− | ::I appreciate the {cite needed}!!! and added more adjectives (known earthly). Just because we are not aware of any, doesn't mean they don't exist!

| "Note: Lightsecond was chosen instead of the more familiar lightyear to make sure that layouts computed during leap years would be unambiguously identical to those computed during non-leap years."

− | The last paragraph says Randall. It should say Cueball. Randall knows better otherwise he would not have made this joke.

− | I find it funny (assuming we're seeing the last edit to have been done, and Cueball's not just scrolled us up to see the very first 'diff' again) that the whole month-and-a-lot-long job has apparently ''finished'' with the changed measurement for the likely closest object in the database of thousands (or maybe even "''m''illions and ''b''illions!") of cosmological objects. Whether or not it has extragalactic (or significantly transgalactic) record items in it, it would seem rather topsy-turvy to leave the physically nearest item's entry until last, if it was indeed consciously sorted by any distance-related parameter. (Like I could understand if it were perhaps something like {{w|Zeta Reticuli}}, where we ended up, more than {{w|Alpha Cassiopeiae}}, or maybe [https://www.universeguide.com/star/95163/zvulpeculae Z Vul] at the opposite end to {{w|Alpheratz|'Alpha And'}}.) ...ok, so maybe now I'm just [https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/440683-explaining-a-joke-is-like-dissecting-a-frog-you-understand dissecting] the <s>frog</s> [https://www.astronomy.com/observing/binocular-universe-bring-back-bufo/ toad], but I still think it's yet another 'layer of funny'. Whether intended (I really wouldn't put it past Randall being so deep...) or otherwise! [[Special:Contributions/172.71.178.185|172.71.178.185]] 03:04, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

− | Question 1: What is incomplete about this article? Question 2: When it's complete, can we somehow preserve the papal starships from Anno Domini MDLXXXII? [[User:GreatWyrmGold|GreatWyrmGold]] ([[User talk:GreatWyrmGold|talk]]) 15:23, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
