Talk:Climatology

message: As far as I can tell, if Galton had such an impact on meteorology such as inventing the weather map or the term anticyclone, surely it would be on his biographical page or in some meteorology text book.  Redfield and Loomis may be the first ones to construct weather maps, from the references I linked to from the Surface Analysis - Weather page.  Also, inserted the word past in there more often to help emphasize the fact that climatology is the study of past weather events.  Added Helmut Landsberg biography into wikipedia, due to his enormous importance to the field of climatology. Thegreatdr 16:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I ask the original author to come forward in this talk and state which reference format they would wish for this page the ref format or direct links from the body of the text.  Someone just switched reference style away from what the Tropical Cyclone pages are moving towards, which I thought was not supposed to be done unless they were the author.

thread_title: Reference style for climatology pages - what is it?

message: Per a response to a question I posed within the climate and main meteorology project, I moved a section previously within that page to this one.  Thegreatdr 16:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Moved climate indices to this page

message: What do you all think is still needed to bring this article up to GA?  Should climate models be mentioned in this article, if it already lies in climate?  Thegreatdr (talk) 16:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: GA thoughts?

message: This is new to me, but I am wondering for purposes of flow if the comparison to meteorology section should be moved to later in the article? It seems this should come later, not up front. StenSmith (talk) 18:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Comparison to meteorology

message: Chopped a recently added section which consisted of one disgruntled scientist's quote from his personal webpage. Vsmith (talk) 14:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Integrity? 

message: This leading sentence in the History section is out of place:
:The earliest person to hypothesize climate change may have been ...
And it contains wp:weasel words: "may have been."
This article is about climatology "the study of climate, scientifically defined as weather conditions averaged over a period of time;" not climate change, the movement of average over time.
The second paragraph is more suitable:
:Early climate researchers include ..."

message: I checked a few of the links referenced in this article and only two out of the nine I checked connected to valid links. The links should be updated, along with the article's information.-Js1006 (talk) 01:01, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

message: I just created a related article, hydroclimatology, that would benefit from more knowledgeable editors having a go. Especially with the Wiki-technical aspects of it. CheersRap Chart Mike (talk) 18:15, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  New related article 

message: I'd like to condense the section about indices quite a bit. In most RSs about climatology, this is only a minor part of the discussion. See for instance the index of the following book: Climatology, or the list of topics for this book: Climatology: An atmospheric Science.  reverted my edit in the lede as unhelpful: was this because you do think it should remain a major part of the article? Or were there other parts of the edit you found unhelpful (removal of jargony analog techniques f.i.) Femke Nijsse (talk) 14:41, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I was mainly undoing the edits previous to yours which were rather problematic and it seems your edit to the lead was simply to combine three paragraphs - don't see why that was needed. Vsmith (talk) 14:54, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

text: I hope ya'll can work this out... its always a bummer when two skilled and worthy eds are working concurrently with the appearance of undesired third party edits.  NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 15:02, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, no problem :). I split (rather than merged) the lede into three paragraphs to increase readability + removed some details about indices/jargon. A small thing of course. And indeed the other edits were problematic, hadn't seen you undid those. Femke Nijsse (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
