:::Yeah, i hope to get through some more missing climate and geology articles before my availability plummets in a couple years :)
:::One I do look forward to digging in to is the "climate" of Ceres, since its obliquity is especially chaotic and its exosphere is geologically-driven (probably??) and discontinuous.

Infoboxes of Mercurian craters

The infoboxes you have been replacing are not redundant. The ones you have removed included a link to the appropriate quadrangle (Debussy, Eminescu, etc). Please revert the edits or suggest another solution. Jstuby (talk) 18:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

:Quadrangles can simply be included in the "location" section of the feature on celestial object infoboxes. Regardless, you're correct that I was hasty in my editing and that I should have been more careful; I'll go back and implement that change. ArkHyena (talk) 18:53, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

::I've been hasty before as well. The way the crater infobox is set up is that a formula reads the coordinates and figures out the quadrangle, so there is no manual adding of the quadrangle. This works for Mercury anyway.

the second-awesomest natural satellite

Come, now, you can't just leave it at that and not tell us what the objectively awesomest one is. :) (If I might guess – Titan?) Double sharp (talk) 07:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

:Spot on, Titan of course! Perhaps a bit cliché, but I find no other moon manages to match its impressively exotic geology, atmosphere, and weather/climate. It's big, has an internal ocean, and gets extra points for being placed snugly in Saturn's awesome moon system. ArkHyena (talk) 23:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
::Titan would be one of my picks for awesomest too. It's just that, due to its etymology, I'd have some trouble not jokingly answering with Callisto. :) Double sharp (talk) 04:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Haha, etymological justifications are more than welcome of course. Though, I suppose one could evaluate them from ''purely'' etymological grounds, in which case I'd have to answer with Hydra{{mdash}}its PIE root also meant otter! And of course, who could forget Dimorphos's (unfortunately) informal name, ''Didymoon''? ArkHyena (talk) 06:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Incidentally, since I saw you wrote regular moon ↗, and because I find it amusing to ponder classification: would you generally consider Luna a regular satellite? I am inclined to think it stands somewhat apart, because while it wasn't captured, it's also far enough out that its precession is primarily controlled by the Sun. (I also am somewhat in two minds about Iapetus. Though of course, this is more a personal-opinion question, since I suspect the sources are generally in accord that these two are regular.) Double sharp (talk) 03:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

:So this is really fun to answer because "regular moon" seems to be one of those terms where astronomers/planetary scientists have this unspoken shared understanding that it's nebulous and no solid definition really exists internally, but nobody cares enough to improve on it since the problems it causes are small. Kinda like "dwarf planet", heh; I wish I could've addressed this in article, but unfortunately it seems to be one of those vibe-based quirks of astronomy nobody really codifies.
:But there at least seems to be two "starter" definition based on my interpretation of usage: that "regular moon" is dynamic, i.e. that a regular moon is only a low-e low-i moon; or, that it's original, so that only moons that formed around a planet are regular. And annoyingly, there seems to be a lot of hybridization, so people often call Nereid an "irregular moon" regardless of origin hypotheses.
:Based on the former, I'd probablly say yes? It's quite far out, but it's still a low-e low-i orbit. Certainly no worse than Hyperion or Iapetus, despite its awesome interactions with Solar tides. On the latter, ofc it'd also be yes, as it seems collisions also count as in-situ formation. So I guess yes in general?? ArkHyena (talk) 03:44, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks for the very illuminating reply! I likewise wish this could've been addressed too – it's interesting for Phobos and Deimos (and, considering some theories I remember, perhaps Amalthea)? :) Double sharp (talk) 03:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Of course! Phobos and Deimos are weird because they're unequivocally regular moons in the dynamical sense, but due to capture hypotheses they're treated more as a toss-up. MMX should help clear that up (fully expecting an in-situ origin myself!), so that conundrum may not be around by 2030. ArkHyena (talk) 17:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
::::Cool! Now if only we get a Jovian irregular mission at some point. :) Double sharp (talk) 06:44, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::Wait, we very well might get one. ↗ Hurray, then! Double sharp (talk) 07:16, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi ArkHyena, I just wanted to let you know that I have added ↗ the autopatrolled user right ↗ to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed ↗. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested ↗ on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers ↗.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject ↗ templates, stub tags ↗, categories ↗, and incoming links ↗ to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies ↗, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller ↗ yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Sohom (talk) 06:46, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Please do not use an automatic script to add commas after "therefore"

For example, special:diff/1318314744 ↗. Either version is considered correct, both versions are extremely common in English writing, and making this kind of minor change in a semi-automated fashion is disruptive. –jacobolus ↗ (t) ↗ 07:09, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
