Hello

Hi Thanks for your interest in climate change denial. I've tweaked some of your edits and just wanted to say "more!" "more!" keep 'em coming NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 00:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • @NewsAndEventsGuy: Thanks for your kind feedback. However, I don't think there's any puffery involved in describing Aaron McCright as a 'long time student of climate change denial'. I put it there as a neutral description of his credentials in the field, adding credibility to his assessment. The description is also supported by the source referenced. Please reconsider your tweak... Gaeanautes (talk) 20:09, 16 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
decline, but if you can persuade eds at the neutrality notice board I would go along with the result. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
@NewsAndEventsGuy: Narh, never mind. Suit yourself. Gaeanautes (talk) 18:19, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

WIT

edit

WIT and it’s publishing arm are the subject of substantial criticism. They ar3 associated with journals and conferences that have published junk science, even including creationism. If the author is good, please find a replacement source by them with a reputable publisher. Guy (Help!) 22:46, 23 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

@RzG: I still have no quarrel with WIT Press. I think your crusade against alleged 'predatory' publishers is ripe with disturbing problems. Consider each problem in turn:
All in all, your deal here seems to be irrelevant, unjust and contrary to the general purpose of WP. According to your user talk page, you are both an experienced user and a trusted administrator at WP, so you obviously outrank me; however, I still think your stance is untenable. I hope we can sort it all out like grown-ups, as you put it yourself. I would very much like a reply to this post, thank you. Gaeanautes (talk) 19:23, 18 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
I am not doing any such thing. These journals have no effective peer review, so they do not meet our standards for reliable sources. It's that simple. Guy (Help!) 21:40, 18 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
@RzG: I would still very much like to restore Tiezzi's book in the article on Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen. According to the present content guideline on reliable sources, predatory publishing pertains only to low quality articles published in journals lacking a reliable peer review process. But Tiezzi's book is indeed a book, so the guideline obviously does not apply here. What do you say? Gaeanautes (talk) 18:52, 15 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

And I'd rather you didn't. It would be, I think the only cite to that questionable press on Wikipedia. Guy (Help!) 16:40, 10 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Help with Philosophical pessimism and Antinatalism#Asymmetry between good and bad things

edit

Hello there! I see you've been quite active in some things related to the above mentioned pages. I'm pinging you @Gaeanautes: directly to ask for some help. I've started 3 initiatives for these pages. If you could spare some time in the near future, could you please take a look at the proposal and voice your opinion? Of course, if you have interest, time, and energy to participate that would be amazing!

Here are the projects:

1. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal for an overhaul of the article — this initiative is already in progress. The idea is to raise the quality of the page by switching it from a mere historical account to a more encyclopedic format.

2. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal to split the History into a dedicated page — related to the one above. The historical account is overly detailed. It would be much better to have a dedicated page for the history of philosophical pessimism and leave only a brief history in the main page.

3. Talk:Antinatalism#A proposal to create a dedicated page for Benatar's axiological asymmetry — here, the idea is to extract the axiological asymmetry argument into a dedicated page. This way, a more detailed presentation could be given. In addition, we could expand on the various responses others philosophers made and counters from Benatar. Other pages could have a brief description and link to the details page.

I hope at least some of this will spark your interest! Fantastiera (talk) 13:57, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
