Misplaced Pages

Latest revision as of 16:11, 7 December 2024

This page, concerning the weather of London, was considered an inappropriate title for an encyclopedia article in the past, and was long used as a deliberate example of a non-existent page in Misplaced Pages documentation. It has since been superseded for this purpose by other, even more unlikely titles like this one. Nonetheless, old versions of many pages on Misplaced Pages may link to this title with the expectation that it will not exist. For general information about the weather in London, see Climate of London.

Can we redirect this to London#Climate? ViperSnake151 15:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Done. In before drama. --- RockMFR 18:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Aaarrrgh!

Let me just state, for the record, that creating "The weather in London" as a redirect -- "soft" or otherwise -- was wrong. R-O-N-G wrong.

Yes, I know, I missed the RFD and the MFD and all, so I can't really complain, but --- Sheesh. What's Misplaced Pages coming to? Grump. —Steve Summit (talk) 00:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Nobody cares anymore about Backward compatibility --Enric Naval (talk) 17:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

The list of decisions above is fairly misleading, as it fails to distinguish clearly between the article and the talk page. There was clear consensus to keep the talk page which used to look like while the article had been a protected redlink for 16 months, suggesting to me that a consensus at existed at that stage that the article should stay a redlink. Subsequently, discussion of the article being a soft redirect has in my view failed to reach consensus and for some reason that apparently means the soft redirect has to stay. Sad really.--Rumping (talk) 01:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Good Grief. What has this world/wiki come to? Trainmastercrc (talk) 23:32, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Complete listing

Rumping was correct that the former list of deletion discussions was misleading, as it mixed in the various deletion discussions about the The weather in London and Talk:The weather in London. I have replaced it with a more comprehensive list of the discussions about this. Cheers,--Aervanath (talk) 19:34, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Come to think of it...where you wrote "(PLEASE LEAVE THIS LINE BLANK)", did you want that text there, or an actual blank line?--Aervanath (talk) 05:41, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, yes, that second line actually should be left blank. Thank you very much, Aervanath! – PIE ( CLIMAX )  02:34, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Could {{pp-template}} be added to the end of the article so that the standard lock shows up to indicate protection status? Thanks! --Nouniquenames 05:25, 19 September 2012 (UTC) Nouniquenames 05:25, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Um, that is for adding to templates, but this is not a template ... — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:12, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Errors

The "heaviest snow for 2 decades" was experienced in February 2009, i.e. the winter of 2008/2009 not the "Winter of 2010". The article states that London experienced "its lowest temperature on record during the "winter of 2010" and then goes on to state a lower temperature recorded during January 1962. Naturally, neither of these "facts" is cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.130.251 (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

London climate

Just wondering that the greenwich climate box averages should really be changed to heathrow's avergaes ecause greenwich weather station (I may be wrong) closed down a while ago and is no longer recording data also Heathrow climate averges is more intune with that of most of London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vidal101 (talk • contribs) 13:18, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Greenwich is still used by the Met Office, its the only station for central London they have, I've just (yet again) reverted falsified climate information by editor "RobertStaines", and have added Heathrow as the primary station on display for London. --Jacobfrid (talk) 23:20, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --70.192.14.173 (talk) 13:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC) It should outline what the weather in London is..... COLD SNOWY WINTERS,FOG BY THE THAMES,HUMID HOT HAZY SUMMERS ……

I've noticed that The weather in london (with a lowercase 'l'), which was added in order to catch all the actual searches for weather in London which may or may not have happened back when this was a redlink, now targets at Geography_of_London#Climate (which is a little more detailed than the current redirect target). This one should probably be changed to match. (I assume, looking at relevant discussions, that the reason it's fully-protected is to stop people AfDing it, rather than to stop people changing the content; I suspect the protection's unnecessary, but doubt the page needs to change all that often, so just {{editprotected}}ing this for now.) --ais523 04:44, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Change the deprecated template {{This is a redirect}} to {{Rcat shell}}, and change the redirect categories to the {{R (example)}} format (like they would if they were placed alone), as is preferred for the shell.

I'm also requesting a retargeting to Climate of London the full article instead of the current target to Geography of London#Climate. Mr. Guye (talk) 00:35, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

R to section?

This is not a redirect to a section, so why is it categorised as such? Geolodus (talk) 09:12, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Please remove {{R to section}} - this doesn't redirect to a section. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 22:01, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
