Please don't put up links to photos taken by some other random person just because they happen to share my name.Jdannan 10:06, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subject edits

This page has been repeatedly edited by the subject of the page. It should be taken down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.144.12 (talk) 20:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why? It's not forbidden, the last time he did edit is more than 18 months ago, and all the edits I checked either corrected obviously wrong stuff (like removing images showing the wrong person) or adding references. If you see a problem, WP:COIN is around the corner... --Stephan Schulz (talk) 20:59, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FG edits

These [1] are obviously unacceptable and will be going... William M. Connolley (talk) 08:43, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think your definition of "unacceptable" may be a bit different than the rest of us. What exactly is your objection? A personal swipe at a living person on a blog has no business here. Source the claim from a RS (I remember seeing it in a newspaper at the time, so it should be around somewhere) and I won't object to it. Fell Gleaming^(talk) 08:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiographical content

The subject of biographical content editing their own Wikipedia page is preposterous. Particularly when it comes to trying to censor mistakes the subject has made.

Perhaps before frothing you could have a look at how the page started. Feel free to move for its removal. While it is here I will edit it as I want.Jdannan (talk) 13:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And that's doubly true when your edits are clueless vandalism.Jdannan (talk) 13:35, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Recent Events on James Annan's Climat Bets

Maybe someone should add an entry detailing the recent £100 climat bet that James Annan lost to Dr. David Whitehouse. It is being announced on the BBC's "More or Less" show later today (13 Jan 2012). ^{[1 1]} ^{[1 2]} ^{[1 3]}

Maybe the edit should also mention that according to the updated HadCRUT analysis, 2010 was actually warmer than 1998 :-) Jdannan (talk) 07:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a good source for that, yes, it should.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 14:23, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed; I think the sourcing is just about OK for the current text, but I'm reluctant to add much more without better sourcing. The Dellingpole blog is technically under Telegraph editorial control, but even so hardly counts as NPOV without a balancing source. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 19:37, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what counts as a reliable source in wikipedia-world, but in the real world I've have thought that a pdf hosted on the met office website (as linked from my blog) is more reliable than just about anything in the gutter press.Jdannan (talk) 03:37, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Annan Wins Bet

See [2]. Reliable sources will notice soon, I guess. --Hob Gadling (talk) 13:34, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
