Climate

As far as I know, 'climate' is climate. There is no such thing as 'winter climate' – this is bad usage.... it should be 'climate... in winter' (unlike, for example, 'winter weather', etc). Cheers, Bruce – Agendum (talk) 18:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree that it's bad usage (I think that "winter climate" and "climate in winter" are equivalent), but I am happy to change it. Previously the article said that the climate was more severe, without any qualification as to season, which I think was arguably incorrect. JH (talk page) 18:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Winter climate is fine; just as mid-latitude climate is fine William M. Connolley (talk) 21:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of the coldest 4 or 5

I removed the unreferenced and unspecific claim to "one of the coldest 4 or 5 winters" as per Jimbo's quote on WP:BURDEN --Bardcom (talk) 16:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Having seen this, I will provide evidence that it was, in fact, the coldest winter on record in an area roughly corresponding to the English Midlands. JH (talk page) 16:56, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. What you're missing is Bardcom's one-man campaign to remove the words "British Isles" from wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration. Bardcom, please stop playing silly games or you'll be blocked William M. Connolley (talk) 17:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please no ad hominen attacks, and assume good faith. You've given no reason to revert a good edit and reference to support a claim. Or do you have one? --Bardcom (talk) 17:40, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

William M. Connolley, you reverted an unsourced claim and Bardcom removed it for whatever reason. British Isles or not, the reason does not matter, imho you have overstepped the admin mark blocking him for an edit you, and likely the others who added or revert it, cannot, currently, verify. Bad call on both ends I feel. ww2censor (talk) 17:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the RFA, and Bardcoms edits William M. Connolley (talk) 19:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I seen them and as I suggested you still can't provide a verifiable source. ww2censor (talk) 20:41, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
