Talk:511 Davida

message: Is the demonym "Davidan" or "Davidian"?  E.g. for Europa, it is "Europan," not "European." Nicole Sharp (talk) 07:30, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Not finding "Davidan" in any dictionary. "Davidian" and "Davidic" seem to be the established adj forms of "David". — kwami (talk) 20:55, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  demonym 

message: The article states Davida is the 6th largest (by mass), but the mass given in the physical characteristics box would place it significantly farther down the list. The given mass is also significantly different from that given on the "list of solar system objects by mass" page, which has it in what would be (counting only asteroids) 7th place with a mass of 3.6, versus 1.3 here.

text: David Tanguay, you are quite right that the "nth most massive" claims commit false precision.  I've softened the claim without entirely removing it.  Other editors are invited to improve on the situation.  Thanks again to kwami for fixing the fiddly bits. --arkuat (talk) 09:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been nearly 10 years, and the article STILL says "7th largest" near the top, but "6th largest" near the bottom. Are we any closer to deciding which story to run with, yet? 146.199.0.203 (talk) 16:16, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have not researched it recently, but I can tell you that there will be overlapping estimates because the uncertainties will overlap. Different methods will produce somewhat different results. We really do not known the precise mass of all the largest asteroids. And 7th by diameter/volume does not mean it needs to the same by mass. -- Kheider (talk) 17:02, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
