Talk:Palynology

message: *I don't think the Thanikaimoni references are suitable for this article. They've no direct bearing on the content of the article, and if we all added similarly specific works of mnay other prominent palynologists then the article would quickly turn into a nonsense. Unless anyone can give a valid reason they should remain, I'll edit them out next week. NickW 08:43, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: This wiki article gave a more focused approach on the proxy data in the field of Palynology versus the article of paleoceanography. It gave good examples and good images to describe what the field of science it dealt. It explains the use of proxy well and has a link to another wiki page to further explain proxy. One thing that I happened to notice was a lack of newer material which would be useful, But it does show the application of palynology and how it can be used in multiple methods and fields of science. All the sources are old and should be updated to more recent times, for instance newer peer-reviewed articles. This is crucial in my opinion because we have newer technologies to enhance small particles that otherwise weren’t seen with the naked eye as well as older technologies. It also lacks sources and wide range of data can be collected if more academic journals and peer reviewed articles were present.

thread_title: Dead link

message: I think Palynomorph and Palynology cover much of the same ground and should be merged.  As it stands, the latter article says more about the former anyway, and trying to maintain two different articles would unnecessarily spread the coverage of a single topic too thin.  — Æµ§œš¹ [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 12:41, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: I'm no expert but this seems to be just one aspect of Palynology and would be better as a section there? PatHadley (talk) 18:56, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Palynofacies]] 

message: The article hits on the data analyses of the method, which matched up to what I read online about palynology from other credible sources. But the article did not mention a lot of assumptions about the proxy method. During the introduction of palynology it discussed some of the “roots” of palynology. In the last section it mentions applications of palynology and lists out different things it can be used for. The article also points out a lot of the strengths of the proxy method, like the different applications, as well as the different ways palynofacies can be used. But it doesn't mention the weaknesses or what the proxy method is not useful for. 
 Palynology. Austin, Tex: American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists, 1977. Internet resource. 
Tschudy, Robert H, and Richard A. Scott. Aspects of Palynology. New York: Wiley-Interscience, 1969. Print.
The two sources that I found were not listed on the Wikipedia page, but the first source came from the American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists, and the wikipedia page had other sources about palynology that came from the same authors as the article that I found. The second however was not on the wikipedia page. 
I recommend that in the applications section there is a more broad definition and information about how it can be used. It lists out a lot of examples of things that it is currently being used for but there could be more broad information about it. I also recommend that there are more pictures added to the Chemical Preparation section, I think that's an area where a visual example would help to get a better understanding.

thread_title:  Suggestions 

message: The earliest reported observations of pollen under a microscope are likely to have been in the 1640s by the English botanist Nehemiah Grew.
:How is that possible if he was only born in 1641? It has to be some other decade, although several sources give this one. Adeliine (talk) 14:04, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: The article gives the impression that an article on pollen analysis has been incompletely altered to include other aspects of modern palynology. The history section in particular does nothing to explain how the area of study was broadened from the anlaysis of pollen and spores to include other microfossils and microorganic objects.
