What is, the difference, if any, between salination and salinisation (saliniziation)? --AndreasPraefcke 15:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the first describes "what the condition is now" and the second is a verb "the act of salting soil". 71.199.123.24 07:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

As used within WP, they are synonymous. I advocate moving the page, to soil salinization, which gets 58,800 results in a Google search, plus an additional 18,800 results for the close variant, "soil salinisation". These 77,600 results are significantly higher than only 16,200 results for "soil salination", especially considering the multiplier effect of wikipedia content emulators. -- Paleorthid 21:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

An alternative rename, As currently posted at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Soil/Worklist, is to rename the article I advocate moving the page, to soil salinity. The term gets 367,000 results in a Google search. -- Paleorthid 21:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC), updated 01:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
