Meets the eligibility criteria (new GA, adequately footnoted, no evidence of copyvio or other policy issues, QPQ is done). Hook is in the article and is supported by source, which says it is the only constellation that depicts an insect. My only concern is with the word "extant". It seems to me that pretty much any constellation that has ever been proposed is still in existence (i.e., extant). In this context, it's clear that the scope of the statement is being limited to constellations that are formally accepted by IAU, but the word "extant" doesn't convey that properly. Could we substitute "recognized"? Or is there another word for this? --Orlady (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- "Official" - there are 88 officially recognised constellations according to the IAU. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 08:52, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Works for me. Let's go with this revised wording:
- ALT1A ... that Musca is the only official constellation that depicts an insect? --Orlady (talk) 13:58, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
