Is the reference sufficient?
[edit]The words: "list of Arabic star names, published in Popular Astronomy, January 1895, by Professor Robert H. West, of the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut" are followed by a citation needed template. However, this does not need a reference. It is a reference and I will format it as such. It should either be kept as a sufficient reference or deleted along with the text that it supports as an insufficient reference. I do not have sufficient library facilities to determine if it is a sufficient reference or not. - Fartherred (talk) 16:01, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
Contradictions in Alcor B section
[edit]The main article says Alcor A and B are .5 to 1.5 LY apart, but the Alcor B section specifies 1.3 LY. Also, the main part of the article - and most other sources - state it is not proven Alcor A and Alcor B are gravitationally bound; but the Alcor B section states as a fact that Alcor is a sextuple star system.
Alcor B section should be rewritten for consistency.
Also, it is extremely odd and unbalanced for Alcor B to have its own section, but for the only place Alcor A is actually discussed is in the Summary Box near the intro. Mastakos (talk) 02:32, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
