Headed in the right direction?
Sorry, but I really have no interest in that article. Don't know why I went there, but it was edited by a known sock who may have somehow got me looking at the article. Good luck. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:12, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

ACCCE, etc.
Greetings! Also responding to the message you left me. Thank you for the note on my essay; I'm always a little surprised (or flattered) when people run into it. -- I looked at the infobox and I think it's fine. The topic is a hard one, but if you know that up front it may not be as bad: be advised that you, as a newcomer, are stepping right into the one of the most contentious topics, and one of the most sustained brawls, in the history of Wikipedia. (At least onto its periphery.) With almost anything that touches on the topic of climate change, be prepared for people who may argue with anything you do. Then again you may be no problem at all! I edit a lot of fossil fuel stuff -- oil and gas fields, energy companies, oil spills, refineries, because I find the topic interesting, almost no one else does, and it's a quiet corner of Wikipedia, at least for now. I'd write about renewables but there's ten times as many editors there. (I have to be very careful of WP:COI, as it's probably perfectly obvious I work for an oil company or something similar.) Regarding the ACCCE article:  it clearly can be expanded. Source everything, make sure the writing is neutral, try to include both viewpoints on controversial stuff. Advice I like to give is this: write in such a way that it would be impossible for an outside observer to determine whether you are personally for or against what the organization stands for. All the best, Antandrus (talk) 02:04, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Looks good to me -- it appears to be an improvement and expansion, so I'd say go ahead and update the article with your sandbox version. Needs a little bit of copyediting (e.g. it's --> its) but that's easy stuff.  Nothing jumps out at me, but I didn't read it closely nor am I intimately familiar with the topic. (I know a little about "clean coal" and carbon sequestration, but I wasn't familiar with the organization.)  I think you're on the right track!
