| quote = Who am I? Whenever I wonder, I check in on Wikipedia, to get the latest surmise. At different times I’ve been described as a writer, blogger, coffee-shop owner, global warming denier, astroturfer and entrepreneur. One description I haven’t usually found on Wikipedia, at least not over the last 18 months — is of me as an environmentalist, the only occupation I’ve continually engaged in over the last 30 years.
“Insuffecient [sic] evidence to call him environmentalist,” explained Raul654, one Wikipedian, in rejecting another Wikipedian’s description of me as an environmentalist as inadequate. The rejected Wikipedian had cited references to me as an environmentalist in the Financial Post, The American Spectator, and The Washington Times.

Founder or co-founder?

The reference I added to Energy Probe only describes him as one of the 1980 EPRF co-founders, but doesn't say who were the others. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 21:06, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

:"Our History: Energy Probe was founded in 1969 as a project of the Pollution Probe Foundation..." [http://ep.probeinternational.org/about/our-history/ Our history].

:Solomon was 21 in 1969, and thus seems unlikely to be a founder. --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

References are predominately to Solomon

We need more third-party independent sources in this article. Are there any profiles on this person available? Do we have much in the way of sources that document his notability and can serve as verification of the primary sources cited here? jps (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
