Another welcome

Hello Roger. Thanks for expanding those details at New Zealand Climate Science Coalition. Your contributions are welcome in all areas of WP, and I am sure your interests and knowledge would benefit the project in many ways. Other links you might useful include WikiProject Geology and WikiProject Environment. Since you have edited an article about an organisation of which you are a part, you may want to familiarise yourself with WP's Conflict of interest guidelines. WP has no problem with this if you declare your COI and maintain a neutral point of view: which you have! Thanks again. And may I also encourage you to continue dabbling in WP: it is rewarding to be involved in such a project (although it can be a little addictive!). Gwinva (talk) 03:55, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

It was a little unnecessary to revert the lot, in my opinion. I've reinstated the members' background and compromised on Bellamy. If you are ever concerned about issues like this, then the talk page is a good place to bring issues up. I've made a note there. Despite WP's claim for NPOV, articles outside prevailing scientific opinion can receive fairly short shrift from time to time, and could often benefit from an alternative view!.

I've cut your comment....

This one [1] - as said: Please refactor your comment to adhere with WP:TALK and WP:SOAP. Please read those :). And please provide links instead of quoting long sections (from something that i have no idea what the source is). --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 22:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
