  • Support. I have only heard it called the Northern solstice, but google disagrees. Apteva (talk) 05:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Move proposed titles are much clearer and less confusing, but the existing ones should remain as redirects. Ego White Tray (talk) 13:45, 3 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, makes sense. Keep the old titles as redirects per EWT. --213.196.210.189 (talk) 13:47, 5 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

more precise Solstice and Equinox times edit

The English speaking world seems to be limited to approximate Solstice and Equinox times, to about the nearest minute.
The French offer a more precise, to the second, master table:

Most WP readers do not care about this -- but some might like access to the more accurate times. How can we provide such access in a good way? Would we ever want to replace our template master table with a more-precise master table of times? -71.174.188.32 (talk) 19:16, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
