Article probation notice edit

  Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Global warming, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Wikipedia:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- Stephan Schulz (talk) 15:00, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

From Talk:Global warming edit

Since this doesn't concern the article at all, I've decided to copy it, and my response, here:

Regarding the sockish smell... TS, you throw these insults at people, but then delete any pushback. Perhaps you should consider your own behavior. I noticed that you have been reprimanded many times by other editors for being argumentative and that you have been blocked perhaps 20 times for abusing your power to block other editors. I think you should honor your own words and stop editing this article. Does anyone else agree? Mcoers (talk) 18:24, 16 February 2010 (UTC)mcoersReply
You may not be aware of this, but the global warming articles have been visited for some years now by a permanently banned but still rather determined troll and sock puppeteer known as scibaby. That was the sock to which I referred. You should know better than to launch personal attacks on other editors. And finally, beware of taking statements of intent as a kind of promise. It is a volunteer's prerogative to decide what he does with his time. --TS 23:32, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I hope you understand that the global warming article is a very important part of our science coverage, so letting the talk page become filled up with interpersonal bickering is not on. However I thought it worth trying to explain to you why comments like this are unwelcome anywhere on Wikipedia. --TS 23:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Mcoers, just wanted to voice my support for your approach to this issue. I've extensively heard many discussions about this issue on radio and television over the last few years, and feel that they should be more of a skeptical take towards this whole global warming thing. It really became prominent, with the documentary, The Great Global Warming Swindle, which was produced by Martin Durkin. It was aired on the ABC in Australia, and when interviewed by Tony Jones, the pour guy never had a chance to reply back properly. Yes, I believe many of these scientists are paid by governments and organisations to pump out more theories on global warming, so these myth makers can keep their jobs. Global warming was already around in the medieval ages, a time when there were no cars, oil, nor industry. I just wonder how long somebody can get more of a neutral grip on this stuff?

really appreciate your comments on the gw article. there is no point in arguing with them. time will change that view, when they finally notice that a sun's fart makes more change to earth's atm than all human-produced co2. in the meantime, don't bother. i am a biology student and really support the sceptic point of view on gw.

I was kind of shocked to find the GW article oriented as it was; personally I will reserve judgement on the issue altogether until I have seen more facts. I had assumed that Wikipedia may be a good place to start my digging, but it appears that this is not the case, rather the article reads like a Global Warming sales pitch. Keep fighting the good fight; your posts on the talk page are coming from the right place. Cheers, Kevin Holzer (talk) 21:05, 5 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
