List of comets
Good news, ~20-40 people who were seeing my list under construction! I finally finished it! At more than half a million bytes, it's the fourth (almost third) longest article in all of Wikipedia! There's still plenty to do, though. Any help you can do now is appreciated!

A106fgF was an unconfirmed object discovered on 22 January 2018 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). It was discovered in 4 images spanning less than 40 minutes, but was only recognized 6 hours later, by which point it was too late to follow up.
Orbital calculations by several sources including the ATLAS team, JPL Horizons, the Minor Planet Center, and Projectpluto, showed that the object had a 9% chance of impacting Earth at ~19:00 UTC on the same day. With a nominal size of 1-4 meters, it should have been detectable to various fireball-detecting satellites as a fireball with an energy of 0.02-2.6 kilotons. If it did hit, it would have impacted over a region between the south Atlantic Ocean, southern Africa, the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, or in the western Pacific ocean near Chuuk. An impact further west (in the Atlantic) would have meant the asteroid was discovered further away, and therefore larger, and further east (in the Pacific) would have meant that the asteroid was discovered nearer, and therefore smaller.

Two distinct albedoes among the members, possibly an overlapping asteroid group or another asteroid that impacted Juno |
Notes
- The vast majority of this mass comes from 2 Pallas, with only 1E17 kg (0.04% of the mass) from every other member of the family
- 3 Juno makes up such a massive proportion of this family's mass that the mass is virtually the same with only Juno included, the other asteroids making up less than 0.02% of the total group mass
