message: A Wikipedian out there who is good with 3D modeling could make a very slick image for this page. I know there is already an image but it would be pretty easy to make it a lot nicer. -Craig Pemberton (talk) 02:37, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: As this article presently stands, the 2nd paragraph on the Eudoxan planetary model seems only very thinly related to the subject of the article. Why is it there? Friendly Person (talk) 22:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eudoxan planetary model 

message: Someone (apparently Student7) re-wrote this article to be "less earth-centric". Sorry, but it doesn't apply. The ecliptic, which is mentioned in the article, is the plane of Earth's orbit about the Sun. It does not apply to a planet around some other star. We could write it that way, but as it stands, it's now nonsense. Tfr000 (talk) 21:32, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The term should, for historical reason's, probably be reserved for the Celestial sphere (referring to Earth), not just any celestial sphere (referring to any object). Nothing stops us from defining the generalized concept in a separate section. YohanN7 (talk) 14:45, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

text: Excellent idea... a separate section. Tfr000 (talk) 15:10, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I now agree with the editors. It should be worded earth-centric. There is no general set of coordinates for other stars/planets. Nor should there be. It is unique to Earth-Sol. Student7 (talk) 20:56, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

text: It has now been fixed. Feel free to elaborate on it. Tfr000 (talk) 13:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

message: ... there is written "which appears to rotate westward overhead". This is correct but needs clarification. For instance, what does it mean if the observer is at the North (or South) pole ? --Arnaud Chéritat (talk) 22:35, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
