Clearly inappropriate. Wikinews interlinks are supposed to be for categories of news articles, not individual articles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:45, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

n:Bloomberg and Clinton create green alliance still up for discussion. 97.87.29.188 (talk) 21:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? We've got one of the actual news articles supporting the Wikinews entry as a reference. Why use Wikinews? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:44, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
From Template:Wikinews/doc: "... and is not intended to represent sources for Wikpedia articles." — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:39, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The repeated addition is still inappropriate. Please give a reason for it to be there, in light of the documentation quote, above. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
From Template:Wikinews/doc#Location: "This template is normally placed at the top of the WP:External links section. If the news story primarily relates to one part of the article, it may be placed at the top of the appropriate section."
I see no reason why that should be read as "at the top of the relevant paragraph". — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Any reason not to follow the guidelines in Template:Wikinews/doc? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:04, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:54, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Linking Wikinews and wp when relevant and helpful to "the reader", of course. 99.35.12.122 (talk) 22:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They are tangential links, not worthy of a "See also" section. For example, {{Wikinews|Category:Environment}} is only relevant to Environment and Category:Environment, not to all environmental articles. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Stop adding it until you can supply a reason. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Expand from useful reference World Bank to Help Cities Control Climate Change

[edit]

From World Bank to Help Cities Control Climate Change by Alexei Barrionuevo: June 1, 2011 New York Times:

The World Bank signed an agreement [June 1st] ... to work on technical and financial assistance for projects to minimize the effects of climate change. ... announced at the C40 large cities climate meeting here, will ease access to financing for climate-change-reduction projects. It was hailed by many of the mayors, including Michael R. Bloomberg of New York City, and by former President Bill Clinton, who attended the event as part of a new partnership with Mr. Bloomberg.

99.181.155.61 (talk) 20:39, 2 June 2011 (UTC) [reply]

The agreement will make it easier for investors who have been hesitant to finance projects to assess city action plans by providing a standard approach, said Robert B. Zoellick, the World Bank’s president. It will also provide a common way to measure and report on the greenhouse gas emissions of cities, easing access to carbon financing, he said. No single standard exists for reporting citywide carbon emissions.

“What is holding back the sustainable clean technology revolution for a lot of mayors and businesses and households in a lot of countries is the lack of green financing,” said Sam Adams, the mayor of Portland, Ore. “The partnership with the World Bank begins to address that.”

The C40 commissioned a pair of studies that provide, for the first time, a statistical baseline of greenhouse gas emissions produced by the 58 cities that are members of the organization, as well as a catalog of actions they are taking to reduce them. As Mr. Bloomberg, the chairman of C40, said, repeating a mantra from his business career, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” The C40 member cities have a total population of more than 300 million and produce 12 percent of global greenhouse gases and 21 percent of global economic activity. Of the 42 cities that participated in the research, more than half have adopted emissions-reduction targets, and nearly two-thirds have taken steps to address climate change.

As your "Add ..." statements make no sense, I probably should just hat them, rather than delete them. However, WP:TALK suggests that statements not credibly related to improving the article be removed. No credible reason has been supplied why environmental statistics or greenhouse gas#greenhouse gas emissions be added to the article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 06:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why would you delete someone's comments just because they don't make sense to you? (Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines) 97.87.29.188 (talk) 20:19, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:TALK, it is quite proper to delete comments not related to improving the article. If they make no sense whatsover, they probably aren't related to improving the article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:42, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Quite extremist wording Mr. Rubin, "not related" and "make no sense whatsover". That kind of talk is not constructive. Please temper your comments. 97.87.29.188 (talk) 20:43, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Makes no sense whatsover" is accurate. As you admit you're not fluent in English, perhaps you can post your ideas in your own language, and we can see if someone can translate it into English. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:48, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Not related" may be a matter of opinion, in some cases. However, violations of WP:CANVASS and of WP:NPA can be deleted, even by involved parties. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:50, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To whom are you writing Mr. Rubin? 97.87.29.188 (talk) 21:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To anyone who doesn't believe you are being disruptive. That seems to include exclude almost all logged in editors. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you are to continue making comments such as that Special:Contributions/Arthur Rubin, please back them up with evidence. At best, that is hearsay. 99.190.87.183 (talk) 05:28, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I can name three other editors who have specifically commented that your posts are disruptive. Can you name one who has specifically commented that your posts are not disruptive? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Using your own contributions to support your contributions is, well, fatuous. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:23, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Propaganda

[edit]

So, while trying to research c40, I came across this, and I cant say I'm impressed. the intro itself seems to be right from their marketing manual, and while I am not in a position to do so - I feel it is important that this entire page is re-done in a neutral manner.

Climate change

[edit]

Climate change is a fraud, compliance mandated for the little people of the world, while those from Bill Gates to Tony Blair fly from A to B in their climate killing private jets to dictate why your life should change, and why theirs shouldn't.

Everything in play now to monitor, track & control people:

  • Pandemic treaty - travel
  • 15 min cities - travel
  • Net zero - social credit
  • Tax - surveillance
  • Online harms bill - narrative
  • Police & crime bill - stop protests
  • Central Banking Digital Currency - total control

On their website the members of the Steering Committee are different? www.c40.org/cities/ Alexanderkowal (talk) 17:01, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

very subjective. statements made as facts not proven

[edit]

This article makes many statements that are not accompanied by evidence. The article is highly opiniated and presents far too many "facts" that are no more than the opinion of the authors. The article needs major revisions to make it reflect reality rather than the fantasy world of the authors 192.0.238.35 (talk) 14:03, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
