[edit] Citations for Light pollution article

Hi CelticWonder. Thanks for the recent additions to the Light pollution article. I was wondering if you have any citations of sources available for the statements you've added, though. (Particularly the note about elevated blood pressure and stress under fluorescent lights, and the dimished sexual performance.) It wouldn't surprise me too much, but the article in general looks better if it can back things up with citations. Thanks. Izogi 08:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Oops, my mistake. Serves me right for not reading the diffs properly. Thanks. Izogi 07:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PC Club

By common consent the editing of articles on companies by their employees can be problematic. I suggest you take a step back.

Thank you for watching over the PC Club page... But if Wikipedia can have pages like TravelMate 2300 that is a verbatim copy of an advertisement, or the likes of Emachines can link to reviews, I see no reason why system reviews cannot be posted for PC Club. If you would please notice, only one of them is mentioned on their website anyway -- and the last one of the three is NOT favorable (note the tech support score at the preceding link to HardOCP), which is why all THREE are added to the wiki page. I really should note on the Wiki article that PC Club HQ representatives were eager to supply true excuses for such a poor score (instead of gloss over the issue like so many other companies do) and that HardOCP gave "kudos to PC Club for giving [them] some explanations as to what is going on with their company." I'll leave that addition to your discretion.

And if an article about any company was created by a person who wasn't associated with it in some way, why in the world would they do it? Wouldn't someone who is involved with a company be better equipped to make an informative (and less biased) page than someone who is not or even has animosity toward it? Your comment "By common consent the editing of articles on companies by their employees can be problematic. I suggest you take a step back." makes no sense. Apple may as well have third parties like Microsoft or Dell write their website for them by that logic, and leave Apple out of contribution to their own website.
