I know this is very old, but...

On a 9-year old dicussion on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Astronomy/Archive_15, you stated that using the Abell Catalogue, you found more than 260 galaxies bigger than 1 million light years. The largest you found is located in the constellation Camelopardalis and has a 15 million light year diameter. I know these sizes could be including radio jets, and I know you may cringe at these, but I am just curious. After all, you stated that there are still many galaxies with a similar size range as Abell 1413-BCG. I am sorry if I appear grasping, and I apologize if I seem to talk too much about Abell 1413-BCG. It's just that it does not have an R90 measurement and is stated to be one of the largest galaxies known in research papers, which you pointed out to me in March of this year. Sorry, that discussion just piqued my interest in that particular galaxy, and others like it.

Sorry, but...

9 years ago, you made a list containing over 260 galaxies larger than 1 million light years. The largest galaxy you listed had a 15 million light year estimated diameter! I am sorry if I am beating a dead horse, but I am very curious because I wonder how galaxies such as Abell 1413-BCG, ESO 383-76, ESO 248-6, etc. Are placed in that old list of yours. I would also like to know what that galaxy with the ridiculous 15 million light year diameter is, and whether it is on the current list of largest galaxies.
