Please don't do this kind of thing [1] without discussing it on talk first William M. Connolley (talk) 11:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just be prepared for a grindfest of pointless implied objections that don't actually improve the text. For example, see my proposal for a section on modern global warming. WMC and co have longstanding objections to popular press pieces and now are trying to keep out peer reviewed papers. This page is hijacked and is really useful mostly as a sociological study of how global warming consensus is manufactured by ignoring wikipedia guidelines, rules, and policies..
