Hello! I'm not sure if you noticed this, but I wanted to let you know that this redirect you patrolled had been G5'd twice in the past, and this time was re-created by the same sock-puppeteer as the last time. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 06:07, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. Gone now, again, but I can't help thinking it was a valid redirect, from a (probably) non-notable TV show to the barely-notable TV channel it was on (although the existing article doesn't mention the TV series). Now there are just redlinks dangling. I'm planning to recreate it with a target of List of programs broadcast by ARY Zindagi, but just checking with everyone first. Were you the CSD nominator?

I was the nominator, yes. They made a couple other redirects to pages where the programs were never mentioned. I forget where the previous target was; I don't think it was the list of programs, though. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 20:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pleiades has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:44, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Lithopsian, I have noticed that you have recently reviewed and improved many of my newly created astronomy articles. I appreciate the help, but could you please tell me where you find the Gaia DR3 data for the stars? (Including luminosity, mass, parallax, radius, spectral type, etc.) I am curious for the source and it could significantly help me use better and more official sources in my future article creations. Thank you, and I hope to be beneficial to the astronomical community on Wikipedia! 2003 LN6 (talk) 05:11, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Gaia data is available in a number of places. I use VizieR because it is convenient and Simbad links to it automatically. If you go to VizieR, you can query against data release 3 using a source ID, an object name, or coodinates. Note that the default settings of 2 arc-minute squares will return you way too many hits from Gaia, so restrict it to something like 2 arc-seconds (although that can be tricky with high-proper motion objects unless you have coordinates for the right epoch). The result will just be a main data row (hopefully just one), look in the top left corner of the page for other tables that may contain data about the object; paramp is probably the most interesting. If you have trouble, from Simbad, you can pull up a page of basic data for most bright-ish objects and there will be a link to the relevant Gaia DR3 row, and many other VizieR databases. Click the icon next to the relevant identifier. Lithopsian (talk) 14:25, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Understood, thank you. 2003 LN6 (talk) 23:15, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
