message: Removed this paragraph from the article due to lack of consensus and emerging edit warring around 5 December - the by-election day, when Clive Hamilton was a candidate for a seat in the Australian Parliament.  
Hamilton's work offers a critique of modern capitalism and consumerism, generally from a "left-wing perspective", although he has also been criticised from the left as being right-wing. Green Wowser is No Leftie, The Australian retrieved 4 December 2009, including his support for internet censorship.Liberal takes no chances in Higgins WA Today, retrieved 4 December 2009  
Please find consensus here about best description of his political orientation. In any case, this paragraph should be in the Political career section and not his Work which is much broader than the political realm. Elekhh (talk) 06:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Political orientation

message: The following are refs I removed because the information they were supposed to be supporting was removed. They are generally about the response to his book Scorcher and its claims of climate denialist behaviour by Australian mainstream media. Donama (talk) 05:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed references (not supporting any text) 

message: Esmerelda sent a quote from a letter from Hamilton above: Mr. Hamilton sent me recently regarding this page: "There are quite a few (errors) on the current wiki page, eg. having me as both a professor at CAPPE and holding the VC's chair (they are in fact the same position)..."
Anyway it looks like that information in the lead of the article is sourced from his page at CAPPE (http://www.cappe.edu.au/staff/clive-hamilton.htm) and has not been copy-edited from the original so is currently a copyright violation. Let's first fix that and second, Esmerelda, we need a source to cite from to change information and if his CAPPE biograqphy is wrong he needs to ask CAPPE to publish an updated one.

replies: text: From Clive "On my designation, maybe it's best to leave it as it is. I was appointed to the Vice-Chancellor's chair then we (the University and I) talked about where I should be located (deciding on CAPPE) and what the name of my position should be (we settled on "Professor of Public Ethics"). So it is not wrong, but may mislead people into thinking I hold two positions."
I think than maybe it should just be reworded slightly to improve accuracy. Shall I begin the rewrite of the initial paragraph, or would you like to? 
Also, good observation about the copyvio donama- I did not even see that.

replies: text: You're welcome to reword it, so long as the meaning is as intended by the sources and you don't add anything that's not in the sources. Donama (talk) 03:11, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and amended the first portion of the article to hopfully avoid the copyvio, and additionally to *attempt* to clarify that the two positions overlap. see what you think. I did, however, notice that the third aticle referenced (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/lets-have-a-debate-aunty/story-e6frg996-1225839746178) referring to his status as a "well known climate change advocate" was a pretty poor source and only gives him cursory mention in the text. I'm sure there's got to be a better article for verifying his status as "well known". Any ideas?Esmeralda.rupp (talk) 03:57, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Talking of copyvio, the new lead image needs an OTRS from the license holder (i.e. photographer or Allen&Unwin), otherwise will be quickly deleted. If you manage to get one for this image or another one, I suggest uploading it to Commons, not Wikipedia, so that is available for all Wikimedia projects, after all this article might be translated into other languages as well. --Elekhh (talk) 04:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have contacted the copyright holder and they have said that they will (probably already have) sent in the form letter to Wikipedia that should resolve the issue with the image. They have said they are happy to have Wikipedia use it. The vio-notice should be removed shortly. When it is, I'll absolutely upload it to commons, but I want to make sure it's cleared up here first.Esmeralda.rupp (talk) 23:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyvio

message: The term "climate change advocate" is in the lede, properly sourced, but has no credible meaning.  It's been proposed that it be changed to climate change mitigation advocate, which makes sense, is probably accurate, but does not have a source presented.  If someone could provide a good source for that, it would be helpful.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 09:58, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed it in its entirety, and the source was not appropriate for claims about a BLP. Viriditas (talk) 12:15, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
