message: While the 1911 information may have been useful in its time, I would consider the bulk of this article to be at best highly misleading.

:The first anemometer was invented by Leone Battista Alberti in the 15th century. It was later re-invented by a Englishman by the name of Robert Hooke who is often mistakenly considered the inventor of the first anemometer.
as 1) neither article contains the claim they invented the first anemometer, and 2) the generic statement doesn't match up with the categorized anemometer types (i.e. which type did they invent). - Davandron | Talk 21:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This is a very poor report on this measurment explain
Anemometer: An instrument to measure the speed or velocity of gases either in a contained flow, such as airflow in a duct, or in unconfined flows, such as atmospheric wind. To determine the velocity, an anemometer detects change in some physical property of the fluid or the effect of the fluid on a mechanical device inserted into the flow.
Anemometers, I believe, have equally important applications in HVAC testing equipment and other testers for flow speed of various gases.

message: It is about:
"Most recently, in 1994, Dr. Andrews Pflitsch developed the sonic anemometer.[2]"
The source is wrong, and therefore the content of this phrase is erroneous. Sonic anemometer were already used ten years before, like in this paper from 1984:
Hay, J. S., 1984. Analysis of Wind and Response Data from the Wye and Erskine Bridges and Comparison with Theory.
Consequently, I suggest to remove this information

message: The third paragraph of the section "Vane anemometers" doesn't make sense. It appears to be about measuring wind speed in a situation where the direction of the air flow is fixed, but then proceed to say that an "air vane" or an "air meter" can be used. The former is a device for measuring wind direction, the latter is a device for pumping air (e.g. pumping car tires).
:Please just explain this, don't delete it. Typically, a Vane Anemometer for wind measurement is attached to the end of a weather vane (which moves the propeller downwind). Drbits (talk) 22:23, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

message: By using strain gauges, a fixed vertical rod with a ball on the top can be used to measure the speed and direction of the wind. The rod is clamped tightly at the bottom and three to eight strain gauges are attached to the sides of the rod. The bend of the rod measures the pressure on the ball (proportional to the square of the wind velocity). The wind direction is measured by triangulation of the output of the strain gauges. 
The advantage is that there are no rotational points to wear out or get clogged with dirt. Currently, this is just a laboratory experiment, but it could significantly reduce the cost of maintaining automated weather stations. The idea comes from the Vortex Bladeless Wind Turbine https://www.wired.com/2015/05/future-wind-turbines-no-blades/ Drbits (talk) 23:08, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
