GA nomination[edit]

This article is about geodesy - the science of measuring the earth and other planets and their moons. Its main purpose is to collect data reliably for mapping, navigation, natural resources exploration, and scientific research. Geodesy is so important that virtually entire world depends on it in everyday activities, from positioning and transportation to timing and trade.

This is a WP:QUICKFAIL based on criterion 3 (It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include {{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags.) and criterion 1 (It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria), specifically WP:GACR 2b (reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)). The current version has several uncited paragraphs. I'll add some maintenance tags to the article itself. TompaDompa (talk) 06:13, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Physical geodesy into Geodesy[edit]

These pages seem highly redundant and both have templates calling for more sources. By merging them together, it could be possible to improve the source situation. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 17:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
