Cruft

i.e. nearly everything here. Thoughts or crush kill destroy? Тy^Yarrr 19:40, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

there's no such thing as cruft on RW. Apparently everything in mainspace is on-mission if one person kinda likes it or thinks it informative in some way. I suggest a move to reference space. Sophie^{because liberals} 19:44, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

uh, right. (goes to create a bunch of articles on cartridges) and move it there how? Тy^{Serious Business Guy} 19:47, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Soerry, the sarcasm didn't come off so well in print. Sophie^{because liberals} 19:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I understood it. ;} pulling out my editing machete. Тy^Yes? 19:49, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Be back in a few hours to finish if noone else does, the lab calls. Тy^YAUA 19:57, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Pour l'amour de Dieu...

Is this really all RationalWiki has to say about stars? There's a universe of woo out there, like New Age bullshit, modern geocentrism, astrology, et cetera ad infinitum, nauseum, et absurdum. I'm meeting my quota with things like Candida. (Article a week club reboot, anyone?) The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 16:51, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

This article seems encyclopedic

It doesn't appear to cover any woo. We're not an encyclopedia (and even on those terms, compare the quality of our article to TOW's article on stars). Either our article needs to start covering woo/sync up to the mission statement generally, or it needs to go. Thoughts? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 23:19, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Agree. Same with Black hole, which should be better, because there is a lot of woo about black holes (so leave a template for that one). Brown dwarf as well. Petey Plane (talk) 00:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Agreed, Petey. We should compile a list of the worst culprits and possibly AfD them en masse. We are not an encyclopedia. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 04:12, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Typo?

The section 'Nuclear pasta and antipasta' has 'the neutron star's outer crust may be composted of some of the toughest material in the universe' - is this deliberate? Anna Livia (talk) 17:19, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

God and stellar objects

As a thought-experiment what happens to deities, especially of the universe-pervading kind, in the vicinity of neutron stars (and other fast-rotating stellar bodies) and black holes? Anna Livia (talk) 17:19, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
