Just curious
Where did you find that external link? - Tommy! [ message ] 20:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

I am a scientist who is interested in outreach and I have been in contact with David P. Stern, who has made some education web sites about Space and Earth's magnetosphere. I thought to add links to his site on appropriate pages. Let me know if you have suggestions how to avoid inappropriate linking... Thanks for the welcome!
 * Nope, sounds fine.. doesn't seem to violate wp:elno. Thanks and you're welcome - Tommy! [ message ] 11:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

LDS criticism
All criticisms listed in said article are legitimate, and several of them are sourced. Your attempt to rid SimWP of Mormon criticisms could be construed as POV pushing  Pur ple  back pack 89    15:36, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Swri logo.gif
 Thanks for uploading File:Swri logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 06:02, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Jordan Lead
Ignoring the fact that the Daily Mail often pushes fringe and isn't a reliable source for archaeology, can you find this alleged study? No one ever links to it, searched don't show it up, the usual reliable archaeology news sites don't have it, etc. The Elkingtons are amateurs, and the Daily Mail mention of Schonfield - what's that about? He died decades ago. Doug Weller talk 17:01, 18 December 2016 (UTC)


 * yes, thanks. This is the study:

 * That's pretty funny. Dated on the 6th, after the tabloids reported it. Interesting but we don't use press releases either. It's also a pretty odd press release. You'd expect just a statement of fact reporting their study, but the press release is clearly pushing a pov, making statements such as a quote saying unnamed studies have proven whatever, using Matthew Hood extensively and ridiculously trying to make him impressive with "Matthew Hood, BEng, MSc, CEng, FRINA, MAPM, CDipAF, MIET, RCNC, Ministry of Defence employee for over 20 years and Deputy Project Manager for the Future Royal Yacht" - really, how does all of this make him an expert on the codices? He co-wrote a book by the Elkingtons - and note they couldn't find a proper publisher. The comments here on Sarah Book Publishing don't suggest they meet our criteria at WP:RS.
