[edit] Global warming

Hi. I realise that this revert was because the user that inserted it is an abusive sockpuppet, but is the information in the edit itself wrong, or is it Wikipedia policy to revert abusive socks' edits even if they are helpful and regardless of the context? Thanks. ~AH1^(TCU) 22:34, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm honestly not sure if there is a rule or not. If someone happens to know that comes by here, I am curious what the policy is. Regarding the revert, I do know of Emanuel's recent publication, and it probably does fit in Global warming under the paragraph that begins "Additional anticipated effects include..." since it mentions Emanuel's previous work (though not directly cited). If I weren't in a rush at the time when I noticed the familiar editing style of the puppeteer, I might have tried to merge it in that paragraph somewhere, as the study doesn't merit an entire paragraph to itself. I think some discussion of what exactly should be done with the study needs to happen in Talk:Global warming, like what User:Rossnixon has started. Jason Patton (talk) 13:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I want to add it looks that the Houston Chronicle article (second source linked in the diff) grossly overstates the conclusions from the BAMS article. Jason Patton (talk) 14:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem! It took me a long time to figure out how this all works too :) Jason Patton (talk) 12:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hi Jason. Congratulations on your entry into the Ron Cram Alternative Reality Zone. Be careful, that way madness lies. Raymond Arritt (talk) 01:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Shakespeare apparently didn't follow forecasting principles either. Madness is about telling the truth these days. Jason Patton (talk) 06:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
