message: There it was, hidden away in a dark corner, the unambiguous term we were looking for: Geomorphometry. I feel like I want to move this whole %$!@ing article there. What a word!--Natcase 05:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge with [[Geomorphometry]]

message: Search for "poop."  Looks like someone thought that'd be funny.. Maybe someone would know what the word was meant to be?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.189.243.71 (talk) 15:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hmm, that's not right... 

message: Topography is not simply a geography concept. It is a generalized mathematical concept used to indicate the patterned or general organization of features on any map. THis is especially true in artificial intelligence or the analysis of brain function. In these cases we talk about the topographic organization of feature maps, and other uses also related to mapping of brain surface http://www.google.com.sg/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=topographic+organization Basically if a surface map has patterns on it, one can speak of topography of the surface http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=963773. The usage of the word topography as the detailing of patterns for geometric objects generally is recognized in other encyclopedias and requires a subheading here http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_1861720933/topography.html . These usages are distinct from topology which usually details the connectedness and archetypal nature of the space, rather than the surface organization of values for a particular function or the distribution of variables in a space.

thread_title: Topography is a mathematical concept

message: I think what this article is trying to be about is "Surface Geology", particularly in reference to planetary science.  There is no wiki article for that topic.  Topography refers specifically to relief. I propose a split of the article into the two topics or at least a redirect handled appropriately.--EvenGreenerFish (talk) 02:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wrong edits 

message: How can "local history and culture" be a form of topography?  I was tempted to slap a "citation needed" on it, but I'm struggling to conceive how it could ever be cited.  What does it even mean?  It's not discussed in the body of the article, only the lead, so it hardly belongs here, even if it is a real thing.  SpinningSpark 14:42, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
