It's better than a stub, though it would be nice to have more references. --Keflavich 17:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Be B[e] Confusion

Be and B[e] stars are not the same thing. B[e] stars display "forbidden" emission lines, but Be stars just have Hydrogen emission lines. The article confuses these two phenomena. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.94.163.79 (talk) 04:45, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

The article is now renamed B(e) star in line with the opening definition, but still lapses into discussions of plain (classical) Be stars. Possibly we need two articles, or one about all Be stars that makes clear the distinctions. 90.201.58.246 (talk) 11:50, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Shell stars

Be stars partially connected to shell stars, although neither Be stars nor shell stars are a subgroup of the other. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 17:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Is "Be" pronounced "bee" or "bee-ee"? Thanks! Geekdiva (talk) 02:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The latter. It's an abbreviation of "B-emission", thus "bee-ee" --SilentWatch (talk) 18:40, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

And B[e] stars are bee-bracket-ee, although it's commonly abbreviated to "bracket-bee" Westerlund1 (talk) 07:03, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

"Be star"

Be star has been nominated for deletion, see Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_January_29#Be_star -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Be star is back! I hope this doesn't rub anyone up the wrong way after going through the process of asking for it to be deleted, then having it redirected. I have rewritten both Be star and B(e) star to hopefully accurately describe each one and clarify how they relate (or don't) to eachother. In the process I have also modified Shell star, although that still needs work, and extensively recategorised the stars involved, particularly the γ Cas and λ Eri variable stars.
