[edit] Unit Disagreement

There seems to be an ongoing disagreement about whether to use British-English or American-English in the article. I believe the policy is to stick to the original form the article was written in and to be consistent within the article. PhySusie (talk) 11:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Here is a link to the Wikipedia policy Wikipedia:Manual of Style PhySusie (talk) 11:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The original form was American English. It was later switched to British English, per a very weak consensus. It was my misunderstanding, and it has been properly reverted back to British English. (There really ought to be a comment at the top of the edit page to let you know.)—RJH (talk)

[edit] Great Dark Spot

Do you know Great Dark Spot is not a permanent storm? See commons:Category:Neptune (atmosphere), sometimes the great dark spot wears outwhen the disc is greener, most often the disc is rich blue.--Freewayguy ^{What's up?} 23:38, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

The lifetime of Dark Spots is only a few years. Since 70-th several such spots appeared/disappeared in southern and northern hemispheres. Ruslik (talk) 08:43, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
