Talk:55 Cancri e

Keep up the good work. These articles are ideal "good articles". They can't be FA, because there is no way for them to get long enough, but they are as comprehensive and complete as possible, and represent a good effort on the part of the editors. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about my rationale. Phidauex 18:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: This is a [[WP:GA|Good Article]]

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Planets and Moons" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 09:54, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: A new paper has been released by a team of astronomers who have observed the planet transiting its star (contrary to a statement currently in this article claiming that it does not transit) and as such have unearthed more physical characteristics about the planet, including the fact that it is the most dense planet ever found, its radius and actual mass. These need to be included here.

replies: text: Interestingly, the first paper above has now significantly downgraded the planet's mass, to about 5.9 g/cm3, close to the second group's value. (See the arxiv link posted above, which now has the updated version).--Roentgenium111 (talk) 21:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needed update 

message: Don't get too carried away with the recent media hype that this has been discovered to be a carbon planet. The relevant paper  merely demonstrates that the radius is compatible with this object being a carbon planet. While there are certainly some interesting indications from the stellar chemical abundances that may make the carbon planet hypothesis more compelling, at the current time the data are still compatible with the waterworld hypothesis. The paper itself notes that further observations are required to determine the actual nature of the planet. 46.126.76.193 (talk) 19:17, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, but its notable that this possibility is being talked about in media, and may be many peoples first introduction to "diamond planets", so some mention in context is ok.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:04, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Seconded, or third-ed. Not worth getting into a massive edit war about this fluff. At least, not worth it for me.--Zimriel (talk) 17:05, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

message: (*this had an Out of date tag, July 2011 - and it's only more out of date now. I am moving this here until the nature of this planet is better constrained. --Zimriel (talk) 17:46, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The lead says one thing (7.8), the rest of the article, infobox and other articles say something different (8.63). Which is the real figure and which is the genuine source.--EvenGreenerFish (talk) 08:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: I have reverted the restoration of the artist's impression :File:55_Cancri_e.png to the article. There are several reasons why I do not think this artist's impression should be included. Firstly, it is not from a reliable source, which violates WP:ASTROART. Secondly, it does not depict any known features of 55 Cancri e besides its sphericity. It does however, depict many features that are not known. There is no evidence whatsoever, nor even any published speculation, that 55 Cancri e has continents, oceans, or clouds, and yet the impression depicts all of those features. Because it depicts no known features, the artist's impression has no encyclopedic value. Because it depicts many features that are not known or even speculated about, it has a high potential to mislead readers. As a result, it adds no value to the article (indeed, I think it detracts from it), and I can see no reason to keep it. A2soup (talk) 20:16, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Artist's impressions 

message: The second picture does not seem to show the same planet as that depicted in the picture that heads the article. The planet a much father away from its parent star. Has this second picture been mislabelled and is actually meant to represent one of the other planets in the system? 86.138.120.101 (talk) 14:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
