly oppose its deletion. Jimzoun 21:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Jimzoun: every article on every subject should be well detailled and included on Wikipedia.  Articles like this will help us achieve the eleventy-billionth article. 208.186.100.202 21:43, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Why did the eclipse start in Brazil (West) and end in Mongolia (East), rather than East to West as the sun does? --sdf  202.161.2.65 04:12, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Q & A 

message: can you tell the difference between an article and news?
: Ok, Wikipedia is not a new source.  But it is a supposed to be a useful repository of past information - and the astronomical calculation that allow people to predict an eclipse is information/research that has existed for years.  Why not present this information in a useful way to users of the encyclopedia?  You seem to be saying that advance notice would be acceptable so long as it was tucked away in an article about future eclipses, but it would be wrong for contributors to make use of the dynamic online format of the encyclopedia in order to highlight this information by putting a useful notice on the front page.  Or in other words, wikipedia should be hobbled by the restrictions of paper based encyclopedias.  Bizarre.
Can somebody please do something about this insulting and unsigned comment? Nick Mks 12:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

message: It isn't clear what that means.  Perhaps a link to, or a box with, explanation of all terms used to describe an eclipse would be useful.  I thought there was an eclipse, or there was not... Midgley 08:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I think that this is currently the only solar eclipse in the humen history, where people around the world gathered in areas where the eclipse was visible as total (Like Turkey) to view the event. This didn't repeated since in the next solar eclipse and also didn't happened in solar eclipses before.
