Children won't know what snow is
A lot of snow however, is found in England.
None of this will be found on Wikipedia, because it's not actually an encyclopedia.

Crotch Novel (also Crouch Novel) also The Crouch
Fortunately there is an unbound urban dictionary, for when you come across new terms and want to know what they mean.
Crouch novel was suggested by the Wikipedia software when searching for "crotch novel". Nobody knows what that means. While trying find out I learned about the Crouch, which is also not found on wikipedia.

High-frequency winter cooling and reef coral mortality during the Holocene climatic optimum
A detailed ecological, micro-structural and skeletal Sr/Ca study of a 3.42 m thick Goniopora reef profile from an emerged Holocene reef terrace at the northern South China Sea reveals at least nine abrupt massive Goniopora stress and mortality events occurred in winter during the 7.0–7.5 thousand calendar years before present (cal. ka BP) (within the Holocene climatic optimum). Whilst calculated Sr/Ca-SST (sea surface temperature) maxima during this period are comparable to those in the 1990s, Sr/Ca-SST minima are significantly lower, probably due to stronger winter monsoons. Such generally cooler winters, superimposed by further exceptional winter cooling on inter-annual to decadal scales, may have caused stress and mortality of the corals about every 50 years. Sea level rose by ∼3.42 m during this period, with present sea-level reached at ∼7.3 ka BP and a sea-level highstand of at least ∼1.8 m occurred at ∼7.0 ka. The results show that it took about 20–25 years for a killed Goniopora coral reef to recover.

The Jomon transgression
Like many of the entries noted here, the term is used on Wikipedia, but does not have an article.
There are a LOT of scientific papers that either are about it, or mention it, in regards to the Jomon Period.
It is also called the marine transgression in the Jomon Period
the marine transgression in the Jomon Period
which could be a translation problem. Like calling the Holocene transgression "the marine transgression in the Holocene period".
Holocene transgression is also not found on Wikipedia.

Triple blinded experiment, triple blinded study, Triple-blinding
Not found on Wikipedia. While a redirect would help, the article on blinding offers little on the subject. A re-direct would not be very helpful.
Triple-blinding
Although rarely implemented, triple-blind studies occur when group assignment is hidden not only from participants and administrators, but also from those tasked with analyzing the data after the experiment has concluded.
Researchers may expect a certain outcome and analyze the data in different ways until they arrive at the outcome they expected, even if it is merely a result of chance.

The words of H. H. Lamb from his 1984 lecture to the British Association for the Advancement of Science
As is so often the case, what is not found, used to be found. Somebody with an agenda removed it, and made sure it could not be found.
In a 1984 lecture on "the future of the earth" given to the [[British Science Association|British Association for the Advancement of Science]], Lamb cautioned that the effects of carbon dioxide on global warming might be less than expected, and pointed to the possibilities of error or misjudgement in preparing temperature series, referring particularly to the [[urban heat island]] effect.<ref name="Pearce IX">[[Fred Pearce|Pearce, Fred]], ''The Climate Files: The Battle for the Truth about Global Warming'', (2010) [[Guardian Books]], ISBN: 978-0-85265-229-9, pp. 29–30.</ref>

The person who deleted information from Wikipedia is well known for doing this. He even was removed from his esteemed position there. (it was reported he did this to over 10,000 articles on Wikipedia)
He didn't just remove the information, he also removed the source of it, so now any infro from Fred Pearce is not found on the article.
And it's no surprise the source is also not found on Wikipedia. Not even on the Fred Pearce article.
The only place Google search finds that paragraph is on the Bishop Hill blog.
guest post by Bernie Lewin
That blog entry also includes how and who deleted the info from Wikipedia.
The blog has links to sources for more info.
