Dear Curator,
I am the author of A861446
considering events at the International Astronomical Union
the last sentence of this article should say there are eight planets.
Also perhaps it might make more sense to shorten the title droppintg the words Semi-Planet.

Indeed the IAU at one point favoured demoting Pluto to the status of KBO. Pluto is, and will remain, a planet. Quaoar will probably never be one, so if anyone asks how many planets are in our Solar System the answer is, and will remain, nine.

Indeed, the IAU has now demoted Pluto to the status of planetoid.
If you raise these points in <./>feedback-editorial</.> they'll be dealt with quicker. That's the proper place for them, y'know.
