4200 years or 2300 years before it comes back? --rmhermen
:Just to note this is now answered in the article - its period was 4200 years but is now 2380 due to gravitational interaction with Jupiter. ] 16:39, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
:: I assume from reading the article and the above comment that this means its return will be 2380 years from 1997? Article altered accordingly to remove time-sensitive reference. --] ♬ ] 6 July 2005 10:12 (UTC)
:::Yep, your assumption is correct, although we could probably just say it will return around 4380AD, as I would guess the figure of 2380 years could be considered accurate to ±10 years. ] 6 July 2005 11:06 (UTC)

- showing the antitail. ] 04:27, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)

:How do you pronounce it?

::Phonetically, following the usual rules of English. Thus, "Hale" is a homophone with the English word "hail" and "Bopp" rhymes with "pop" or "mop" or "stop". ] 22:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


==Heaven's Gate==
Why no mention of or reference to Heaven's Gate? It's a popular factoid related to Hale-Bop... ] 05:49, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
:Heaven's Gate is mentioned, in fact. See the last sentence of the intro, and the section titled 'paranoia and superstition'. ] 07:57, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

::Also, the ] has its own article thanks to its noteriety. ;) ] 22:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

==Lieder and Stuff==

Since I've been reverted twice by an anonymous editor, I thought I would explain myself. Nancy Lieder, although she is batshit insane, is a public person of some note, appearing on talk radio, running a website and small organization that is itself the subject of a wikipedia page (]). I am interested in including her hprimarily because she has (and to an extent still does) denied the reality of Hale-Bopp, and this seems noteworthy.

Again, I think it is fairly clear that "Paranoia and Superstition" is not a neutral title for a section of an encyclopedia article. I agree that we are citing examples that I, and 62.249.214.195 and almost everybody else would consider to be both superstitious and paranoid. But the people who hold those beliefs obviously would not agree, so I think it is needlessly POV. ] 18:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I might be new here, but I'm confused as to why an article cited as being a top Wiki article has a section headline of 'The Discovery Poop.' Did I miss a few science classes where 'poop' became a legitimate synonym for 'history'?

<blockquote>"Hale-Bopp is the name of a Shot-Cocktail, popular in Europe."</blockquote>
This doesn't seem to be very related to the rest of the information in the "legacy" section, or, really, the article as a whole. Thoughts? ] 19:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

hyphen versus long-dash

Without any RM revisit, maybe there should be a brief blurb in the article that the IAU refers to the comet as Hale-Bopp ... ? That might put some of the concerns to bed without renaming the article/changing MOS. 50.111.24.158 (talk) 14:45, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

The next Great Comets

This would make a logical next section! Grassynoel (talk) 09:53, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

No, it would be way off topic for this article as it would have nothing to do with Hale-Bopp. -- Kheider (talk) 16:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
