This is all very predictable. Note that the admin who denied the unblock request cited 3 diffs -- 2 of which are exactly the same diff is a redirect of an improper merge. If a redirect is a violation of BLP then the editor who I was redirecting is also an egregious BLP violator.

The actions that have been taken since the article went to mainspace is why the article was written in the first place and why the subject is notable and sourced in secondary sources.

Now an SPI? LOL.

Oligarchy is right.

I edited your comment to correct the spelling of my last name. I hope you don't object to that. Dragons flight (talk) 17:02, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that. No, of course, no objection at all. Minor4th 17:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Per my probation and should you have a few minutes to spare could you please ok the refs in this article? [1] Thanks mark nutley (talk) 22:16, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will look at it, but it will be this evening before I can get to it. Minor4th 22:22, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate, no hurry, but at least before the bus actually hits me :) mark nutley (talk) 22:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you were already under the bus :) I'll get to it as soon as I can -- it will be today though. Minor4th 22:43, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Holy crap, Mark! There are 15 sources. This will take a little longer than I thought. Sorry, I didn't realize there were so many so give me a little more time. Minor4th 03:50, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worrys mate, take your time, the bus is getting ready to pull off though :) mark nutley (talk) 07:50, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to start making comments about the sources on the talk page of that article. I have asked GregJackP to take a look and help evaluate the sources also. Just keep an eye on the talk page for progress as we go through and for discussion or questions that come up. Minor4th 23:50, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have made all the changes you suggested, when you have a moment can you give it the ok? Thanks mark nutley (talk) 19:50, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know i have now moved this article to mainspace Climate Audit, thanks for your help mark nutley (talk) 08:42, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I trust you've been around long enough to know the maxim that removal of a warning on a talk page is considered evidence that the warnee has seen it. --SPhilbrickT 11:20, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - are you speaking of WMC? Minor4th 12:06, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed an edit for the mainspace of an important Wikipedia policy, the Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources policy. Essentially, I believe that some sources are so partisan that using them as "reliable sources" invites more problems than they're really worth. You've previously participated in the RfC on this subject, or another related discussion indicating that you are interested in this important policy area. Please indicate here whether you support or oppose the proposed edit. The original discussion is here. Phoenix and Winslow (talk) 13:23, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that contributors should not be voting here. I'd appreciate it if you'd remove your !vote (and reword if appropriate). What we are looking for is constructive criticism (such as alternate wordings or alternate remedies) . If you aren't around I may remove your !vote myself, and you might want to then modify your comment. Thanks. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Dougweller (talk) 15:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I really meant remove - entirely. I've told Greg Jack that also. Dougweller (talk) 15:30, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look again but I thought it just read like regular commentary without the vote. You have my agreement to remove it if you think it's inappropriate or out of order. Thanks. Minor4th 15:34, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to look at it. GregJackP Boomer! 03:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check your WP email. GregJackP Boomer! 04:34, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nada .... Minor4th 04:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, do a youtube search for "Hide the Decline satire" - and watch the two vids, the first one Mann threatened to sue for defamation over. The second is better IMO. BTW, they made Fox, CBS, Rush, etc. Might be good for an article.... GregJackP Boomer! 05:09, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check your GJP mail. Funny you mention that video because I think I came across that earlier today or maybe it was a Monckton satire. I'll look, thanks. Minor4th 05:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL Nope, this is not the vid I saw earlier, but the first one made me laugh out loud because it's so silly ... and catchy. Looking up the lawsuit threats now. Minor4th 05:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was already an article, was deleted despite all the sources, one was even nature mag. I think a quest for knoladge has it in his userspace mark nutley (talk) 06:58, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
