Citation???
editHow are we citing a talk at a conference that *hasn't happened yet*??? PsyMar (talk) 07:08, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- @PsyMar: I suppose it would be more appropriate to cite the "last updated" date (9 July 2025) then? We're only citing the abstract of this talk, which hasn't happened yet (will take place in September 2025). Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 07:19, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Should imperial units be visible?
editWe almost never include them on other moon articles, e.g. Ophelia. 108.160.120.113 (talk) 01:19, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- What benefit would that bring to this article? And also, these "other articles" (e.g. Ophelia) that you're citing are poorly maintained stubs, which does not make for a good standard. The conversion helps to make numbers comprehensible to both audiences who are familiar with either imperial and metric systems, which are both still common today. Even if the imperial system is not appropriate for science, NASA still uses them (see the press release) to make things understandable to their common audience (Americans).

- Okay, either rewrite them all to mention imperial units or remove them from this. It's an unnecessary double standard to have on Wikipedia. Why would one article mention imperial units excessively but none of its kin? The inconsistency is in my opinion unwarranted. Is there a standard for this? 108.160.120.113 (talk) 01:42, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
- OK, I'll add the imperial unit conversions to the other Uranian moon articles in a bit. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 01:45, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Diameter in miles
edit@Nrco0e: Most sources mention "6 miles" . Therefore, we should not remove the miles. 174.138.218.72 (talk) 23:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)
- The 6 miles figure is already given in the conversion of 10 km. If it's fine with you, I've included the conversion in the infobox. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 00:02, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- That works! 174.138.218.72 (talk) 00:06, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- No problem :) Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 00:09, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Outdated conclusion.
editSo according to the latest info: this moon's orbital inclination turned out to be very high at 4.0°, and its orbital eccentricity is actually 0.039 (Titania in comparison is only 0.0011). Does this mean that Dr. El Moutamid's conclusion that this moon most likely formed right around its current location (because the moon's inclination and eccentricity are low) is already outdated?
