How big??

[edit]

Anyone having any reference saying how big this spaceboulder was? Rursus 19:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Answer myself: about 0.25 marses up to not 1 mars. Rursus 21:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Answer on a non-asked question: Planet V orbited at 1.9 AU, while asteroid belt is at c:a 2.3-3.9 and Mars at 1.5 AU. Rursus 21:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Deletion debate

[edit]

This article was merged with and redirected to Vanbrugh College (University of York) as a result of an Articles for Deletion debate. The discussion can be found here. -Splashtalk 20:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MYA

[edit]

"4,000 [million years ago] ago"? Is that the customary use of mya? Also, the mya page claims it should be lowercase. Thuktun 20:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

mya = MYA = Mya = million years ago in the planetary science literature. Michaelbusch 21:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mya (unit) states it is supposed to be written in lower-case. Let's at least be consistent across Wikipedia. At the very least, the 4,000 should not be part of a link to unit definition. Tomalak Geret'kal (talk) 18:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

[edit]

Um, what is the reception the rest of the planetary science community has given this theory? -- Beland (talk) 02:20, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I made a punctuation edit which was reverted.

[edit]

The second paragraph contains a sentence which is erroneously broken up into two sentences via a period:

"While long-lived this orbit was unstable on a time-scale of 600 Myr. Eventually perturbations from the other inner planets drove Planet V onto a high-eccentricity orbit which crossed into the inner asteroid belt."

The former portion is a fragment and should be connected by a comma. After making this change, I received a notice that I had made "unhelpful edits" which have been reverted. Since this seems to be an instance where a mod simply hasn't had his coffee yet, I am again making the correction in the hopes that this time, the mod pays better attention to the change that was made and why it was needed. 173.166.110.9 (talk) 16:49, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
