According to WP-ru, the moon is Ilmarë, but I can't confirm. — kwami (talk) 03:17, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
In Quenya it would be IPA: [ˈvarda] (Varda), IPA: [ˈilmarɛ] (Ilmarë). Double sharp (talk) 11:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Why does the infobox emphasize the equatorial surface gravity? In some infoboxes it stands as "surface gravity" while in others there stands "equatorial surface gravity", although the input is the same (surface_grav). How do you control what is mentioned? 212.186.7.232 (talk) 08:00, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
I want to upload and use this particular Hubble image of Varda from this website but I'm not sure if it is copyrighted or not. I've tried searching through www2.lowell.edu and found nothing mentioning image usage and copyright. Nrco0e (talk) 03:15, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
The infobox gives a size of 790±15 × 790±15 × 723±14 km, citing [1]. However, that paper neither mentions a polar diameter (723?), nor an uncertainty on it (14?). There is a note in this Wikipedia article that says the polar diameter was calculated from the given oblateness of 0.085, which would be via . However, this would lead to an equivalent diameter of , which does not agree with the value given in the reference (756 km). This may be because the source does not specify the size of the second axis. One should be careful about drawing conclusions that are not explicitly validated by the reference: Assuming sounds straight forward but is not necessarily correct. In addition, the uncertainty to the polar diameter (and also to the medium axis) is completely unverified. If I should guess, it seems this comes from , but uncertainties can't be handled like that! My suggestion: Remove the 790±15 × 790±15 × 723±14
, and replace it with what the source actually says: Equatorial diameter 790±15, oblateness 0.085. Renerpho (talk) 19:30, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
I notice on pages for certain other TNOs (Makemake, Haumea, Gonggong, Sedna, etc), the Wikipedia articles have assigned them various symbols from Suberic.net (namely, this page), but the symbol in use here for Varda is nowhere to be seen. From where is Wikipedia getting this symbol? 134340Goat (talk)
