From the good work that you're doing on Climate change, you don't look like you need much help, but it's there if you need it. Mikenorton (talk) 09:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Red flags on the first paragraph

The first paragraph set off my plagiarism detector. I'm sorry about the blanket revert, and I won't do it again. Please review your edit, and post on the talk page if there are any undisclosed sources that you might have used in writing the material. siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 02:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok. You win. I'm sorry. But these edits were not entirely free of copying (even if that copying came from a much earlier version of the article) and I personally would like it if you would at least declare your sources on the talk page of the article. Also, use an edit summary in the future. Thanks, siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 02:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

NOT FROM ME TO ME(xolin): I just love an apology that includes, "..these edits were not entirely free of copying..", when I explained on Silly Rabbit's Talk Page that they weren't. The sources are quoted in the bibliography (Cos that's what it's for...duh) And a "COMMAND"???: "...use an edit summary in the future..." Yes, sir!

First sentence

Hi there. In a normal essay i'm sure an introductory definition of grounding concepts would be fine but in wikipedia it is assumed that people already know the definitions and if they don't they can go to the relevant pages. I ask you to check every other page of wikipedia where you will find that the first sentence is a concise definition of the subject. I hope you can remove the unnecessary definitions of other subjects. Regards. mikemikev (talk) 11:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

This is a 'REAL encyclopedia'. I have shown you why not to do it here, because it's the rule. Change it or I will seek third party adjudication. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.72.242.104 (talk) 02:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

A study on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies

Hi. I have emailed you to ask whether you would agree to participate in a short survey on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies in articles pertaining to global warming and climate change (survey described here).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
