[edit] Missing articles

  • History of meteorology
  • History of oceanography
  • Geology of California

I haven't been maintaining this page much lately; I'm heartened that so many of the links below that once were red, now are blue.

Lunar stations are the 28 or 27 "constellations" along the ecliptic used (instead of a twelve-constellation "zodiac") in many ancient cultures to indicate the location of the Moon in the sky on any given night. They are also known as lunar mansions or Chinese constellations. There is some extensive discussion of these in the Dover paperback Star Names: Their lore and meaning by Richard Hinckley Allen, my copy's ISBN 0-486-21079-0

volumetric analysis: This used to discuss John Dalton's role in its development, among other things, in an extraordinarily incoherent way, and got deleted before I got around to trying to improve it. Volumetric analysis is something that every student of chemistry is usually expected to master in adolescence or very early adulthood.

Many more missing articles in the list of stars by constellation, which has long since been broken up by constellation, so look for these redlinks inside each individual constellation article, e.g. Sagittarius, Coma Berenices, Vela, Cygnus, Cetus, etc. Another good place to look is the list of nearest bright stars.

Q: Where is the independent historical article about the Muslim state of Granada ca. 1230 to 1492? How should it be named if we were to create a new article and lift this text out into it? (The article on the Nasrid dynasty is not quite what I have in mind.)

A: Al-Andalus

Thanks to RJHall for starting Beta Comae Berenices and Zeta Herculis.

Thanks to Ragesoss for starting History of geology.

[edit] Some articles I've worked on

  • History of chemistry: See the talk page.
  • Elias Hicks: Mostly copied out of a copyleft source.
  • astronomical algorithm: I wish I had the expertise to expand this article, both in breadth (CCD data processing algorithms, for instance) and in detail, but I can't without doing a lot more independent reading (and writing hobby code) on the subject.
  • List of solar system objects by mass: I didn't start this, but I keep coming back to it, adding and correcting information, and trying to make it easier for others to do so.

Thanks to MeltBanana for merging Margaret Fell.

[edit] Articles (etc.) I'm interested in poring over lately
