Temporary designation

Is one of S/2004 1R and R/2004 S 1 more correct? The former generates more Google hits, especially in the initial press coverage, but the latter is more consistent with previous designations such as S/2002 J 1 (presumably "1st satellite of Jupiter discovered in 2002"), and has apparently been mentioned in IAU circulars [1]. (See also [2] which uses the latter notation.) I've not yet found anything official from the IAU. -- JTN 01:14, 2005 Feb 11 (UTC)

R/2004 S 1 is the correct one (with spaces). IAU is always correct. Actually S/2004 1R does not make any sense, because the "S" in the designation refers to Saturn. Looks like this one uses yet another style: 1989N3R refers to 3rd ring of Neptune. But I think this article should be R/2004 S 1 and nothing else until the ringlet receives permanent name (or probably letter in this case). Finally, a redirect page with that name already exist, so could somebody move this article there? -- Jyril 22:41, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Done. (You could probably have done it too?) Yes, of course IAU are right by definition, but I couldn't find any direct evidence of their temporary naming scheme (on their web pages, for instance). However, NASA are now using the R/ names [3]; that's good enough for me. -- JTN 14:36, 2005 Feb 25 (UTC)

Talk:S

Any way to remove the link to "Talk:S" from the top of this talk page?? Georgia guy 01:16, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Doubt it. Slashes are special in Wikipedia topic names for more-or-less historical reasons, as I understand it (see Wikipedia:Subpages); so if there's one in the topic name then we lose (slightly). -- JTN 01:30, 2005 Feb 11 (UTC)

As JTN states, we can probably not remove the link to talk:s, but this is a benign bug. I would worry about this problem.

Ŭalabio, did you perhaps mean to say "I wouldn't worry about this problem?" -Guest
