Sourcing
Thanks for your contributions to the environmentalism article. That said, if you want to make extraordinary claims you need high-quality sources. A claim by a non-expert in an newspaper Op-Ed doesn't cut it.

Please also be aware of the Wikipedia's rules against 'edit-warring'. If someone reverts your addition, please bring it to the article's talk page and work to develop consensus for your position. Don't keep re-adding the same material. Thanks. Guettarda (talk) 19:18, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

More on how not to edit war
Before any more editing, please review about what to do when you are reverted. The next step is to DISCUSS at the article talk page, where we have certain guidelines to follow. If you are unhappy with the discussion, don't keep restoring the reverted text or variations of it. Instead, rely on dispute resolution. If you keep edit warring, you might get blocked from editing NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 20:15, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Neutrality
At Tax you were reverted by someone else who cited WP:UNDUE, and I agree with them. However, the bigger problem with your edit is with respect to our WP:Neutrality policy. Shockingly, you might say. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 20:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
