Alarmist "Peak Lithium" paragraph removed[edit]

The cited source does not qualify as reliable by Wikipedia guidelines. Meridian Research International is a one-man operation founded by William Tahil, the author of the report. I can find no indication of his qualifications, and his report cites no sources. At least one geologist has called his reports on peak lithium alarmist and ludicrous: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julesa (talk • contribs) 21:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. This kind of one-guy's opinion POV-pushing thing in a very general article like this, is the very kind of thing which is damaging for an encyclopedia, which should carry only generally agreed-on facts (of which there are plenty on lithium!). We rely on skeptical editors to find stuff like this eventually, but it stays too long as is, if it sounds even halfway reasonable. Anyhow, good job. And welcome to Wikipedia, though you sound like you've already getting your feet wet quite fast! S B H arris 09:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
