The map overlaps most of the lefthand part of the table with 800x600 resolution (occurs with Opera 7.10 and Internet Explorer 6). Perhaps a thumbnail could be uploaded? -- Notheruser 21:08 Apr 12, 2003 (UTC)

Added external link to www.nightskyinfo.com/constellations/andromeda. This is my page about the constellation. I'm planing to add more links in the future from other constellation pages in Wikipedia, as I develop new constellation articles on my site. Do you find the information useful?Thanks!

Nice article, but since the three "stars" of Andromeda constellation are three galaxies, isn't the information in the table, untruthful?
Now,
  1. Adding this external link to Andromeda is IMHO a good idea, as long as copyrights are mutually respected,
  2. Dear friends astronomers (amateurs and professionals), please don't forget to add ~~~~ (four tildes), so I can see who's talking! Said: Rursus 13:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

This whole thing was copied and pasted off of http://www.answers.com/topic/andromeda-constellation. The copyright issues are issued to the Columbia University Press. Did they agree on this? Everything is a litterally word from word copy and paste. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FrazierLocke (talkcontribs).

Actually Answers.com took it from Wikipedia. – Torsten Bronger 06:12, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
