[edit] Deforestation and landslides

[edit] Thanks

Thanks again for your comments on my addition to the John Muir article. I was just reviewing my talk page and noticed your encouraging words; the things I write do not always turn out so well. One thing I do feel good about is that the new school year is about to start and I expect the words I wrote introducing Muir will be appearing in thousands of school reports all over the country.  :-) All the best. -Steve Dufour 04:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sustainability

The problem that we are going to have with the sustainability issues is that forestry has been about sustainability for over a century: it's just the goal of what will be sustained that keeps changing. They thought that sustained yield was good enough, but then they were told that they were not sustaining enough. Each new 'sustainable' concept will run into this problem, so the best they can do is to keep their definitions as vague as possible, so as to avoid getting rejected too quickly. Any 'sustainable' concept will end up approving some forestry action, which on later inspection will be identified as having an ecologically damaging aspect. It is just a matter of time until each new 'sustainable' concept is rejected, in favor of a new and improved sustainability. The best we can do as wiki people is to document each passing fad in sustainability, identify the specific issues of each, and document why it was eventually rejected as not being sustainable.

[edit] "cut and run logging"

I think that we do need a discussion of "cut and run logging" on the logging page. Could you somehow reinsert it? The Gomm 02:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exxon Valdez

I certainly understand why the Exxon Valdez might not be considered a shipwreck. I had no opinion when placing the project banner, and still have none, but we may need to have a discusion involving the whole project on exactly how we define "shipwreck" - must it still be down there, should we include noteable accidents, do we have to know for sure it was wrecked, do military ships sunk as targets count etc etc - Blood red sandman 15:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shipwrecks

Hey Kam No problem with the moving of my edits- Lets get that article cleaned up Markco1

[edit] Wise use

Hi Kam, Good work on the Wise use article. I did some copy editing - mostly breaking up sentences and paragraphs. If folks like it, I'll do the rest of the article.

As a member of the neutrality project (actually, I just joined in relation to an article of my own), I noticed that major parts of this article aren't cited. The philosophy section is the real "sticky wicket", because it contains both controversial material (to some), and because it uses quotation marks, I believe, twice. Since your edits come up most on the history, I'm assuming you're familiar with most of sources, and where this material comes from. If you could add more citation marks, particularly for criticism, you'll head a lot of conflict off at the pass. Sincerely, NinaEliza (talk • contribs • logs) 01:26, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wilderness/criticism

Nice work on the criticism section in the Wilderness article. I think that it nicely problematizes the notion of wilderness. I've added a "Citations needed" tag. When you get a moment, could you add inline notes, please? Or you could give me the cites and I will add them. Sunray 22:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tet offensive

I'd like to belatedly thank you for the work you did on the Tet offensive article back in November, particularly the excellent additions to the Media impact section. Good research and good balanced writing about a controversial subject. KarlBunker 15:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forestry Articles

The forestry articles are maddening as you noted on Glom's talk page. These articles are disjointed and the concepts are spread all over multiple pages. Fire suppression history in a sustainable forestry page? I am a new editor, I have no idea how to take this on. Also my experience is limited to California and Nevada, so I have no experience with world forestry issues. Arghhh SierraSkier 05:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
