Talk:Hubbert math

hi Francis. I hope you can see this paper. Jclaer (talk) 00:33, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking about moving this page to Hubbert's math Jclaer (talk) 18:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Is "Hubbert's equation" better title for the article? Because this is Peak Oil related article, it should be linked to Peak Oil article. Maybe article title is even more describing if we use "Hubbert's equation (Peak Oil)" since these equations are applied only to the PO stuff (or am I wrong?). --82.181.70.173 (talk) 03:07, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I made the link to the Peak Oil article. Hubbert's equation is a grand title, but there are so many aspects to it that I prefered the narrower title that is the focus of this article, Hubbert Math. Jclaer (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There is useful information in this article, but it's a wp:neologism, and so not allowed (google scholar shows zero hits for "hubbert math" ). The information here fits in naturally and compliments Hubbert curve, and what doesn't go there could help explain things at Hubbert peak theory.  NJGW (talk) 16:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Good point. Thank you.  Maybe you are correct, but I found many very excellent references such as Deffeyes (Kenneth S. Deffeyes, 2006, Beyond Oil: The view from Hubbert's Peak: Hill and Wang ISBN 0-8090-2957-X.) didn't get the math in a succinct form, so that's what I set out to do.  Google scholar is fine in its own world, but in Wikipedia world, people may enter Hubbert in the search window and see what the suggestions are.  I did.  Does Wikipedia want long articles that cover all aspects, or shorter focused ones like this?   That's not my call. Jclaer (talk) 05:37, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The relevant policy is wp:NEO. Also, Hubbert curve is a short article, and this math simply explains the math behind the curve.  The do more of a service on the same page than separated.  NJGW (talk) 13:28, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no objections to someone undertaking the task you propose. Enjoy! Jclaer (talk) 23:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have redirected the page per wp:NEO. If there is any information which is important to Hubbert curve, please feel free to retrieve it from this article's history.  NJGW (talk) 23:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
