Talk:Geomagnetically induced current

[edit] Comments

Hi! Thanks for this interesting article! A few comments, though. Try to be as concise as you can. Please add the most wikilinks you can (in the boundaries of common sense), as some words to which you are used to may not be so common for non-specialized readers. Finally, try to avoid the most auto-referential writing: avoid "this article will..." "Here we discuss the ground effects..." etc. These are all unnecessary words which only makes the article longer. Also, using WP:Footnotes is very useful, as it allows you to give precise references, as you do, but not in the main-text: this way, people who are interested in these references (and who might understand a word about specialized articles) can look it up, while the average reader (me!) needn't bother...

Section "GIC in power currents": what is a "harmonic-rich AC waveform"? is there any available wikilink for some beginning of explanations? Tazmaniacs 01:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved text

I'll try to proceed carefully, please do respond if you are aware of these changes. I'm moving this here, as I think it belongs rather to Space weather:

Here we discuss the ground effects of space weather, but we note that space weather also impacts other technologies, for example, those associated with airlines, Earth-orbiting satellites, GPS, radio communication systems, and unmanned space missions. Astronaut health during space weather events, for example during extended stays on the International Space Station, and on any future Moon and Mars missions, continues to be a prime consideration for national and international space agencies.
