:Why, thank you! I was surprised to see so many TNO articles lack the stub template, so it is nice being appreciated for trying to address this issue! Thirtyfourninety (talk) 00:04, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

"Am I going too far?" ↗

{{re|Thirtyfourninety}} The answer is "probably yes". Many of the articles you've tagged as stubs (like (308933) 2006 SQ372 ↗) aren't actually stubs. And many of the red-links you've removed had a good reason to be there. Some of those edits have been reverted, by me and by other users. As you said, this is a lot of work ↗, and you may be wasting your time if you continue without discussing this first. Renerpho (talk) 10:28, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

:To expand on what I just said: If you plan to make a change that affects a multitude of articles, even a small one (as in this case), it's a good idea to ask first if there's a reason why things are the way they are. Renerpho (talk) 11:56, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
::Yeah, maybe I should slow down a bit. I've been making a lot of quick edits without thinking. Thirtyfourninety (talk) 13:12, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions ↗, such as the edit(s) you made to :Perfect Strangers (Deep Purple song) ↗, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted ↗. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines ↗. You can find information about these at our welcome page ↗ which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia ↗. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page ↗. Thank you. - <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS"><span style="color:#800000">'''FlightTime Phone'''</span> <small>(<span style="color:#1C0978">'''open channel'''</span>)</small></span> 00:37, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{re|FlightTime Phone}} I believe they are trying to follow WP:TAGSTUB ↗. Note that that page says that about half of all Wikipedia articles are (untagged) stubs. I don't think {{u|Thirtyfourninety}} need guidance on how to use their sandbox, but on what is and what isn't a stub. The earlier comments on this user talk page suggest as much.
:By the way, I agree that Perfect Strangers (Deep Purple song) ↗ and Indians (song) ↗ might be WP:STUB ↗s, while Fireball (Deep Purple song) ↗ and Electric Eye (song) ↗ are probably not. Renerpho (talk) 01:13, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the TNO names

Thanks for updating the TNO names! I've been really busy with other things and am generally unmotivated to work on Wikipedia right now, so I wasn't able to keep up. <span style="font-size:103%; color: #528a2d">'''Nrco0e'''</span> <span style="font-size:85%">(talk • contribs ↗)</span> 19:02, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

:You're welcome! I have an hyperfixation on trans-Neptunian objects ↗ right now, so I was anticipating new TNO names in the latest WGSBN bulletin for a while. Thirtyfourninety (talk) 19:06, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
::I have a feeling that you and me have a lot in common...
::See you on September 21st when they hopefully name some more large TNOs! Pluto2181930 (talk) 21:01, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
:::Whoops, correction: September 22nd Pluto2181930 (talk) 21:02, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
::::Alright, see you there! I had a lot of fun updating TNO related articles to reflect the latest names, so I also hope they name more objects soon! Thirtyfourninety (talk) 21:14, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
:::::Heh, I look forward to more of these TNOs getting named. I'd like to improve and expand their articles sometime, but alas I've been getting more busy with other stuff. <span style="font-size:103%; color: #528a2d">'''Nrco0e'''</span> <span style="font-size:85%">(talk • contribs ↗)</span> 22:00, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
::::::Unfortunately there was no newly named TNOs on the 22nd, but hopefully we’ll receive some on October 13th! Pluto2181930 (talk) 18:27, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, I was ''so'' disappointed about that. Hopefully there will be more developments with TNOs in the meantime. Thirtyfourninety (talk) 18:38, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
::::::::You folks got spoilt quickly by those last few bulletins. Don't get used to this. Renerpho (talk) 21:58, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
:::::Do y'all work in the Minor planet center? Just Curious because you said"See you there" My planet is Homlos (talk) 09:35, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::I don't work there. Not sure about everyone else though. Thirtyfourninety (talk) 12:05, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::The WGSBN makes a bulletin every three weeks on a Monday. Thirtyfourninety just said “see you there” because they know that we’ll see each other on that day. Pluto2181930 (talk) 13:11, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::::oh I see My planet is Homlos (talk) 22:50, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::::{{tq|I don't work there. Not sure about everyone else though.}} -- As far as I know, none of the MPC or WGSBN staff is active on Wikipedia (not beyond occasional edits at least). Some of us have proposed asteroid names, but I think for most of us the interest in newly named TNOs is just curiosity. Renerpho (talk) 23:29, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Chiminigagua and the Oxford comma ↗

I'm not sure what the reason is behind your latest edit on 532037 Chiminigagua removing the Oxford serial comma ↗. I personally think it's fine (if not better), even though the Manual of Style ↗ doesn't give a preference for either. If other parts of the article use the Oxford comma, then I'd say it's better to keep it for consistency. <span style="font-size:103%; color: #528a2d">'''Nrco0e'''</span> <span style="font-size:85%">(talk • contribs ↗)</span> 02:39, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

:Alright, got it. I wasn't too sure whether or not to keep the Oxford comma after fixing the grammar in the section. Thirtyfourninety (talk) 02:45, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Updating moon counts

Thanks for updating Jupiter's moon count in other articles. Just letting you know, the MPC announced 11 new moons of Saturn too ↗. <span style="font-size:103%; color: #528a2d">'''Nrco0e'''</span> <span style="font-size:85%">(talk • contribs ↗)</span> 21:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

new numberings

Wait, if the MPEC hasn't come out, what's the source?

(This is very cool, BTW!) Double sharp (talk) 06:44, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

:{{re|Double sharp}} I'd assume it's https://minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/NumberedMPs.html ? Renerpho (talk) 08:20, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
::{{ping|Renerpho}} Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant the new numberings of satellites i.e. Jupiter LXXIII ↗ and Saturn LXVII ↗. :) Double sharp (talk) 08:24, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
:::{{re|Double sharp}} Oh, lol! (There is an issue with the sources for recent numbers of minor planets as well, hence why I assumed that's what you meant.) I suppose https://data.minorplanetcenter.net/explorer/?tab=Designated&search=Jupiter+73 ↗ and https://data.minorplanetcenter.net/explorer/?tab=Designated&search=Saturn+67 ↗ would work as references for Jupiter 73 and Saturn 67, respectively? Renerpho (talk) 10:30, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Renerpho}} That works, thank you! (Although what's this about the issues with minor-planet numbering? o_O) Double sharp (talk) 11:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::{{re|Double sharp}} I recently asked them why the two latest Minor Planet Circulars (the one from March, and the one from May) haven't been published yet. Federica Spoto told me this: {{tq|The Circulars have not been published yet and this is a consequence of us trying to do more comet publications while in preparation mode. We are thinking about how to fix it, but the data are correct.}} -- I'm not sure what to make of that, and what to expect, but I guess we've got to wait and see what's happening.
:::::This affects asteroid numbering, but also the numbering of periodic comets. For example, The MPC's CometEls.txt ↗ file has elements for comets "515P/PANSTARRS" and "516P/PANSTARRS", both with reference to M.P.C. 194204 (dated early March, but remaining unpublished). None of those comets or their names are recognized by the IAU's Working Group Small Bodies Nomenclature,https://www.wgsbn-iau.org/files/Bulletins/V006/WGSBNBull_V006_008.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A380%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C61.2%2C301.1%2C0%5D ↗ because there has not been a proper publication yet. For this reason, the WGSBN's list of periodic comets ends with 514P/Lemmon-PANSTARRS, as does JPL's. Renerpho (talk) 12:11, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
::::::{{ping|Renerpho}} Whoa, that's definitely something. :( I suppose we shall have to wait and see indeed... Double sharp (talk) 14:31, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
:::::::{{re|Double sharp}} In case you didn't notice, the MPC published a new Minor Planet Circular (https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/ECS/MPCArchive/2026/MPC_20260414.pdf ↗, formally dated 14 April 2026 -- the first one since January) a few hours after my previous comment. It includes an official record of the two newly numbered satellites on page 2309. Renerpho (talk) 23:53, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
