==Wiki Education assignment: WRIT 340E Global Innovations Spring 2022== This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 10 January 2022 and 29 April 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Skippytheturtle, Hawaiiandiamond, Delwattar ( article contribs).
Its funded, the motivation is clear, its ongoing.. but does it do anything (that would not happen anyway)? For a topic this easy to scientifically prove or rule out any significant change in outcome, the article has very little information on what distinguishes the operation from other modern dowsing scams. 2A01:C22:B197:BE00:7CB9:A5DE:44D8:581C ( talk) 23:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

21:16, 18 April 2024 79.155.203.120diff hist −815 Cloud seeding in the United Arab Emirates 1) References like The Guardian is not a scientific journal. Please, rigor. 2) Science cannot get the answer the next day (your cites were published yesterday). 3) Scientists could be discussing right now if this comes from artificial raining or not. Cite good articles based on scientist method or write that scientists are talking. We don't wanna read your personal opinions. Don't induce thoughts. Publish conclusions when conclusions are reached, not before current.
I strongly disagree with this revert. It is clear that my edit states current expert consensus, not my personal opinions. I am not pro-cloud seeding, I am pro-fact. If the expert consensus on this changes I would happily support a revision to reflect this.
The sources I referenced are acceptable in this instance, unlike WP:MEDRS there are no no fixed requirements for citations in general scientific topics. The references come from reputable news sources and there are many other news sources stating the same thing. There is no equivalent scientific publication to reference in this instance as it would take months for such a publication to be produced after these recent events.
To add to the comment in the previous Talk topic, there seems to be much uncertainty about the efficacy and effects of cloud seeding. I'd support edits to this article to capture this nuance, as I would support the addition of any PROVEN link between flooding and cloud seeding. Given that cloud seeding is a popular topic with conspiracy theorists, we need to be careful about speculation and attributing linkages without evidence.
I do plan to rerevert this edit in a few hours, given the current visability of this topic in the news. TatjanaClimate ( talk) 08:31, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
