Talk:Volcanology

Should Vulcanology just be a redirect to volcano? If so, change it. LittleDan

I don't think it should. I'm sure there are interesting things to say about vulcanology; if we leave the page, someone will probably flesh it out one day. Followup to Talk:Vulcanology. -- Merphant 02:31 1 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I will merge vulcanology and vulcanologist. That should improve the content. Emperorbma 08:36 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Merge complete. Final step, remove from stub list. Emperorbma 08:41 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)

SPECIAL NOTE: All the old backups for Vulcanologist were NOT transferred. This was a merge. Emperorbma

UPDATE: Subsequently moved to Volcanology. Emperorbma

I think that Volcanology is the more "popular" spelling than Vulcanology. Google says:

 Volcanology     43,600 results 
 Vulcanology      4,090 results

 
 Volcanologist    9,240 results
 Vulcanologist    1,440 results

Looking at the results, it seems that Volcanology is used in the US, Canada, NZ, some UK, some Australia, Germany. Vulcanology is used in the UK, France, Australia, Italy, Canada. —seav 11:35 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Mea culpa... I noticed that, but I had already set Volcanology, Volcanologist and Vulcanologist to redirect here by then. Anyway, no one should miss this article, since it covers both spellings. Emperorbma 19:27 2 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It's easy to change it all back. There was a time somebody changed all the links to Manila, Philippines to point to Manila and there were about 150 of them. There is only about 15 vo/vulcanology references. So do we move to 'o'? —seav 03:17 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

If we do change them we will have to move this page to Volcanology and then change all the references, and since there is currently a redirect at Volcanology, we might have issues. Emperorbma 05:18 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Apparently the person who wrote the redirect page can overwrite it. OK, I've done as you suggested. Emperorbma

Thanks for moving it! Now, if I can only find someone who will improve the stub. :) —seav 06:54 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
