World Climate Report
I left the following comment on William Connolley's Talk page:
- "Hello Mr. Connolley. You removed this clause from the page "but clearly evinces an acceptance of anthropogenic global warming" saying that you saw no such evidence. I then reverted it and added supporting evidence in two references. You then removed the clause once again, saying that the first reference didn't show such acceptance and that the second was not WCR. To address the second first, as I see it the Michaels article that I cited in reference #2 is relevant because he is the chief editor of WCR. His viewpoint dominates. And that article shows he accepts AGW and CO2 as an AGHG. Regarding reference #1, it reads "There is no doubt that fossil fuel burning around the world is causing an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and CO2 remains the number one anthropo-generated greenhouse gas." I think this is pretty clear and is in keeping with Michaels views as he has expressed them in numerous venues. I think this puts the burden of proof on you to provide clear and incontrovertible evidence that WCR and Michaels do not accept AGW. Finally, and I hope you don't take this personally as it is not meant as an ad hominem, but I note that you are a member of a rival organization to WCR, namely Real Climate. One might see a conflict of interest here, especially in the absence of any evidence against WCR and Michaels's acceptance of AGW. Cordially, Geoffrey Plauche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Veritas_Noctis)

3RR
In case you're not aware of it, I draw to your attention WP:3RR William M. Connolley 09:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm aware of WP:3RR, thank you, but I don't believe I reverted more than three times. I only reverted two times yesterday, in fact. The other changes I made were not reverts. They were either unrelated to the issue being disputed or were separate attempts to satisfy you on the issue. Geoffrey Allan Plauche 14:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't implying you had broken it, or were close to it, merely making sure you kne about it. Glad you knew already William M. Connolley 21:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Copied Userboxes
Hello, I see that you know how to transclude userboxes (using {{}}), so could you work on doing this with all your userboxes? Please don't delete all your userboxes, but to start could you take your sci-fi userbox out of Category:Book fan user templates? It is also in the category suppression templates category. It consists of all this to transclude to take your page from these categories:
<div style="float: left; border:solid black 1px; margin: 1px;"> {| cellspacing="1" style="width: 238px; background: silver;" | style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: "336699"; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|black}}};" | [[Image:Terra.png|50px]] | style="font-size: {{{info-s|8}}}pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: {{{info-fc|black}}};" | This [[:Category:Wikipedians who read sci-fi|user]] enjoys reading '''[[science fiction]]'''. |}</div> <includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{{category}}}|no||[[Category:Wikipedians who read sci-fi|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}</includeonly> <noinclude>[[Category:Book fan user templates|Sci-fi]] [[Category:Category suppression supporting templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>
Replace this with {{User:Blast san/userboxes/User sci-fi}}
If you need help feel free to ask for help I could do your page without getting rid of a single userbox, just transcluding, in less than an hour. -PatPeter 15:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I used your provided code for the sci-fi box as you recommended, but I don't know how to go about changing the others. Geoffrey Allan Plauche 17:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Give me your permission and I can help you fix that. I will work to find the original userboxes, but tell me if any of these are your userboxes so that I can show you how to subpage that. Message me in the ==Userboxes== Section to my userpage. -PatPeter 01:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I am going to type down notes for the other userboxes
Your Page Title
Obviously your page title and your signature are different which can cause confusion, so I would suggest to you to copy this code and put it at the top of your userpage:
<div id="title-override" class="topicon" style="float: left; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0px; width: 98%; padding-top: 5px; display:none">
<div style="background: {{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|{{FULLPAGENAME}}|white|#F8FCFF}}; font-size: 188%; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.1em; position:relative; left:0.5em; margin-top:-0.2em;">
