[edit] History of Pittsburgh - request for collaboration
I've put a lot of additional work into this article, based on feedback from when it was a Featured Article Candidate. Also updated the maps to give them a more standard appearance. I'm going to submit the article for peer review and then FAC again. Before I do, though, I need some help from the WikiProject Pittsburgh. Please take some time and help with these tasks:
- improve the article with changes, additions and deletions
- some stern proof-reading, please
- give it a quality/importance rating at Talk:History of Pittsburgh
- leave feedback at Talk:History of Pittsburgh
Thanks. I'll be leaving this note at the talk pages of the project members who have been most active in Pittsburgh-related articles. Tomcool 14:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Politics of global warming
Hi, Ronjamin. I've been around Wikipedia since it's first year, and I'd like to offer a bit of advice regarding this addition to Global warming:
- The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a political body consisting of delegates of the United Nations that does not conduct scientific research, but relies on "peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature"[1] to assess the risk of human-induced climate change. The (IPCC) has not considered or has minimized other scientific evidence, positions, or theories, such as Solar variation[2] in relation to global warming. [1]
If you feel an article on science is biased, don't try to prove it in the body of that article. Take it to a controversy or "politics of" article.
Wikipedia's science articles reflect whatever the current "consensus" is about science, even if that consensus reflects a bias. Remember, 140 years ago nobody knew that germs cause disease. It wasn't until the last quarter of the 19th century that men like Pasteur, Lister and Koch began to attract positive attention to their work (see Germ theory of disease and Ignaz Semmelweis). --Uncle Ed 19:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photo work
I've notice the great photos you have been adding to articles. Nice work! --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 10:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Agreed--love the photos you took at Rolex. Hoping to get there myself this April and try to shoot a few, between watching the action. I dont suppose you have any of the dressage phase, do you? Eventer 04:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yup, I just came here to express my respect about the hptographic work myself. Thanks! --Klaws 15:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all of your work with Pittsburgh-related photographs.

[edit] Is it a word? ;-)
<<Montanabw, is unencyclopediac really a word? :-). Ronald C. Yochum, Jr. 05:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)>>
Well, correct spelling is actually "Unencyclopedic" with or without a hypnen and it appears to have been invented on wikipedia... http://www.reference.com/search?q=Un-%20encyclopedic&r=d&db=web
See also http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unencyclopedic&redirect=no
Apparently will eventually be coming to a dictionary near you! ;-)

So, given that spell-check would miss this...I'll remember to remove the extra "a" next time! Montanabw 19:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
