Talk:The Climate Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Origins

This is a worthy subject for an encyclopedia. It just needs a lot of work. This page began as a cut-and-paste of the "About Us" section of The Climate Project's website. In that form it was all written from a very autobiographical/first person plural standpoint. As such it assumed too much about its own relevance an importance (it made little effort to place itself in context or to document its own notability, and, desipte having existed for an hour, did not appear to be evolving more encyclopedically. In good faith, I reverted my own request for speedy delection, and I've tried to trim back that POV and just focus on what it is and what it does. Remaining issues as of this date:

• Shouldn't it be The Climate Project? Proper names are capitalized, yes?
• Not balanced (there's an implicit thread throughout that all its activities are good and worthwhile, which is fine for an "About Us" section but not for an encyclopedia entry). This should either be trimmed further or balanced with other voices.
• One source (Even if they were universally loved, we should still worry that all we know about them so far comes from their website)
• Uncategorized and unlinked. Should be related to more climate change articles ("climate crisis" is probably too polemical)

I am not convinced that this article is notable, but I am going to refrain from retagging it at this time seeing that it is still a work in progress. I have removed the "hangon" template from the article so that it will no longer show up on WP:CSD. I have added this to my watchlist and I will be checking back on it in a couple days. Good luck with the article. Trusilver 04:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
