Merger of weather spotter and storm spotter[edit]

Essentially identical concepts, duplicate articles. This (storm spotter) is the more comprehensive article and, so far as I can tell, the more widely-used term. Unless there is some vociferous objection, I plan to merge the articles here. --MCB 03:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At first thought I would merge as well, but the weather observer/spotter networks that the TV/radio stations maintain and the storm spotters that report for volunteer and governmental agencies are two separate things entirely. The term weather spotter is more descriptive and more common for the media volunteers, and vice versa, but the weather spotter article certainly is a lot to be desired as is.

I would vote for a merge, but to merge everything into the Weather spotter article. I think that weather spotting would refer to any type of volunteer reporting, and storm spotting is a specific type of that. But yeah, after a merge the article would need to be expanded to detail other types of weather spotting besides storm spotting. Gopher backer 23:51, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and removed the merge proposal. I put a small section in weather spotter, and put a main article link to this one. I think that should suffice. thoughts? Gopher backer (talk) 13:27, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, am I confusing weather spotter with weather observer? Gopher backer (talk) 13:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
