Talk:Rings of Uranus

message: The article really needs to have a section added to it about ring occultation studies and the discovery of the ring system by Eliot, Dunham, and Mink.  I realize that this is in the main "Uranus" article, but it would be good to add it here for completeness.  If I have time soon, I'll copy it over myself.

message: I mean, seriously, the rings of your anus; unfortunately this article is just asking for vandalism. How many childish vandalisms are we gonna get for this featured article?--J. F. Mam J. Jason Dee (talk) 00:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

text: The bathroom humor angle probably deserves a section.  The Boston Globe had an unforgettable headline on the front-page story about the discovery: "Scientists find ring of debris around Uranus".  In TV reporting, Robert MacNeil did very well keeping a straight face while pronouncing the name as Your-ann-us Monomoit (talk) 03:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's spoken correctly, it sounds nothing like 'anus' by itself... but of course it is seldom spoken correctly! --Chasingsoltalk 05:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Spoken correctly? Hmm...the preference for the emphasis on the first sylable and an a as in apple is based on the Latin. Since it is the only plant named from Greek mythology the reference should, surely, be to that language?. I have no idea how they would say it though Dainamo (talk) 23:46, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Putting this on the main page... wow. 

message: What is "exosphere—corona"?  If this is a technical term I would expect use of a hyphen or endash rather than an emdash.  If this is just a sentence construction, it's ungrammatical in "The relative lack of dust in the ring system is due to aerodynamic drag from the extended Uranian exosphere—corona." 24.177.121.141 (talk) 14:45, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

message: So... could somebody link the Greek letters used here (and likely a lot of other places) to the names of the letters? It's been a long time since I knew the entire Greek alphabet. I recognize most of them, but I'm sure there are people who might need help with some. 75.70.238.244 (talk) 00:09, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Should there be a mention of the slang meaning of Rings of Your Anus or should it have its own article? Mwahcysl (talk) 20:01, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have to say neither of those options. --Patteroast (talk) 21:39, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking of which, I'm quite surprised that this article has received such a (comparatively) low level of vandalism. You'd think it'd be a prime target for vandals. Stonemason89 (talk) 17:59, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Slang meaning 

message: I am wondering about the question marks in the List of properties. Those they mean that science as of now does not know the answers, or does it mean that the author of this article has not searched for a source, i.e. that section are still a work in progress? Sincerely, Jopparn (talk) 09:55, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They mean that we don't know. If we ever get a Uranus orbiter we'll be able to fill them in. — kwami (talk) 10:46, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of properties 

message: I'm curious about this. It has been suggested elsewhere on Wikipedia, though strangely there is nothing on the Portia page itself. 8.40.151.110 (talk) 02:08, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: "The ν ring is positioned between Portia and Rosalind and does not contain any moons inside it." Why do you think that Nu ring is connected to Portia? Ruslik_Zero 19:30, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: My bad. Edited that part of the article on "Inner Moons" out. 8.40.151.110 (talk) 20:07, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  New papers on the Rings of Uranus 

message: The same day as Elliot et. al discovered the rings of Uranus, J C Bhattacharya and M K Vainu Bappu observed the rings at the Kavalur Observatory during the occulation of SAO 158687, which acted as a confirmation of the observation. This must be included under the discovery section.
