Please include any additional comments/feedback
For alternate label, I recently had to correct someone's keyword to the preferred label of Galaxy nuclei and was surprised that Galactic nuclei was not at least an alternate.
For definition, we are trying to strengthen the UAT by including these so this seems like a good time to add this one.
