Kevindavid!
Welcome to my talk page. I hope to contribute to this endeavor, Wikipedia by bring to light new perspectives to problems. I realize that this walks a fine line as respect to bias. However, I don't think point out the ideas of iconoclasts to be at all in opposition to the needs of an encyclopedia. If idea is proved to be false then it needs to be labeled so. But what is far more dangerous is to let lie fallow or delete original concepts simply because they are inconvenient or not mainstream. I have become a Wikipeidian because I have noted that in our haste to be respectable we are increasingly editing out alternative ideas. There is a real catch 22 implied in providing only published ideas. If the rules of science were implemented by perfect human beings then restricting citations to formally published works would be a slower but acceptable course of action. This is alas, not the case. Some very intriguing ideas Iron Fertilization, Thomas Gold's abiologic origin of oil, an electro-magnetic explanation instead of dark matter, and others are being systematically removed from external links. So, now you know my "raison d'etre".

Plumbago sorry about the overfishing thingy I thought it referred to the wiki page on overfishing sorry bout that chief I see that you state on one of the pages that you respond here. Great. I wrote this article I work at the Ecole des Mines of Saint Etienne. Since the article is speculative and states this in its premise I am sure its "okay." Saying that there are several new perspectives to the debate over iron fertilization that seems to be lacking in the arena of specialists. I have had a great deal of problems in getting this work properly published here is what is new 1. there is a proposed link between the invasion of the zebra mussels and loss of fishing grounds in the atlantic as you know the naysayers keep saying that no one can test iron fertilization on a grand scale this article suggests that it has already been done and recently 2. minor mysteries like chuuk or truk atoll and the fertility of oil platforms are also explained thank you for your help and hope you find the article intriguing chris yukna ps I will try to create my page as well
