The name for this unit is so overwhelmingly "gal" rather than galileo that Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition]] has neither an entry under "galileo" with this meaning, nor a mention of an alternative name under the "gal" entry. Gene Nygaard 13:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
I would like to see the image replace with something like http://images.nationalgeographic.com/wpf/media-live/photos/000/342/cache/earth-surface-gravity-map_34243_600x450.jpg though that may be difficult due to licencing. Kevink707 ( talk) 18:22, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
@ Fgnievinski: What is the reason behind the recent merge of the Gravimeter page into the Gravimetry page? Perhaps this was done to increase the substance of the article, but the terms are not synonyms. As is the case with for example Spectrometer and Spectroscopy or Thermometer and Thermometry, the same distinction between instrument and field of study exists here. (Even though there is an odd counter-example in Magnetometry) In my opinion, Gravimeter and Gravimetry pages are better kept separate for clarity. Gravimetry is also done with other instruments; gravity gradiometers or GPS satellites for instance. D'Lemelo ( talk) 22:29, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I was inspired by gravity gradiometer and gravity gradiometry. fgnievinski ( talk) 01:33, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
