[edit] Compliments / Endorsements

Naturally enough, I tend to end up talking more with people who I am trying to agree wordings with, which (on controversial pages) tends to be people who disagree with me. So its nice sometimes to have people who do agree with me. The RFC especially brought this out.

  • William M. Connolley is widely viewed in Wikipedia as being highly knowledgeable in the field he is writing about (the arbcomm: [1])
  • a professional scientist who has adopted a couple of controversial topics - areas within his considerable expertice. He does a good job keeping the articles focused on the science ([2] Vsmith)
  • Keep up the good work WMC ([3] G-Man)
  • His knowledge of the science related to climate change is comprehensive... I would like to commend William for his excellent work on Wikipedia ([4] Sunray)
  • he's been struggling to present accurate and neutral text ([5] Mel Etitis)
  • WMC tries to keep articles readable and focused, and very much tries to keep nonsense out of them. I am very glad that someone does this necessary work ([6] Stephan Schulz)
  • always willing to discuss disputes, and makes concessions where he feels it is appropriate ([7] Graft)
  • Thank you for your recent edit [8] to this article. That is exactly the kind of editing that Wikipedia needs more of to nip this sort of dispute in the bud, before it becomes a problem for the articles and editors. Keep it up! Cheers --Ryan Delaney
  • Connolley has done such amazing work... Jimbo Wales, reported in Nature: see [9]. More recently, I get a brief mention (at 9:30 ish) in an interview Jimbo did.
