message: I added references to this article and pretty much had to rewrite it to include them.  Please add more (with references) if you've got it!--Will.i.am 14:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This is unclear (self-contradictory?):
So, are all of the properties explained or not? Qblik 05:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Are the numbers in the table correct? In particular, the "radius" values seem suspect (they overlap, but IMO they should not). Qblik 00:44, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The article talks of the Metisan orbit, and two sentences later the Metisian orbit, with an extra 'i'. I find insufficient references available online to boldly decide which spelling is correct or, if both are correct, which is more common or appropriate here. Assuming there is not a reason for the current spelling variation, an informed decision on which spelling to use within the article seems prudent. Michael Devore 07:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

text: If we must use an adjectival form, wouldn't Metidian probably be more correct? (Per Kwami's 2005 comment at Talk:Metis (moon). Double sharp (talk) 11:57, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Designated the Voyager 1 as first enounter.  Incorrect! 
The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 space probes -- December 1973 for Pioneer 10 and Decmber 1974 for Pioneer 11 were the first TWO encounters.  That makes Voyager 1 the THIRD.
Yes, the photographs were not high definition - by today's standards - but neither were the first Mariners to Mars.
Pioneer 10 and 11 established the first magnetosphere other than the Earth's -- the late James Van Allen investigator.

replies: text: Did the Pioneer probes detect the rings though? I remember when Voyager 1 reached Jupiter and if my recollection is correct, that's when the rings were discovered. thx1138 04:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The rings were discovered by Voyager 1 in 1979. Pioneers did not observe rings. See ref 1. Ruslik 19:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "In visible and near-infrared light, the rings have a reddish color".  That sentence needs reqorking, but I think it needs someone who understands and observes the phenomena to get it right as well as clear in meaning.  What colour are the rings?  What wavelentghs or bands of radiation are they bright in? Midgley 14:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They are red, which means that their reflectivity increase with wavelenght in visible and near-IR (0.4-2 μm). Ruslik 07:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What colour is near-infrared? 

message: I have an interesting question, but I'm not sure if ayone here can answer it.
Let's say we could somehow collect all the material of Jupiters Rings and condense it into one object, how large would it be and how dense?

replies: text: The answer is in the lead: "The total mass of the ring system (including unobserved parent bodies) is about 1016 kg, which is comparable with the mass of Adrastea.". Ruslik 07:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone just added operads to the "See Also" section. I don't get it. thx1138 10:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was vandalism; someone keeps adding operads to everything. (An odd hobby!) I've removed it. Sam Staton (talk) 12:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The table under Discovery and structure says "Dust fraction (in τ)", shouldn't the  "(in τ)" part be in the header "Optical depth"?
