I count three journal citations in the text as well as links that may lead to other citations. So it's not accurate to say it has NO citations. Is 3 citations fewer than average for an article this long? Do they need to be in another format (cited at end rather than in text, say)? 134.84.10.225 ( talk) 21:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)Ford
This article specifies requirements for inclusion in the title category: . '...Long-term experiments therefore contrast with nonexperimental long-term studies in which manipulation of the system studied is impossible or undesirable...' . By that standard, two examples provided in the section labeled 'Physics' are not 'long-term experiments' but instead 'long-term studies'; namely the pitch drop (measurement/observation/study) and solar microwave observatory. It is not desirable to manipulate the former and not possible to manipulate the later. . Perhaps these should be removed. . 70.171.44.124 ( talk) 13:34, 28 November 2013 (UTC)BGriffin
I propose that Longitudinal study be merged into Long-term experiment. Afaict, the two terms are synonymous and should be redirects of each other. Currently, the articles cover the same ground, although about 80% of the former is a list in the form of a table.
If the two are not merged, then LS should be renamed according to the lists guideline, something like List of long-term experiments, and the lead shortened. Mathglot ( talk) 00:13, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Since it is up to interpretation what is "long-term", I was thinking that some "natural experiments", meaning one that include following up some naturally evolving populations could be thought as "long-term" experiments.
Therefore, I propose to add to the "evolutionary biology" or the "ecology" section, one that talks about "natural" experiments like Peter and Rosemary Grant's study on the Galápagos Islands.

Long term studies of bighorn sheep and mountain goats are another good example of "natural" experiments.
