Hi,

At Naming is written « after minor planet Pluto, itself a newly coined name ». But the (as-this-time-)planet Pluto name comes from the god Pluto (see Pluto#Name) and not at all a « newly coined name ».

Yes, that is correct, but the naming of plutonium (AN=94, synthesized 1940) followed from the planet, in keeping with the names of the formerly discovered and named elements uranium (AN=92) and neptunium (AN=93, discovered 1939). The planets were of course named for the figures in Greek/Roman mythology, Uranus in 1781, Neptune in 1846, and Pluto in 1930. SkoreKeep (talk) 16:05, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the infobox to read here instead "after dwarf planet Pluto, itself named after classical god of the underworld Pluto". Double sharp (talk) 15:23, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has suggested that this article may need to undergo a featured article review, citing in particular the cleanup tags present in the article. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can find one inconsequential drive-by {{clarify}} tag and one rather trivial {{globalize}} tag in the entire article. None of which have been clarified on the talk page or even an edit summary. Kolbasz (talk) 01:35, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been bold and have removed the tags. I don't think clarification is needed and agree that the "globalize" tag should have been followed-up by the tagger here. Graham Beards (talk) 09:51, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nikkimaria, please ask the editor to raise the concerns here. Axl ¤ [Talk] 13:23, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
