Talk:Nuclear Information and Resource Service

message: So it appears that the NIRS logo was erased, perhaps this was
not properly credited to us or the public domain in the wikimedia
space.  Can anyone help get this back - it is located on the NIRS.ORG website

message: As a reader unfamilar with the organization, I want to point out some thoughts on a few facts and wording.  The statement:
Specialists at NIRS offer more than 100 years of combined experience on the environmental, health and safety detriments of nuclear power.
Makes the NIRC sound really small.  100 years of combined experience typically means half a dozen people at most.  And then,
Together with its partner WISE (World Information Service on Energy), NIRS outreach spans the globe, with 14 offices on five continents [1].
seems just slightly misleading since it doesn't say who's offices they are, WISE of NIRS.  In the case of the later, it sounds slightly contradictory to the previous quote there.  And in general I don't think a reader DOES get an idea of the size and scope of the NIRS by reading it.
Anyway, just wanted to point that out in case it was of use to any of you.  Happy editing! theanphibian 22:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: World Information Service on Energy redirects here, but the article is mostly about nirs, although it says it has merged with the WISE? -- eiland (talk) 15:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

message: As a reader only slightly familar with the organization, I want to point out some thoughts on a few facts and wording.  The statement:
Critics accuse NIRS of fearmongering and question the qualifications of NIRS staff to adequately assess the safety of nuclear energy. No NIRS staff member is credited with formal training in nuclear physics or engineering.9
is unhelpful.  I note that no paid staff member of our local American Lung Association is an M.D.  This lack of low-paid staffer medical degrees doesn't in fact make the Lung Association medically deficient.  This cheap stunt smells like the work of the nuclear industry's well-funded troll farm.  I ask that the Wikipedia brain trust be officially on alert for such hacking attempts against their institution.
