Possible updates

{{tld|Request edit}}

I have received an email from Gregory. He is aware of the rules on conflict of interest. He has registered as {{User|Mreydhon}} and has submitted possible updates to this page at User:Mreydhon/sandbox - "I have prepared some possible updates for my page. These consist of correcting

a few things, adding a few things, and substituting a couple of more recent

references. In the revised page, I have indicated deletions by [delete: ...]

and new text in bold."

Since Gregory is a personal friend I would prefer an impartial editor to review the proposed changes. If no-one has done so by mid-August I will edit the article myself. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

::I was hoping for a more detailed response, as I am well aware of the two pages you have linked. Working through the proposed changes:

:*Change "Met Office Fellow in the climate-change group at the Hadley Centre" > "Met Office Science Fellow in climate change at the Hadley Centre". The current version has no explicit source. I propose to use the wording "Research Fellow in climate change at the Met Office Hadley Centre" from [http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/our-scientists/understanding-climate Understanding Climate Change - Met Office]. This is not an independent source, but I suggest that this change is not controversial in any way. {{done}}

:*Change "predicted that run-away melting of the Greenland ice sheet could start within 50 years, resulting in its total meltdown over the next 1000 years and a rise in the global sea-levels by 7 meters" > "predicted that the Greenland ice sheet is likely to be eliminated as a consequence of global warming, resulting in a rise in global sea-levels by 7 meters over the next 1000 years or more". This is currently sourced to the BBC and to the New Scientist. The new wording is supported by the New Scientist source.{{done}}

:*Change "IPCC 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report" > "IPCC 2001 Third Assessment Report". This just eliminates a duplicate "IPCC".{{done}}

:*Change "to the SAR chapter" > "to the sea level chapter in the IPCC Second Assessment Report". This can be sourced to page 58 (PDF page 68) of {{cite web

:*Add: "and chapter 10 Global Climate Projections<ref>[http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg1/en/ch10.html Chapter 10: Global Climate Projections], IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, 2007, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Accessed July 29, 2011 </ref>". This proposed addition is sourced.{{done}}

:*Change: "an Advanced Fellowship grant by the European Research Council" > "an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council to carry out research on sea level change". This is currently sourced to [http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/people/jonathan-gregory Jonathan Gregory, researcher profile] and the new wording is consistent with that source.{{done}}

:*Add: "In addition to sea level change, Gregory has worked in recent years... (etc)". This has no source and cannot be added.

:*Selected publications: The proposed changes include the deletion of two of these and the addition of two new ones.

:*I have just made the two corrections to the URLs in the External Links section. The NCAS link probably fails WP:EL though. {{done}} Removed per WP:EL. My76Strat (talk) 05:51, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
