Talk:List of astronomy acronyms

message: I added the list to Category:Acronyms. You were doing it backwords, CarpD. You add the category to the page on the bottom by add  Category:Acronyms  and it automatically shows up on the category page. As a sidenote, if you want to create a link to a category page from an article, you need to put a : before category in the link like so:  Category:Acronyms . --Exodio 12:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :Well, I see that your editting a lot from me.  I want to thank you for your time on my amatuer-ish.  Thanks GeorgeJBendo, CarpD (^_^) 8/27/06 16:36 central time zone.
::I do not think of you as very "amateur-ish" because you obviously have spent a lot of time reading professional astronomy articles. I just want to see things done well.  Besides, I think your original list is better than the lists maintained by astronomers on the web. GeorgeJBendo 08:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huge Thanks George 

message: :Are we not keeping the catalog link.  If it is too cluttered, then a master list should be at the top to link each item, ie. telescope, organization, catalog, etc. Thanks, CarpD 8/28/06
::I thought that keeping the catalog link would not be useful.  A key at the top with links to appropriate articles (for telescopes, catalogs, instrumentation, etc.) would be more appropriate. GeorgeJBendo 22:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Catalog Links 

message: :To make it simple, GeorgeJBendo, if you feel like deleting an object, place it in this list, and we'll discuss this after the page is completed.  Make life easier.  Plus, I can keep track of what have been removed, if we decide in the future to add it, we can simply copy and paste with ease.  Thanks, CarpD 8/28/06
::Good idea. I will do that as I edit the page. GeorgeJBendo 08:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deleted Acronymns 

message: Wow - list looks great. I think it will be a huge help. You should add a link to it from the main Astro Objects project page when you think it's "done". This should probably go into a box that can be attached to any WikiProject relating to Space - maybe a meta-link page. --Exodio 08:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Great job 

message: According to the IAU recommendations, the identifier was built from the object position and taking into account the observational angular resolution.  The resulting format is M31 JHHMMSSss+DDMMSSs.  For the variable stars, the acronym was changed to M31V to indicate that they are also in the variable star catalog, page 6 on the paper.  , thanks, CarpD 9/13/06
::We should wait to see if it becomes commonly used.  I see no reason to include an acronym that is not even published yet.  GeorgeJBendo 20:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: XRF is linked to a page on X-ray Fluorescence. This needs to be corrected. THIS XRF an astronomy acronym for X-ray Flash, with a softer spectrum than a GRB (e.g. http://iopscience.iop.org/0004-637X/697/1/758/pdf/0004-637X_697_1_758.pdf is not a great reference, but you can see some references here and he uses the words, "Softer XRF". -BTP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.243.51.46 (talk) 00:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Huh! I read this via Google News, wanted to know why an XRF unit might be a neat thing to have on your phone, and found that XRF (while not the worst Dab i've seen lately) did have the accompanying list as the target of one of the Dab entries, and worse yet, said list pointed to an idiotic Rdr at X-ray flash that not only ignored the need for Dab'n of the phrase, but also had a target that doesn't even mention the phrase.   I've changed the Rdr to a Dab, and written a stub for X-ray flash (astronomy). It may turn out to be a crap stub, and i hope someone will pay more attention to it than seems to have been paid to the preceding talk contrib.--Jerzy•t 02:46, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Errors

message: The entry
: * XMM – (telescope) X-ray Multi Mirror, part of the name of the XMM-Newton X-ray space telescope 
seems to be trying to respect the page's convention of linking the abbreviation to the article, in the same breath with making an over-scrupulous  sense/reference distinction, and thoroly overloaded the entry even before it linked twice to the same page. I'm not prepared to tackle the question of whether the implicit MoS of this particular page is wisely chosen, but i'm satisfied it is pointlessly overloaded in this particular entry. IMO
: * XMM – (telescope) X-ray Multi-Mirror, the XMM-Newton earth-orbiting X-ray-sensitive telescope 
does the job significantly better.   YMMV (and if so, verbum sap.: others can work that out).--Jerzy•t 04:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

message: It appears that the slightly smaller page, Astronomical acronyms, covers a very similar topic, and contains much of the same content as this one, so I suggest merging the article later. To give fair warning, I will wait until Wednesday (the 18th) to actually merge them, to wait for possible discussion/input on this. 107.184.134.64 (talk) 14:17, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
