Inconsistent spelling of the subject's name[edit]

This great man's name is presented in Latin characters with apparently random spelling throughout:

Milanković, Milankovitch, Milankovich, Milankovic

In at least one paragraph, three of these are used. I believe the last two of those listed above are just typographical errors. Although the current transliteration of Slavonic ć/ћ would probably be 'ch', 'tch' was preferred in his lifetime.

Plainly, in quotations and authorial references the spelling used by that work can be used.

In the top paragraph, all the accepted forms of the name are correctly presented.

In the general running text one variant ought to be used, either Milanković or Milankovitch. As this is en.wikipedia.org and not, for instance, hr.wikipedia.org, a variant that doesn't require a non-English character should be used: Milankovitch.

Recent change[edit]

@William M. Connolley: I don′t mind your change and I will not revert it, just want to explain that my edit was made based on this source [[1]] which with some minor differences corresponds with you edit. Theonewithreason (talk) 25. November 2021 (UTC)

Axial tilt[edit]

The discovery of axial tilt is attributed to one Ludwig Pilgrim in 1904. There is no record of any astronomer of that name. The "Axial tilt" article in Wikipedia says that it was first noticed in China and India long ago and was reckoned by Ulugh Beg in 1437 and by Tycho Brahe in 1584. There is no mention of Ludwig Pilgrim. This is obviously an error. Banderswipe (talk) 22:20, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done - by the way as the article does not have any special protection you can edit it yourself if anything else is wrong Chidgk1 (talk) 14:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As well as[edit]

This partly explained the ice ages occurring in the geological past of the Earth, as well as the climate changes on the Earth which can be expected in the future. He founded planetary climatology by calculating temperatures of the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere as well as the temperature conditions on planets of the inner Solar System, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Moon, as well as the depth of the atmosphere of the outer planets.

Clearly the man could never resist scratching a random itch. — MaxEnt 00:47, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source of quote[edit]

What is the source of this quote?

"most of meteorology is nothing but a collection of innumerable empirical findings, mainly numerical data, with traces of physics used to explain some of them... Mathematics was even less applied, nothing more than elementary calculus... Advanced mathematics had no role in that science..."
