Talk:In situ

message: The part about DNA suggests it is inconsistent with the literal meaning of the phrase. But I think that it just means that the DNA is "in situ" or in its natural environment (the cell) instead of on a gel or something. I'm not changing it because I'm not quite sure.

Above sounds about right especially when talking about whole-mount in situ hybridization.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.123.143 (talk) 22:35, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I changed the title of the Geography section to Earth science, in order to include all of geology, hydrology, etc.  The text discusses the use of in situ in the field of physical geography, which may be considered a sub-discipline of Earth science.  --BlueCanoe 00:22, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: One year ago, December 2005, there were only 3 or 4 paragraphs to this article, covering maybe 3 topics.  What a difference a year has made, about topics that I was not aware of. (from the Sonoran Desert in Arizona)..--Mmcannis 05:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: For those who don't speak Latin, a proper sounding would be ideal here.  I added one in but my IPA is fairly rusty, so please correct if you deem it necessary.  Looks like it can be said multiple ways as well, I used the first pronunciation that was listed (and sounded out) on dictionary.com.  Bradenmcg (talk) 22:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This is my first addition to wikipedia, so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong here, but I just wanted to add I think there should be a section for Mining. This is from Earthworksaction.org: "Usually when agencies of the federal government consider permitting environmentally harmful activity (like, say, mining), they must review the potential impacts of the activity in EACH LOCATION the activity occurs. If a mining company wants to build a mine in Nevada, and another in Alaska, each must be reviewed with a separate Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Now, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is trying to avoid individual environmental reviews for several proposed in-situ uranium mines in South Dakota, Wyoming, New Mexico and Nebraska. Instead, they have proposed one generic EIS to cover all the proposed mine sites." I just pasted that as an example of why it's important to explain in-situ as it pertains to mining. I don't have a definition for it, so I haven't updated the page. I just wanted to bring it to light that it should be added.

message: "Satellite Identification and Tracking Unit" -- This section doesn't belong in this article; it's different from the Latin phrase in situ and should be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 (talk) 14:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

message: What is the point of this article?  The definition of in situ belongs in wiktionary.  The huge pile of examples adds little to the definition.  It seems little different from having an article that defines, say, "large" and then gives a bunch of situations in which things are described as being large.

replies: text:  I'd agree, and with the user who tagged this as DICDEF in August. Every section talks about in situ as a "term", and rightly, as that's what it is. Let's continue the discussion at AfD. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:21, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  DICDEF: Why does this article even exist? 

message: Some technical articles begin with "In-situ" with a hyphen, such as In-situ leach and other articles begin with "In situ" without a hyphen, such as In situ oxidation.  Which of these should be preferred? The search engine provides both. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:08, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  In-situ or In Situ, with or without a hyphen? 

message: This seems to me an totally unnecessary page.  Pure waste of the energy of disturbing poor innocent electrons.
 
In situ means on site. Period.  There is no need for separate discussions of what that needs in a dozen different professions.
If there a "vaporize entry" function around this joint anyplace?
