is not relevant enough to seiches to warrant a link on seiche article. The lack of a solid connection is even explained on

http://www.seiche.com/2.%20Admin/SeichePage.html Why seiche?

, which gives the superficial -- albeit not inappropriate -- reasons the term was chosen by Imperial College, etc.

Sietch
According to that article, the pronunciation bears only a passing similiarity, about as much as the English words "which" and "was" bear to each other. Anyone here have a better way of rephrasing this, or should the link just be removed entirely as an irrelevancy? Rhialto 06:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

GA potential
Informationwise, this is a very good article. The problem is that it lacks inline references, which is one of the GA criteria nowadays. Once it gets inline references, it can easily be upgraded to B class, and submitted for GAC. Thegreatdr (talk) 05:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Chicago?
I'm not really sure how this pertains to Chicago in any way, so I'm removing the tag for now until someone can give me a clear reason why it should be tagged as part of that project ~ Triberocker (talk) 19:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Seiches reported in Salton Sea
The Salton Sea, California's largest lake consisting of salt water had unusual wave activity (a slow creep of water then to subside for 10 some minutes) from the recent earthquake in Chile (see 2010 Chile Earthquake) on Feb 27th. It happened in the early morning, but a few local residents who may be caught walking down the shore will notice the strange splashes and movement of the water, since the Chile earthquake was affecting worldwide sea levels and unlike the Salton Sea, the Pacific ocean in California had a very low-then high-and back to average tidal pattern that day from the full moon on the following day (Feb. 28th). + 71.102.7.77 (talk) 18:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Seiches reported in Sognefjord (Norway)
Most likely due to the large 9.0 Magnitude Earthquake outside Japan on 11 March, there have been numerous observations (and filming) of Seiches in that area. See article: http://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/jordskjelv-i-japan/artikkel.php?artid=10082949 + video. Jahibadkaret (talk) 09:23, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

History of the science
The article makes it sound like the science for seiches got going in 1890. But I just read an article from 1854 in the Canadian Journal that mentions recent, and apparently substantial, research on Swiss seiches.

I see that the 1854 article is referring to "On the Seiches of Lakes," Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London, 3:271-275 (1833).

In 1840, a UC-Berkeley course, "Tides", included coverage of seiches.
