Hey, welcome

Are you in the 84th Airborn? Welcome to Misplaced Pages. ChyranandChloe (talk) 05:36, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

No, there's no 84th Airborne that I know of now - maybe there was one once. Thanks! It's an interesting place. Cheers! Airborne84 (talk) 06:04, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
That's good. I'll be brief. Of all places you chose climate change, which is one of the most unwelcoming to newcomers. Some advice, if you get in a dispute with another editor read WP:PROCESS and WP:TPG. Also look at {{Cite web}}, it'll give you instructions on the type of citation you're using, save some time and do it right the first time. Good luck, I expect good things from that article. ChyranandChloe (talk) 06:31, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! I'll read through them. Cheers! Airborne84 (talk) 01:52, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

CCD?

Don't understand this. Is it actionable? It sounds like you're defending that we should merge the appropriate info, but that's already done. By the way, for the two books in the "Bibliography" use {{Cite book}}, instructions are in the link. ChyranandChloe (talk) 07:08, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

If there's already been a merge of some of the data, then I'm just behind the times. I read through the paragraphs from the other article and there's still a tag recommending a merge. It's just my opinion based on the content of that portion of the other article. Some looks like it could go in the "Public Opinion..." article. Some looks like it could reasonably remain there. Airborne84 (talk) 17:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
And thanks for the "Cite Book" link! I was trying to find that last night while struggling to insert those two items into the Biblio. Cheers! Airborne84 (talk) 17:48, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Actually, looking at the sources, they're from scholarly journals, not books. Use {{Cite journal}}, however if you can find the doi number (which is very common, use Google Scholar), you can use {{Cite doi}} where a bot will complete most of the citation and maintain it for you. All you really need to add is the url and full free text. ChyranandChloe (talk) 03:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
I think this concerns you, Nigelj has a reply for you, see Talk:Public opinion on climate change#Attempt to address systemic bias. He's citing WP:WORLDVIEW, which is an essay, not policy; and WP:CSB, which is a wikiproject. You should nevertheless take them very seriously. ChyranandChloe (talk) 20:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I didn't phrase my earlier comments very well - probably because I was in a rush. Lesson learned! Airborne84 (talk) 03:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
