So, your latest edit in [[Greater Roshar]] removed the individual list entries of the ten gas giants. I know that the Rosharan gas giants are boring and that their names are basically just numbers from one to ten, so I understand the urge to summarize them into a single sentence the way you did, but I believe it is more encyclopedic to name ''all'' the planets of the system in the article, not just the noteworthy ones. (There's also the personal reason that I spent time tediously forming that section so I prefer it not to be radically abridged, but that's a minor point.)

: I'd prefer if it were maybe less abridged, by stating that they're named after the Vorin numbers (at least they're named that in the context of the star chart) but having ten lines of <code>;name: this is another gas giant named after a herald</code> isn't useful and actually distracts from the information 'there are ten gas giants on distant orbits' and doesn't really leave space for the stuff about them being far away and whatever that WoB about them is. that's my arguments/opinion anyway --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 12:26, 30 November 2016 (MST)
:: Alright. I edited it to mention the Vorin numbers. I'll need to find the WoB regarding them being too far away to be seen from Roshar. Khriss says that the gas giants have a minor manifestation on Shadesmar, but that doesn't mean they (or at least some of them) aren't visible to the naked eye from Roshar, at least as points of light (the same way we can see Jupiter and Saturn from Earth). Come to think of it, I guess I should include that Shadesmar bit... --[[User:Skaa|Skaa]] ([[User talk:Skaa|talk]]) 21:10, 30 November 2016 (MST)
