[edit] question
How do you create external links on wiki? Do you just insert the "a href" html code you do for usual webpages?
- Like this: [http://www.webpage.com/ TitleofWebpage]. And by the way, the Milky Way has long been suspected to be barred. Spitzer is just the most recent confirmation. :) --Etacar11 00:26, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. Yeah, it has been suspected to be a barred spiral, but the Spitzer has pretty much just proved it. And the bar is alot longer than previously thought. :) OK, testing link here (it did ask for sources, after all)... Title.
- Your edit to the article makes it sound like yesterday astronomers thought it was a regular spiral and today they think its barred. That's all I meant. :) --Etacar11 03:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- Just made a quick update, sounds a little more appropriate now.
[edit] Slashdot linkage
Heads up, there is a front page link to this article on slashdot right now, so expect edit traffic and vandalism to spike. - Chairboy 16:51, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yikes, and it's such a tiny article in need of expansion! --Etacar11 16:54, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Typos
Arn't Sm's spiral galaxies wit a bit of irregularities, not dwarfs. The classification for dwarf galaxies are with a "d" before it. So the LMC and SMC should be classified as dSBm. But isn't that funny, two barred galaxies orbiting a barred galaxy, LOL.

[edit] Generalization from a single example?
This sentence from the page: "Studying the core of the Milky Way, scientists found out that the Milky Way's bulge was peanut-shaped. This led to the conclusion that all barred spiral galaxies have a peanut shaped bulge." should be rewritten with more examples and a better explanation of the scientific process that was used. Otherwise, one might think that a generalization was made from ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE. Hugo Dufort 04:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
