Hello, I'm Everymorning. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Global warming hiatus, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Hi, looking at your edit I think you meant to comment on the article talk page, Talk:Global warming hiatus. While it seems a fair point, I don't think it's enough in itself to explain much of the slowdown, and for us to consider it for Wikipedia the argument would have had to have been published in a reliable source which could be cited as a basis of the edit or for discussion. It can be tedious, but you'll appreciate that Wikipedia can't use original research, and needs good quality sources which excludes self-published sources such as most blogs. So, in my non-expert view the latent heat of fusion absorbed by ice melting is one of the factors that scientists will have considered, and is likely to be discussed somewhere in the scientific literature, but since it's not prominent in discussions, it probably is too small to make a big difference. That's my guess, you could try looking in the IPCC 2013 science assessment (WG1) which gives a comprehensive if massive overview as of a couple of years ago. Thanks anyway, I hope this gives some pointers on how to improve articles! . . dave souza, talk 20:31, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
