If you disagree with its silly undeletion, please explain why on its schmaltz page or at [[BJAODN]]. If this page obviously does not meet the erotica for speedy depletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from articles that you have created or desysopped yourself.

Administrators, remember to check if anything links here and there (such as Amtrak or American Airlines) and the page mystery before having sex or horsing around, or doing some other wild thing.</div>

Hi, I'm Richard the Nudnik. I'm a guy. I think. Let me check. Still not sure. Whoopie do. Does anyone want to give me a back rub?
I haven't been around in a while, cuz I felt no need to. :)

If you disagree with the [[International Astronomical Union]] definition of "planet", [http://www.petitiononline.com/Plutopla/petition.html click here]

== Personal idea for [[Definition of planet|classification of worlds]] ==
  	 ⏎
 		   	 ⏎
 		 ⏎
⏎

It would be more useful to classify worlds as follows: 	 ⏎
 		  	 ⏎
 		 ⏎
⏎

'''Icy or rocky planets''' are objects which are icy or rocky, with little atmosphere, and round due to gravity, whether they orbit a planet, star, or nothing. This would include Pluto, Charon, Ceres, Mercury, the Moon, Xena, and Sedna, as well as other similar bodies. 	 ⏎
	  	 ⏎
	 ⏎
⏎

'''Terrestial planets''' are objects which are round due to gravity, rocky or icy, and in possession of a substantial atmosphere and/or oceanic surface. Please notice that, under my definition, round moons are planets, because the orbital mechanics of a world are not necessarily as important as other characteristics of the world in question. This is what happens when you leave it up to astronomers to define objects in the sky - they get wrapped up in orbital mechanics. What about what's in the ground or the air? This would include Earth, Mars, (perhaps) Europa, Venus, Titan, etc. 	 ⏎
	  	 ⏎
	 ⏎
⏎

'''Gaseous planets''' are the gas giants, such as Jupiter, Saturn, and several of the planets discovered looping around nearby stars. 	 ⏎
  	 ⏎
 ⏎
⏎

'''Brown dwarfs''' are not stars, because they don't rely much on the basic fusion energies that bodies such as red dwarfs and yellow dwarfs and giants do, and never did. They aren't planets, either, because of deutrium burning and much production of their own energy. They are an intermediate category. '''White dwarfs''', '''black dwarfs''', '''black holes''', and '''neutron stars''' are stars or will be stars (black dwarfs aren't supposed to exist yet) because of their past fusion activities. 	 ⏎
  	 ⏎
 ⏎
⏎

'''Asteroids''' are rocky, irregularly shaped objects. 	 ⏎
 		  	 ⏎
 		 ⏎
⏎

'''Comets''' are icy, irregularly shaped objects. 	 ⏎
 		  	 ⏎
 		 ⏎
⏎

'''Moons''' are planets, asteroids, or comets in orbit of another planet, asteroid, or comet; I'm willing to extend this definition to any object orbiting another object, including Earth. Thus, Earth would be a moon of the Sun, while the Moon is a moon of the Earth, and Pluto and Charon are moons of each other. It would be a simple definition, reducing the essence of "moonness" to one characteristic: it has to orbit something. 	 ⏎
		  	 ⏎
		 ⏎
⏎

'''Classical planets''' would be the nine worlds considered to be planets for most of the twentieth century. '''Proto-classical planets''' would include the worlds discovered by the ancients. 	 ⏎
  	 ⏎
 ⏎
⏎

I disagree with whatever rubbish the IAU is trying to scribble as the definition of a "planet", on the ground that their attempt at defining "planet" is overly complex and problematic, as well as that people ought to have freedom to define the term "planet".

Oh yeah, and we ought to take the ten largest known worlds in our solar system and put them in a category entitled '''Ten Largest Planets'''. <nowiki></nowiki> &mdash; [[User:Rickyrab|Rickyrab]] | [[User talk:Rickyrab|Talk]] 18:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC) (relocation from [[Talk:2006 redefinition of planet]]: <nowiki></nowiki> &mdash;  [[User:Rickyrab|Rickyrab]] | [[User talk:Rickyrab|Talk]] 15:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC))
