message: I see there has been a dispute about this page before. However, the tone of this page seems to be quite heavily in favour of Lynas.

message: I will get back to this and restore it and so note here when I do. However, in advance, I think you are blurring this Lynas page with the TSE debate. Removing the part of the quote you did I think substantially reduces the quality of this Mark Lynas article. His somewhat strident, rant-esque explanation/justification of the pie incident gives a sense of what he is like, at least, politically. It speaks to your feelings that he is distasteful in his extremism. At the very least, it fills out, for this one individual, the meaning of calling him an activist. Don't forget, this isn't a Lomborg/TSE page, there's no POV on that count involved here. BTW, like it or not, you know that High Tide is quite interesting and from its own particular angle, if you've taken a look... Tsavage 19:11, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On the contrary, I removed the rant because doing to improve the article.  This article shouldn't be a soap-box for Lynas, it should confine itself to describing him and his actions.  It is enough to leave the "smug face" section of the quote in order to give an accurate depiction of his personality and attitude.  The rationalization and irrelevant speculation add nothing.  --JonGwynne 03:39, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the rest of that quote. OK, the "rant" maybe gets distracting, going off as it does into detail on a whole other topic, and the Baked Alaska bit is maybe contrived, if it wasn't a Baked Alaska, making it SEEM more soap box rhetoric, less representative of any one individual's personality. I mean, that's definitely an argument for the brief article as it is now. Perhaps it needs a section of Lynas' public statements and manifestos...! Anyhow, I removed the rest of that quote as well, because I find ending on "smug face" as a short snapper, out of context of the rest of the quote, is also leading for the reader, and "pies for damn lies" seems to strike a good balance between in indicating angry self-righteous tone and sloganeering. Or whatever. (Who would have thought so much could be discussed in such detail for such a so far short article about an, according to some, obscure and meaningless guy?!)

replies: text: Indeed...  Lynas should send us both Christmas cards to thank us for elevating him in this regard.  As for the "smug" section, I don't have a problem with that part because it is his statement as to why he did it.  The rest of his rant is secondary (and arguably a rationalization) to his stated antagonism towards Lomborg.  So if you want to put the "smug" bit back, that's fine.--JonGwynne 00:44, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lynas and pies 

message: I rewrote the latter paragraphs about Lynas' books to read less like advertisements for them, and removed the direct quotes (which were unsourced in any case). I believe the article now meets NPOV standard, and will remove the POV tag - if you disagree, please explain what more you think needs to be done. Terraxos 05:45, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Has the green movement lost its way?, by S. Rustin, 7/2/11. Should be good for expanding the article. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 18:15, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  New article on Lynas at Guardian 

message: This article refers to Bjorn Lomborg in passing as an environmentalist. Bjorn Lomborg is in no way an environmentalist. His work is strongly anti-environmental. I would simply suggest deleting the reference to Bjorn Lomborg in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.126.71 (talk) 00:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
