Talk:Fog

message: Do we really need all those images? --Thorpe 17:34, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, but on the other hand is there a compelling reason to remove them? Pcb21 Pete 22:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes there is. Per WP:Images: "Articles that use more than one image should present a variety of material near relevant text. Three uniformed portraits would be redundant for a biography of a famous general. ... Images should be large enough to reveal relevant detail without overwhelming the surrounding article text." There are too many images on the page illustrating the same thing. They need to be organized so that redundant images are removed and so that the images can be connected to the different types of fog being discussed. I don't know much about the topic, or else I would've done this already. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 03:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, some of the images were named according to what type of fog they were, so I went ahead and formatted the pictures. I removed one or two duplicate images, and left the better quality one. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I am reading the article for the first time. The number of images, their size, and placement really screw up the flow of the article. I would recommend reducing to one of two images, if possible.Cdcon 22:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I aligned the images along one side, and set all but the first one to use the readers's default "thumb" size instead of specifying one for each image.  I think this is much cleaner. Johntex\talk 04:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Even cleaner - all to default size... L/wangi 12:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Added section cleanup tags for the images sections. There are way too many images in gallery--upload them all to commons and wipe out the galleries, gang; there's already a  link here! - Ageekgal (talk) 05:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Since galleries are one of those items mentioned on the "what wikipedia is not" page, it has been removed.  We have enough images already. Thegreatdr (talk) 23:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Images

message: I was going to add this photo to commons: http://www.pbase.com/wangi/image/55500828, however this article already seems to be overloaded with photos, as noted above. I'll upload it if other people agree and we can decide which existing photo(s) to remove. Fair enough? thanks/wangi 14:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another photo 

message: Although it appears to be a nice article, there is only one external reference, which throws its B status in doubt.  More references are needed for this page to keep its B.  Thegreatdr 21:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Catagorization 

message: The article is inconsistent with respect to the relative air humidity. On the one hand it says that fog forms when it reaches 100% at ground level, but on the other hand it says that drizzle occurs when it attains 100%. They cannot both be right.

thread_title:  Relative humidity 

message: Has anyone noticed that everything sounds different when it's foggy? Sounds carry a lot further and I always find it a little disorientating how close everything sounds. I assume it is because of different acoustic properties air depending on the humidity but the only thing I can find online about it is this  (which I don't understand :(   ). Maybe someone who understands acoustics could add a paragraph about it. --Kick the cat 03:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fog sounds 

message: So far got the definition of fog, but would greatly appreciated if someone add a section that describes how fog is form and maintained (e.g. water droplets is held in the air molecules.)fog is formed by the change in humidity idk it shows it on the thing
Yep, it's a very confused article. Fog is like cloud? well yes in the sense that fog is like the steam that comes out of your kettle as well, it's all about condensed water droplets in suspension in the air, but actually fog is formed in several different ways and normally nothing to do with clouds so it's misleading and confusing.Timbow001 (talk) 12:06, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  How fog is formed 

message: In one certain place, just outside tall woods and by a lake, I found that if the weather conditions are correct, the fog causes echoes off of the trees. Could this have been found by anyone else?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.56.203.22 (talk) 03:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  sound and fog 

message: Ariticle dont not say. Is there Acid Fog as well as acid rain  from industrial pollution? ORBEGADO (talk) 20:57, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unusal QUESTION is  "ACID FOG" AS WELL AS ACID RAIN? 

message: Sometimes fog is too bright white, and it’s not very comfortable for eyes. This might happen in sunny days.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.25.89.238 (talk) 21:44, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hurting eyes 

message: What weather condition would be the exact opposite of fog, and what are some of the places that never have fog (or have the very least of it)---I think this article should address these issues. 173.28.244.122 (talk) 03:24, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anti-fog and fog-less places 

message: I live in the Lake Geneva area of Switzerland, and it's very foggy in autumn and winter.  I'm not sure why this needs a citation, it's a fact.  Cite me if you wish!

replies: text: Thanks, but citations don't work like that. Wikipedia deals with verifiable facts. Someone evidently thought this passage needs to be verified, so it would be really helpful if you could find a reliable source. As a local resident, you probably can find one.

thread_title:  Citation for Southern Europe fog 

message: Just to be absolutely clear to those who may thing that clouds are made of water vapor you should change the wording to say liquid water droplets?
StressTensor (talk) 22:47, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  That should be liquid water droplets. 

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Dense fog over Indian Subcontinent.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 21, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-03-21. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:20, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[:File:Dense fog over Indian Subcontinent.jpg]]

message: The structure of the article had degenerated to a messy hodgepodge, so I attempted to reorganize it more logically including the images.  Also, the captions needed major reworking. Missing topics include visibility effects and mitigation, sound propagation and acoustic effects, and influence on historic events (including notable battles and accidents).  Better coverage of formation mechanisms is needed, including the effects of condensation nuclei, microscopic effects, and wind agitation.  The two microscopic photos lack any scale information, and should be replaced with better-documented images.  Reify-tech (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Reorganization and improvements needed

message: The text in this section needs much improvement, plus some references. The primary effect I've noticed in dense fog is rapid attenuation of high frequencies, and not a strengthening of sound transmission.  I'm sure there is a physical explanation involving the fog droplets and absorption of sound energy. I would guess that apparent strengthening of sounds in some cases is due to refraction or bending of soundwaves due to differential density of the atmosphere.  Can anybody with a relevant background in acoustics, meteorology, or atmospheric physics lend a hand here?  Reify-tech (talk) 20:50, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sound propagation and acoustic effects 

message: The definition given is confusing by claiming that some fog does NOT touch the ground. This is a novel concept; certainly not widely held.
In contrast, here is National Geographic's first sentence explaining the difference between a Cloud and Fog -- "Fog is a cloud that touches the ground."
http://education.nationalgeographic.com/encyclopedia/fog/
I respectfully urge this dramatically less confusing sentence be used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DDilworth (talk • contribs) 20:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fog Touches the ground by definition 

message: The contributors certainly know their fog, but this article is one of the most difficult articles I've ever tried to read.  The grammar needs lots of help in order to have the sentences flow.  Too misplaced commas, run-on sentences, you name it.  Please, someone, edit this article for ease of reading.  Peace.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaaches (talk • contribs) 09:15, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
