Help desk question
See my late reply to your question:


 * WP:HD (diff)

You may be interested in Appropedia, which is a wiki running the same MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia, but it allows original work and a much wider range of content about environmental topics than Wikipedia. Plus you can write advocacy material on Appropedia which would violate Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. See Transwikiing for instructions on how to move content from Appropedia to Wikipedia if it turns out to be encyclopedic when you have developed it there. --Teratornis (talk) 03:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Interwiki linking
See Help:Interwiki linking for instructions on how to link to some other wikis from Wikipedia with a compact syntax. For example, here is a link to Appropedia your user page: From Appropedia, you can link back to Wikipedia with the  interwiki prefix, for example: Also, it is inadvisable to display your email address on your user page. This will attract spambots (web scraper programs that harvest email addresses for spammers). Instead you can set your Special:Preferences to enable other users to email you from the wiki, without exposing your address. See WP:EMAIL. --Teratornis (talk) 19:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * It looks like you already enabled email on your Wikipedia account. --Teratornis (talk) 19:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Which means it is not necessary to display your email address here. Visitors to your page will see an E-mail this user link in the toolbox to the left. If that is not obvious enough by itself, you could replace your literal email address with something like: Send me an email. --Teratornis (talk) 19:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Investment page
I removed "Green Investment" from types of "Types of Investment" category of the Investment wiki page. Green Investment is not a type of investment. Rather it is a sector to invest in, like biotech, or energy, or gold. A type of investment would be an equity, bond, currency, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.19.100 (talk) 15:45, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Reforestation
Hi, I've been working on the restructuring of the citation/reference sections in the Reforestation article, according to Article Blamer, you're responsible for the B.W., Time Magazine, 2007 reference. I don't know what exactly that refers to as it wasn't placed in the reference section- would you be able to correct it or link me to what your source was for that? I want to keep the material it sources as it adds to the article, but not at the expense of having it unreferenced. Thanks. Minnecologies (talk) 00:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Bioenergy related article might be deleted need help/advice
Hi. I created an article about MHG Systems, a company that is making software for Bioenergy and Forestry industries. One experienced user has claimed, that the article is not notable enough - could you express your opinion as a person interested in forestry in the Article discussion page about the notability of the links? Or may be give some advice on how to save the article? Rpisarenko (talk) 14:53, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
