Talk:List of largest stars

Flagging yet again.

1. There's no way this can be annotated simply because the nature of the list limits the language possibilities. There's bound to be a lot of technical terms on the page.
2. There's no way the page can be guaranteed as always up-to-date. We don't have enough editors to ensure this, and we don't have any professional astronomers working on this wiki.

It's no use flagging things which are already as good as they reasonably can be. The content is mostly very sound, and the weak spots are as much to do with the nature of the subject-matter as as anything. Be reasonable about flagging pages: if it's not going to do anything good, then don't flag. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:22, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Outdated stats

Hi guys, some of these sizes are inaccurate

Yeah, I have updated many articles. No worries, the list has been updated. That sockpuppet still likes those old sizes.

The Sun's peak size

The Sun's peak size should be "Sun's AGB Phase" Because The Sun will reach its peak size as an AGB Star, not an RGB Star.--THE COLOSSAL GALAXY NAMED IC1101 (talk) 04:20, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

That is true, but many people do not know the difference between an RGB and AGB phase.PNSMurthy (talk) 02:56, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Messy page

This page is just a mess, there are so many outdated and cherry-picked sizes, and it lacks a lot of sources. Nussun05 (talk) 11:37, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Uy Scuti is currently stated to be among the largest stars known

Uy Scuti is among the largest stars known to man based on analysis of its luminosity, temperature, and distance, which estimates it to be 2150 solar radii. This makes it large enough - for the most part - to engulf the orbit of Saturn, making the estimate larger than current theories model stars to grow to.

The list needed an example though that was obviously missing based on our current estimates. 2607:FB91:1842:50E2:CD24:7A2C:602F:47DB (talk) 02:13, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

UY Scuti isn't the largest star

Why is the object in this list for reference? Can't we just remove it? APerosn53248 (talk) 08:10, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
