Information icon Hi Lion's the Tiger! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Axial precession several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Axial precession, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. When new material is reverted, the onus is on the editor adding material to achieve a consensus to add the material.. Constant314 (talk) 03:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I don't see what there is to discuss. I could not find an up-to-date calendar/map of the zodiac constellations, so I created one myself. I doubt you will find one as clear and up to date anywhere else and it has many uses when it comes to Astronomy, and I thought it would make a great addition to the axial precession page so people could see with their own eyes. That is all I have to say on the matter except it will always be available for free on wiki commons for whomever would like view or use it.

I am sure that there is a place for something like that in some other article. Please do not feel discouraged. Constant314 (talk) 15:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In Wikipedia we expect anything more than simple calculations to be cited to a reliable source. Figuring out where the March equinox is in any astronomical coordinate system is anything but simple. Also, the points that defines the boundaries of the coordinates must be obtained from some authoritative source, then plotted on the same coordinate system as being used for the equinox. This is anything but a simple calculation. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your concern, and you are absolutely correct; I know from my own personal experience of over 18 years observing that pinpointing where the March equinox is in the astronomical coordinate system is anything but simple. Since 2006 I have been comparing the day and night sky with Cybersky 3.3.1 educational and research software which calculates astronomical time down to the second and can look back and forward in time 4,000 years. My problem is I am not very good at this website stuff and am not sure how to properly cite the source. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you might be able to offer.
