Image gallery[edit]

I put four images of asteroids into a gallery, nice and big like the thumbs. The images crowded the text in narrow windows. I am rather pleased how it turned out, I may move others.User-duck (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

External links modified (January 2018)[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Asteroid. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120406222551/http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/astronomical-information-center/minor-planets/ to http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/astronomical-information-center/minor-planets

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

As of February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{sourcecheck}} (last update: 15 July 2018).

If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 09:22, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Article Organization[edit]

Seems like an order for the sections like this would be an improvement:

1. Terminology  2. Distribution  3. Formation  4. Characteristics  5. Classification  6. Discovery  7. Naming  8. Impacts  9. Exploration  10. Fiction

Note the addition of Impacts, per the GA review. Perhaps I'll try to work on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanchazo (talk • contribs) 19:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
