Could you please stop?

Please stop adding code for non-breaking spaces to dates all over WP. This is not necessary, is frequently reverted and makes things a mess for other editors. Thanks. --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 19:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Metis (moon), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Maeve Kessler (talk) 10:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not vandalise the page for Metis 2A00:23C6:E382:D001:3E7C:6EAF:157C:207B (talk) 11:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orbit speed

Hi, I see that you've been recently adding average orbital speed values to several moon articles. I need to let you know that you'll need to provide a reliable source to these values, since Wikipedia needs to verifiable. Please see the WP:REF for tips on how to cite sources. Lastly, I'm personally not a big fan of adding orbital speed values to outer irregular moons since their orbits can change significantly over time. For that reason I've removed your orbital speed values from irregular moon articles. Thanks. Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 16:31, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Orbital speed # Mean orbital speed

I used the formula from the above Wikipedia page to determine the values which I posted to Wikipedia. The eccentricities and distances between moons and their planet I also found on Wikipedia.

Most moons in our solar system move more rapidly than Earth's moon. 2A00:23C6:E382:D001:3E7C:6EAF:157C:207B (talk) 17:52, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that's fair. For irregular moons, I advise you to only add mean orbital speed if they have "proper orbital elements" listed in their infobox, like in S/2021 N 1. A lot of irregular moon articles use osculating orbital elements, which assume a constant Keplerian orbit that doesn't take perturbations by the Sun and other planets into account. It would be nice to use replace the osculating orbital elements with mean/proper orbital elements (from JPL's mean orbital elements for satellites list) for all irregular moon articles on Wikipedia, but there's so many that it's honestly hard to do that myself...
