Uranus moons

The number of moons of the planet Uranus

Removed this 'fact' because the current article on Uranus mentions 27 moons. It is silly to include information that is likely to change. The 'fact' soon becomes a counterfactual maintenance problem.

Dispute location note

Addition on 99 to the 99th power preferred to be discussed at 99 (number). At 12 (number), I have noted a discussion is in progress elsewhere (see its talk page). A recent, relevant, edit at century is also on the table.Julzes (talk) 17:51, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Maximum age shown in the article picture is "21+"

Age of consent for heterosexual sex by country
  – puberty
  – less than 12
  – 12
  – 13
  – 14
  – 15
  – 16
  – 17
  – 18
  – 19
  – 20
  – 21+ <---
  – varies by state/province/region/territory
  – must be married
  – no law
  – no data available

In a reverted change performed yesterday by Arthur Rubin motivating it with:

"related, I suppose, but there has no evicence presented that the Age of consent is ever 21)"

I would like to point out that in the picture shown in the Age of consent article (Law section) the maximum age shown is "21+". I don't think is a matter of "evidence" but a matter of roughly considering globally 21 years of age as a maximum age for the so called "age of consent". I am not seeing any "violet" (21+) countries or areas but only "purple" (only married) ones. Anyway I am inviting to discuss this change. Thanks.
