Talk:Mare Tranquillitatis

message: Should it be referred to as "Sea of Tranquility" or "Sea of Tranquillity"? The former is used in the article, while on the Main Page—whence I came to this article—I encountered the latter.  Merriam-Webster Online lists "tranquillity" as its main entry and "tranquility" as a variant.  Google Fight shows a pretty even match between the two. --timc | Talk 16:27, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The single 'l' is an Americanism (according to Chambers). All the other '-ility' nouns (that I can think of) come from adjectives ending in '-le' (usually '-ble' or '-ile'). Most Americans shorten the pronunciation of '-ile' words (so, for instance, the film title Hostel would be seen as a pun). Hence, 'tranquil' is lumped in with 'hostile' etc., and thus 'tranquillity' is lumped in with 'hostility' etc. – and the double 'l' is overlooked. Grant 11:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I quickly updated this section with Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, the 2018 album and single from Arctic Monkeys. The name is an obvious reference to the Sea of Tranquility. AMCG16 (talk) 19:29, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Quick Update to "In the Arts" Section

message: The article uses a graphic that appears on many WP pages, Lunar nearside with major maria and craters labelled. However, the Mare Insularum lies in the dark area between the bright craters Copernicus and Kepler. If an editor has access to the original so that single blue line could be redrawn, instead of someone recreating the entire image, that'd be great. See the article or the image is here and here:

replies: text: This an easy fix for editors at WP:GL/I and c:COM:GL/ILL. Please explain the problem to either of the two workshops I linked to and cite your source, and someone will fix it. Easy peasy! Don't worry about how it should be done. Just tell them what you need changed and why. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 06:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
