List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming

On 23 Oct you mentioned that you might comment on this dispute [1]. This dispute is still being discussed in a newer BLPN entry here if you're still interested in commenting. --Ronz (talk) 03:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks like the debate is over, so my opinion there will probably be redundant. I read this message a bit late, so I couldn't participate. Thanks for informing me though, I appreciate it. Astronominov 16:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Robert Garside

Robert Garside , Hi and thanks for offering to rewrite the section a bit, I have moved the section to the talkpage in readiness, I am available to discuss any issues but my writing skills are shall we say medium , imo, the section needs trimming of a fair bit and leaving the strongest points from the strongest citations, feel free to contact me, regards. Off2riorob (talk) 20:47, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

By the way, no worries, no pressure, no time limits. Off2riorob (talk) 20:48, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey, that looks better, there has been some more discussion at the BLP noticeboard, worth a read for your reference. Off2riorob (talk) 14:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Ummm... Every other article by User:Moon Gallery got speedily deleted (perhaps it doesn't help that they seem to be the owner of www.moongallery.com?) Check out User talk:Moon Gallery. Shem (talk) 20:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Although I'll grant that they may, in fact, be notable. Shem (talk) 21:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I see. But since there's a valid claim for notability, A7 is not an option. I've nommed it for deletion anyway. Feel free to participate in the AfD. Aditya Ex Machina 15:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll drop by the AfD. Shem (talk) 17:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

BLPN - Blacklisting due to BLP issues?

Regarding your reply, "I don't see why not, though the edit filter could also be used for this." I'm not sure what you mean by "edit filter." Something other than XLinkBot I'm guessing. --Ronz (talk) 20:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Apologies. I meant the spam blacklist. It can be used to block URLs (generally used by spammers). If the problem gets out of hand, and if it's difficult to monitor with your bot, just post there. Aditya Ex Machina 06:31, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. --Ronz (talk) 15:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

My RFA →→→

Dear Aditya, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).

Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the ~~Queen~~ Wiki! HJMitchell You rang? 19:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I have removed your "flag", as I am afraid it's not valid. Flags must represent a real current or historical place, and be public domain or under a free license. You're welcome to choose another, or let one be assigned at the start of the competition. J Milburn (talk) 23:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Regardless of the letter of the rules, Nazi Germany is not permitted. It's already been denied to someone else. It's really not appropriate. J Milburn (talk) 23:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that's reasonable, but if you insist.. Aditya Ex Machina 23:39, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
