Mexico cliam untrue.

Look at the 2017 eclipse article; it shows, and tells, that all of Mexico will see that one first. as such, I'm removing from this article. ThuranX (talk) 11:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism

This change appears to be vandalism—a bunch of dates were edited to be made incorrect, various citations removed, etc. I'm not sure how to fix changes that happened several reversions ago, and I also might be missing something. I'm reverting to the pre-edit version, but someone might want to take a look at the changes since then. —MillingMachine (talk) 12:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

everything looks good, definitely vandalism. Glad you caught it. Slipped off my radar somehow. --TimL (talk) 12:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Other eclipses crossing the United States

I wonder about the accuracy/relevance of this section. Not every US eclipse article includes -- and I note that the eclipse of 7 March 1970, which went uo the (heavily populated) Eastern seaboard, was not included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.35.117 (talk) 15:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

What is the length of maximum totality in makanda Illinois

I looked everywhere I could think of and couldn't find an answer 2601:704:200:41F0:8182:FCA0:1D3:92B9 (talk) 04:53, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Exhaustive list of places

I am not convinced of the value of naming so many places the eclipse will visit. I can understand drawing attention to particular places where third party reliable sources have given coverage (for example) to notable, eclipse-related events, but we are now at the point where we are seemingly naming almost every insignificant little town where totality passes. In does not seem very encyclopedic to me. I would appreciate the thoughts of others. -- Scjessey (talk) 21:25, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Requesting a redirect to this page

Could someone add a redirect from the non-existent page Solar eclipse of April 8 to this article, please? Some software doesn't correctly parse URLs with commas, which causes links to the correct article to fail. Also, I imagine that a lot of people will be searching for "solar eclipse of april 8" over the next couple of years, so having such a redirect could help them find the page more easily. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.6.245.56 (talk) 20:18, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Incidentally, it's easy to make an account, do some editing under that account, and get the same powers. Jim.henderson (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
