Hi. I would like to ask whether you would agree to participate in a short survey on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies in articles pertaining to global warming and climate change. If interested, please get in touch via my talkpage or email me Encyclopaedia21 (talk) 17:20, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for your comment at Talk:Zo (people)#Proposed merger Zo/Zou. Unfortunately, Khumpita is not a current contributor, so we will have to work without any of his additional insights.

Hi, just to let you know, I started a discussion here regarding your re-additions to Template:TBSW. Cheers, timsdad ^(talk) 00:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was very disappointed to see that you removed my (previously anonymous) edit regarding the relation between cap and trade and taxes. Your comment that they are only equivalent in theory, not in practice, is false; there always exists an emissions fee that would have the same economic effects, though in the presence of uncertainty, it may not be the fee you had anticipated. For an introductory sentence, I thought that that would be too complex. I get this, not only from the cited textbook itself, but also personal communications with its author, Harvey Rosen, who used this subtle but very important fact in practice while serving as the Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers in 2005.

I meant that addition to be apolitical; from an economics standpoint, it's simply one of the most fundamental things to realize about a cap and trade system.

I am putting together a longer section, detailing the proof of why this is true, as well as a discussion of how uncertainty affects things. I was shocked to see this not already on the page.

Achilles1212 (talk) 01:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ah, but see, that's the crux of the issue. You imply that we need to cap at a certain value for all of time. In fact, the appropriate cap changes just as much as the price of the permit does (or the appropriate value of a tax). The appropriate cap (and the appropriate tax value) is determined by when the marginal cost to society of reducing output by one more unit of pollution outweighs the marginal benefit of society of that reduction. This can be represented as the intersection of the marginal cost and marginal benefits curves. Anything that changes these curves (such as a deterioration in economic confidence) changes both the appropriate price (or tax) and the appropriate cap. Thus, to do a proper job and make sure that you maximize the net benefits to society, one would have to constantly adjust the cap in a cap and trade or the tax in an emissions fee system. I'll discuss this in much more detail with graphs and equations in my section.

Achilles1212 (talk) 16:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please tell me how anything I've said is normative. I don't believe that a cap-and-trade system or a tax system is better. They are each appropriate for different issues. It's all determined by the shapes of the marginal costs and marginal benefits curve. You are correct in saying that Congress could never implement a changing marginal tax rate. Neither could they implement a changing cap. Unfortunately, the appropriate value (tax or cap) will change, so one has to pick the system that will keep emission levels closer to the new societal optimum. This is where uncertainty comes in and you have to give your best guess. Sometimes the optimum quantity of reduction will vary a lot, while the optimum price of reduction will not; here it's better to guess the price to society and implement a tax. Other times, the price will vary a lot while the optimum quantity stays fairly fixed; here it is better to guess the desired quantity and set a cap. So while a cap-and-trade system could be appropriate for carbon, a tax system may be appropriate for sulfur (I don't know which is better for which; people spend their lives doing just these calculations). This is a completely positive statement; one or the other will get you closer to the optimal situation.

That said, at any one moment in time, there is a definite price to buying a permit to produce one unit of pollution in a cap-and-trade system. If, at the moment, one were to replace the cap-and-trade system with a tax per unit equal to the price of a permit, then absolutely nothing would change. All companies would still clean up the same amount. As time goes forward in the two scenarios, things would be different as conditions change. Nevertheless, there always exists a cap that would have the same effect as a given tax at a single moment in time, and there always exists a tax that would have the same effect as a cap. In a cap-and-trade system, the tax value changes all the time. In a tax system, the cap changes all the time.

Hi Jorfer,

Once again I've received personal insults and attacks by a member who seems to think this is fine. His user talk page is just rife with people telling him to stop with the insults and disparaging comments. The only thing I can think to do is to request he be blocked, and I'm not sure why he hasn't been in the past after looking at the numerous individuals commenting on this problem on his own talk page. Although I found information on what a user block is, I can't seem to find any info on how to actually request a user block, which at this point I think is warranted. If you know how to request a block, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks...

Hi, I relocated the "students doing research in library" photo to the "As a pedagogical tool" section. I didn't meean to imply by putting it in the lede that only students do essays. I appreciate your concerns about the appropriateness of photos. Interestingly, WP:Images says that you are allowed to illustrate abstract concepts with pictures. The example they give is that you could illustrate "social inequality" with a photo of a poor person standing near an expensive car. Now "essay" is not an abstract concept like "social inequality"...you could have a photo of an essay. It's just that, well...a photo of an essay wouldn't look very interesting. It would be a piece of paper with typing on it :)............... as such, I was trying to think of a way of illustrating the process of writing an essay. I guess another way to illustrate "essay" is with photos or paintings of famous essayists. What do you think?OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 20:48, 22 November 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Euthanasia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:32, 5 August 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why have you reverted my edit to Gerrymandering, calling it POV? An upcoming boundary review of UK Parliamentary constituencies was listed as an example of gerrymandering. The citation given is from an opposition politician (Jack Straw) calling it so. But just because Straw, or in fact any politician, says something is "gerrymandering", that doesn't make it true. In fact, as I said in my edit comment, the UK has an independent Electoral Commission, so it is hard to see exactly how gerrymandering could take place. But regardless, unless there's a neutral source calling the boundary review "gerrymandering", I see no reason why it should be listed as an example, and that's why I deleted that section.

And I guess by calling my edit POV, you are implying that I am supportive of the UK coalition government in some way. For what it's worth, I am not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.110.189.135 (talk) 21:25, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi,

I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:

• Outline of solar energy
• Outline of wind energy

Please take a look at them, and....

if you spot missing topics, add them in.

if you can, improve the descriptions.

add missing descriptions.

show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).

fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking ((Main)) links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:48, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:What's the use of going through with the Election.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text ((di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>)) below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:29, 16 December 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Dolphinsonneborn.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 00:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Requests for Miami peer review requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!
