As a non native speaker I'm trying to do additional kind of work instead of contributing text. I started to load up a few images from hublle gallery and integrated them in the article. However, I'm not really sure if they are really ideal that way. A real good graphic for "galaxy" would be [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hubble_sequence_photo.png  the hubble sequence photo] from Commons. It's GNU and produced by Ville Koisten. But I'll have to look for the right way of proceeding before loading up non public domain graphics. So long --[[User:Sebastian Breitschafter|Sebastian Breitschafter]] 19:07, 23 February 2007 (CST)

What do people think about the structure of this article? First of all, I think "Galactic Biology" has to go. Because, what? It just seems way out of place (space or place?). -- Sarah Tuttle 10:24, 5 January 2007 (CST)

Re-write proposal

Hey James. We should throw this article up to CZ live. Also, what do you think about a complete rewrite? Sarah Tuttle 10:46, 12 February 2007 (CST)

I added the CZ Live category. removed the "galactic biology" section (it was misplaced) and put a link to Extraterrestrial life article in the See also section.
As for re-writing: sorry, right at the moment I can't help there. My plate is full for the time being with Joan of Arc related pages and I need to bring some of them to a conclusion or at least get them further along before adding more. It probably wouldn't be this one anyway. If I work on any Astronomy articles, they would most likely be 19th century and earlier. James F. Perry 12:57, 16 February 2007 (CST)

help

hi all, ermmmm you got me here. What do you mean by galaxy, milky way, M31, NGC 531 or Universe, all of them????? Robert Tito | Talk 13:09, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Pictures and graphics

As a non native speaker I'm trying to do additional kind of work instead of contributing text. I started to load up a few images from Hubble Gallery and integrated them in the article. However, I'm not really sure if they are really ideal that way. A real good graphic for "galaxy" would be the hubble sequence photo from Commons. It's GNU and produced by Ville Koisten.

Disambiguation?

Since "Galaxy" is a common enough word, would it be appropriate to make this a disambiguation page? I've already got this linked to where it needs to refer to the SF magazine, and it's also a brand of chocolate. How do we do these things on CZ? I'm new, I've just come from WP.--Matthew Simon Quartermain 05:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I set up Galaxy (disambiguation), from where you can start on the other uses of the word. Welcome! --Daniel Mietchen 10:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
