Talk:Cassiopeia (constellation)

message: Should there be a link to "Cassiopeia A" from this page - there is a reverse link from that page, but I could not find this supernova remnant mentioned on this page?

thread_title:  Cass A 

message: Cassiopeia stands for the female "Hanged Man" and also the Seated Empress/goddess in the Valley/Throne/Chalice, who is more beautiful than the others. Of course this has been ridiculed by the patriarchy, just as so many other strong female arcehtypes.
Cassiopeia rules - and she was not vain but sure of her worth (which was considered a threat to the male ego!)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.230.147.196 (talk) 08:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cassiopeia = The Empress 

message: From the article "Cassiopeia A is approximately 300 years old"? Should this be corrected?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.111.116.86 (talk) 09:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: An IP had changed this to "300 million years", which is plainly wrong. "300 years" is approximately correct but only in the sense of disregarding the time light took to travel from it. I tried to clarify this. 85.226.206.229 (talk) 09:01, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Do we need any of the Popular Culture section? I am tempted to delete it, but thought I'd ask for opinions first. Skeptic2 (talk) 08:55, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I too do not see the necessity of this section - most of it appears to be non-notable. AstroLynx (talk) 12:51, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Necessary - no. Interesting - I think so. I vote: leave it in. --BjKa (talk) 13:16, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Someone needs to change the formatting on the page 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Cassiopeia (constellation)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "an331_4_349":
From Alpha Cygni variable: 
From AO Cassiopeiae: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:52, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Sidney Hall - Urania's Mirror - Cassiopeia (image right side up).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on April 19, 2017. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2017-04-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[:File:Sidney Hall - Urania's Mirror - Cassiopeia (image right side up).jpg]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: This sentence in the second paragraph is very oddly worded:
"...Schedar, is generally the brightest star in Cassiopeia, though is often shaded by Gamma Cassiopeiae,..."
What is meant here by "shaded"? Is that supposed to be "overshadowed"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdconod (talk • contribs) 05:03, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a colloquialism, meaning "edged", "slightly beaten", etc.  γ Cas is variable.  Should be reworded.  Lithopsian (talk) 18:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alpha Cassiopeiae 

message: It would be worth adding to the namesakes section, the Japanese Jazz fusion band "Casiopea", a highly influential group in the 1980's Jazz music scene. While the spelling is different, this can easily be attributed to the fact that it is a transliteration of the Japanese katakana for the constellation "カシオぺヤ" (ka-shi-o-pe-a) 2601:193:8200:4F40:9000:BE86:113C:1405 (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
