The text was removed because it was not appropriate for the topic (please see the Wikipedia help: What wikipedia is not). While I did not disagree with what the text said I felt it belonged in a topic dealing with the cold war such as NORAD. I also felt it was not NPOV as it presented only one side of the affair, however this was not the main reason for removing it. If you feel that information on the Artic requires a information on it's uses for Nuclear Weapons please include all sides of the issue, mainly that multiple countries around the world use artic waters to deploy nuclear submarines aswell as air defense. However, a See Also reference to NORAD would be more appropriate.
Removed text (shown here with some context that was left in place):
- From end of intro secn
- Extermal link: Arctic Theme Page - Everything from the North Pole to Northern Lights, to animals, and much more.
- From External links secn
- Providing information on the present state of Arctic ecosystems and climate in historical context.
Sounds like some kind of NOAA groupie's work, since NOAA isn't looking for customers. I left two NOAA lks in the Ext lks; perhaps the removed text has a role in the article, even tho whoever put it there has not idea what would be appropriate.
--Jerzyยทt 04:25, 2005 July 27 (UTC) Hmm. Actually it's not just NOAA: more from ext lks secn:
- Arctic Environmental Atlas interactive map resource with a variety of thematic maps
- Arctic impact maps GLOBIO maps with current and future scenarios for human impacts on biodiversity
[edit] Teems with life
Does the Arctic teem with life in any meaningful sense? That is, what regions on Earth don't teem with life if the Arctic does? Srnec 04:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scientific exploration?
Was the Arctic just a place for the "military research"??? How about scientific one? I've created corresponding section, which desperately needs to be expanded. Cmapm 01:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
