Talk:G Scorpii

Ryan Magee

It would be really cool of whichever mod runs this page (if that's how wikipedia works idk) to allow their to be the addition of a 'Popular Culture' section to the page, as to reference episode 191 of the popular internet show SuperMegaCast (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=71PPTUAWuBY), hosted by Matt Watson and Ryan Magee, where in the former purchase the star for the latter, naming it after him. He section should note that the name 'Ryan Magee'is unrecognized and unofficial. If you could let this happen that would be great thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.15.175.29 (talk) 19:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

In defense of Ryan Magee

Wikipedia is a place for history, Matt "the brat" Wattson buying this star is a part of history. I think you guys should allow us to display history. Thank you PSYCHOROVER (talk) 18:30, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, you got scammed. You bought a piece of paper that says you named a star, but you didn't actually name a star. You are rapidly heading towards being completely blocked from Wikipedia, IP address, and all linked accounts, for an awful long time. Talking is a start, but you're already on about your tenth account, so you're in a pretty deep hole. Lithopsian (talk) 19:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Do you have proof that this is one person on multiple accounts or are you unaware of the fact that multiple people watch/listen to the same thing? 86.106.87.108 (talk) 03:55, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

In Popular Culture:

In honor and request of the Internet Sensation SuperMega and Matthew Watson's purchase of the star G Scorpii.

SuperMegaCast Ep 192 - The Cult Of SuperMega - "...throw somewhere in there like like uh this make a section where it's cause you know there's nomenclature properties See Also, add another section where it's like 'Pop Culture'

In the popular podcast "SuperMegaCast" in episode 191, "...uh... Matthew Watson (Podcast Host and American Let's Player)...uh...purchased this star and owns the rights to the star Ryan... an- it- ca.. and named it Ryan Magee and owns the star to this day." — Preceding unsigned comment added by maybewavezii (talk • contribs) 18:51, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

If you want to write about (notable) fiction, try Stars in fiction. Usually, a see also link is added to the star article if there is fiction related to it. Only real-life things related to the star are usually included in the article, for example its use on flags or for naming ships. Some very notable fictional references are sometimes included, but I suspect this isn't one of them, however much you like SuperMegaCast. Lithopsian (talk) 19:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Definition of Fiction - a belief or statement that is false, but that is often held to be true because it is expedient to do so. This situation can not be labeled as "fiction" or "notable fiction" as it has legitimate evidence to be true as noted and stated by Matthew Watson in both SuperMegaCast Episodes number 190 & 191. Evidence that this star is bought and named Ryan Magee by Matthew watson can be found there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maybewavezii (talk • contribs) 20:26, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

OK, I'm not chasing that white rabbit down any holes. Instead I'll quote some Wikipedia policies and fervently hope that you take notice: sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry is the use of multiple accounts by a single person or by multiple persons effectively controlled by a single person, either of which is an instant ban more or less forever. You're basically there, so take a step back. I'm assuming good faith that you don't know these things yet, but now you do. WP:NOTABLE describes what can go in Wikipedia and what can't, while WP:RELIABLE describes the sources that can be used to demonstrate notability and support claims made in an article. Anything without any references is likely to be deleted, up to and including entire articles. You can continue your philsophical arguments about whether a podcast is fiction or not, but I'm going to strongly encourage you to pick one account to do it from and stick to that one account. Lithopsian (talk) 20:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Bro actually just threatens to ban someone with no proof the moment their argument falls apart. This is clearly something that could be put in a pop culture section, but you're just being a dick for no reason threatening to ban people. God some people take shit way too seriously 2601:801:101:1E0:5306:61DB:3F7C:CA62 (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

This is incredibly embrassing for you and Im genuinely surprised your still allowed to moderate. I implore you to remove your ego and put your snowflake feelings aside when moderating such important information in the future. 184.71.102.234 (talk) 18:43, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

This is my only account, and I haven't been sockpuppeting. Thanks for the sources though :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maybewavezii (talk • contribs) 22:23, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Ryan Magee

There should at least be a small mention of the star being known as Ryan Magee, all I want is a single sentence that lists the other name. Matthew Watson rightfully bought the star and named it Ryan Magee and I think this article should reflect that. NoName415 (talk) 04:01, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Ryan Magee Star

According to the official U.S. Star Registry, this star, now named "Ryan Magee", is now owned by Matt Wattson of Supermega, an american letsplay Youtube channel, and was purchased during the popular podcast "SuperMegaCast" episode 191, where this star was purchased, and he received his official certificate confirming his ownership of this star.

Semi-protected edit request on 16 May 2020

add 'pop culture' section referencing the YouTube podcast Supermegacast from channel Supermega in which Matt Watson purchased this star, naming it after his co-host, 'Ryan Magee'. Stylofi (talk) 04:13, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

This is more a verifiability problem than a genuine content dispute. Warned and reported. Nardog (talk) 23:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Although there is a verifiability problem with something that occurred in a YouTube video, there is also a content problem. The name was (probably) registered as described, but that is not an official way of naming stars. So, at best, the content would be a description of the video where the star is being discussed, but certainly not any formal new name for the star. Lithopsian (talk) 14:44, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

In this article, I think that the yue of the name fuyue may be this yue >悦< because we are in modern china.

P.S I am chinese.

Popularization

In light of a recent revival of the discussion of G. Scorpii and the validity of the colloquial name "Ryan Magee", It is worth noting that the popularity of G. Scorpii is in large part due to the antics of popular internet variety channel SuperMega. For that reason, Myself and many others SuperMega fans believe that an addition to this page to recognize this fact is overdue.

The following is a draft I've written for a possible addition to a popular culture section:

G Scorpii was unofficially dubbed "Ryan Magee" as of May 9th of 2020 by Youtube variety channel SuperMega. G Scorpii, known by fans of SuperMega as "Ryan Magee", was popularized by internet podcasters Ryan Magee and Matt Watson during episode 191 of the SuperMegaCast. During the episode, titled "SuperMegaCast - EP 191: Matt Buys a Star", Youtuber Matt Watson purchases a certificate claiming ownership over G. Scorpii (colloquially known as "Ryan Magee") for approximately 98 US Dollars and renames the star to "Ryan Magee", in homage to his co-host. The validity of Watson's ownership of the star is debatable. Brownpilled (talk) 19:11, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

We stand with you! 49.176.229.106 (talk) 21:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

We can all sympathise with how grating the bleating cries of these so called "fans" of these creators (who should be referred to as Let's Players) have been over the years, and all nurture a deep disgust for the scam practice of selling star ownership.

This parable has proven an excellent example of the folly of the practice, and would serve as a cautionary tale for others if commemorated in a very short sentence. Preferably one emphasising the financial failure of M. Watson to become a positively associated with this astral body. Plexus0 (talk) 22:57, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Don't be so hoity toity Plexus. You do realize that languages and words evolve over time, even names... who would have thought? You can look up at a dot lightyears away and name it whatever you want and if enough people used that name it would eventually become its name, I don't get why this is such a hard concept for you or Lithopsian to wrap your brains around. Official names don't mean anything to people outside of scientific fields, literally no one else but people who work in fields pertaining to this star would refer to it by G Scorpii or Fuyewe. In fact, no one outside of Astrology had probably even heard of this star until the podcast episodes. To not include it as an UNOFFICIAL name labelled as such is extremely petty and reeks of power tripping 14.201.80.78 (talk) 13:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Real, the fact they won't even add it as an unofficial name in popular culture reeks of pettiness 2601:801:101:1E0:591A:20D4:111F:8263 (talk) 15:09, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Alright, Plexus, I'll bite.

First and foremost, referring to us as "Let's Players" is a compliment, not an insult. It's a badge of honor and valor that we wear proudly, the same way a military officer wears his little colorful badges and pins on his shirt. The title of "creator", which you believe doesn't apply to us, does in fact apply... because we're about to be "creating" quite a historical scene by setting the record straight on this star... Mayhaps instead of applying labels to others, you should list your accolades and crowning achievements, Mr. "Wikipedia Mod". Oh wait, there aren't any...

And now, the truth bomb. I have official government documentation to support the FACT that I, Matthew Watson, bought and own the celestial object Ryan Magee (also known as G Scorpii to some). Don't believe me? Well, looks like you're about to be cherry red with embarrassment: Take a look at this, brother.

I'll be eagerly awaiting your apology, "Plexus" (if that even is your real name). TheRealMattWatson (talk) 21:09, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Plexus just got owned and Astrology-pilled by one of the funny brothers. I do have to deduct points however for the lack of Incredible Hulk references which the 'star' funny brother would have certainly made 14.201.80.78 (talk) 01:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

This is your punishment for not putting ryan’s Polynesian sub in the thumbnail. You must see this through to the end 2600:1700:71D4:8D00:7D38:C441:241A:6E88 (talk) 13:32, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Well well, if it isn't the big cheese. I've heard about you for years Mr. Watson. But you're in my realm now.

Your Pelosi-ridden certificates mean naught to me, mon frere. Why, for all you know I could have repurchased the rights to "your" supposed star with my oodles of Wikipedia dono cash to name it back. Perchance have you looked upon the astral database lately? Pft. That's what I thought.

But I'll show mercy, Mr. Watson. I restate my earnest and polite bid for a Popular Culture section to be added to this article, describing how your humourous and foolish adventures turned this beautiful red ball into an overnight sensation, and serve as a lesson to other victims of the American education system who may avoid such embarrasment in the future.

As for my accolades you are so quick to spurn, please refer to this image I've generously hosted for you displaying my achievements at the 2016 embroidery semi-finals. Plexus0 (talk) 11:23, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Before we start tearing each other's throats out, might I mention that we could be arguing about the wrong star?

I looked up the right ascension and declination shown on Matt's document, and they associate with the star Epsilon Pegasi (also known as Enif) in the Pegasus constellation, not G Scorpii of the Scorpius constellation. The provided documentation also notes that the "Ryan Magee" star is in the Pegasus constellation, not Scorpius. It pains me to say we may have been arguing about the wrong star the whole time. I'm so sorry, Matt. (Sources: Wikipedia, GlyphWeb, Sky&Telescope, AstronomyTrek, star-facts.com)

I personally would love to say "Look up in the sky, children. That little speck right there is Ryan Magee. He watches over us all, you know.", if for nothing else than my own amusement, imagining a low-opacity Renaissance painting of Ryan staring down from the heavens. I also appreciate a solid, focused Wikipedia article that doesn't sweat the small stuff. I think Brownpilled's suggestion for an edit is a good compromise between the two sides. Humor has a place on Wikipedia, it's just very carefully curated so that it fits a professional setting. The Wikipedia page for Boaty McBoatface is a great example of this balance, and could serve as an example to work off of.

Apologies if I'm sticking my nose in places where I don't belong, just trying to help keep the peace.

Do not weaponize this response, it's not meant to belittle either side. 97.123.78.77 (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
