Add (already included in another Wikipedia page, but should be included here too): According to Walter Tobler, the First Law of Geography states that "everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things." Ed sanfrancisco (talk) 05:16, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- This is referring to Tobler's first law of geography (which I was honestly a bit surprised to find a blue link for). My initial inclination is to decline this since I don't know where to put it within this article, and also since the requested text feels like it needs more context - this sounds more to me like the start of a paragraph or a section discussing this than just a bare statement. It also seems like it may be too technical for addition to a general article like this, but that could just be because I have no idea what that article is talking about. Leaving this request open for now to get additional opinions. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 18:26, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
Not done for now: I agree with you ElHef. I am not sure exactly what and where to put it. @Ed sanfrancisco: Could you spell out exactly what you are thinking edit wise? Dolotta (talk) 23:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Comment on article
An inclusion of discoveries or noteworthy geographical papers/reports is lacking. --Nhyman22 (talk) 15:23, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Mahmud al-Kashgari was a Turkic (not a Turkish) geographer, and more a linguist than a geographer.Тангичи (talk) 11:57, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
Geographers and discoveries
What's the difference between the section listing the notable geographers and geographical discoveries? It already lists the contributions and discoveries geographers made in the "notable geographers" section. Is there a purpose for the "geographical discoveries" section that I don't understand, or should it just be deleted? --HyettsTheGamer2 (talk) 17:21, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
