Plagarism

Just FYI, the opening of this article appears to be lifted directly from his web site, as can be viewed in this screenshot here. 24.58.144.34 (talk) 02:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Advocacy, and self promotion

Article seems self promotional and biased. Subject labels himself as "agnostic" and "skeptic", but uses inflamatory language, describing those advocating policies against climate change as "alarmists" and their beliefs as "myths". To me, this gentleman seems to be an active member of an advocacy group while pretending to be a journalist. It would be good if someone with actual subject matter knowledge would separate the advocacy from the serious content, if there is any, on this page.

Requested Edits to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bryce_(writer)

The owner of this page, Robert (Bryce, my boss) has requested the following edits be added to his page:

1. A new article he has written: Joe Biden’s Electricity Plans Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbryce/2020/07/27/joe-bidens-energy-plan-aims-to-overhaul-the-electric-grid-by-2035-is-it-plausible/#2f664ec812df

2. Adding in his Podcast Power Hungry Podcast Found Here: http://robertbryce.com/power-hungry-podcast/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/1157633 https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-power-hungry-podcast-robert-bryce-davsb2F-VJt/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-hungry-podcast/id1519850086 https://www.youtube.com/user/robertbrycetv

3. Add this description to his Documentary Section for Juice. "The defining inequality in the world today is the disparity between the electricity rich and the electricity poor. Juice explains that there are more than 3 billion people on the planet today who are living in places where per-capita electricity use is less than what’s used by an average American refrigerator. To illuminate the importance of electricity, the Juice team collected stories in India, Iceland, Lebanon, Puerto Rico, New York, and Colorado. Juice shows how electricity explains everything from women’s rights and climate change to Bitcoin mining and indoor marijuana production. The punchline of the film is simple: darkness kills human potential. Electricity nourishes it."

Please let me know if this is possible, my edits keep being rejected. Please advise. Kpmills85 (talk) 01:05, 12 August 2020 (UTC) Kathryn Mills

• @Kpmills85: Thanks for requesting an edit to this article. I have declined to add this information for the following reasons:

1. The Forbes articles is a WP:PRIMARY source, and it does not describe a notable aspect of Bryce's life or career. Also, Forbes articles written by contributors is considered unreliable, as listed in WP:RS/P.
2. The podcast does not pass our notability guidelines. Information is notable if other sources (not primary sources) report on or review the podcast. If you find a source that has covered the podcast, please include it in a new request.
3. The description for Juice sounds very WP:PROMOTIONAL. Also, that section does not include a reference, so I cannot WP:VERIFY the information. Lastly, information about the documentary should be written in the perspective of what viewpoints Bryce talks about in the doc. In other words, instead of describing the documentary the wording in this article should describe the views and work Bryce did in the documentary in a neutral, disinterested tone.

If you would like more information on what we include in a bio, please see WP:BLP and MOS:BIO. If you have any questions, please respond below or message me on my talk page. Z1720 (talk) 15:19, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
