thread_title:  notability.  

message: As I proofread Japanese edition (which volunteer editors other than me have translated from this English edition), I suspect a couple of typo errors in the present text of this article (English edition). Would anyone check these?
1992 Supplement: "two graphs or pre-instrumental temperatures". The sentence seems much more understandable if "or" is replaced by "of".
2001 Report (TAR): References "Jones et al. (1999)" and "Jones et al. (1998)" exist. I guess that the year should be 1998 in both cases. The reference list of Chapter 2 of TAR does contain "Jones et al. (1999a,b,c)", but they are not referred to in Section 2.3.3, and the titles suggest that they have different subject.--Masudako (talk) 18:32, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Of for Or, agree. 99 -> 98 agree. In the course of this I followed the link and we seem to have the wrong pic. We want fig 2.21, which  gives you, even if the link suggests it should be 2.20. Odd William M. Connolley (talk) 20:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The Japanese edition of this article is currently a translation of this English edition 'with references added'. At present all references are in English and valid for this English edition as well. (They will diverge sooner or later.) I am sorry I am not going to edit the English edition similarly. (Also note there may still be some inconsistency in the format of the list.) --Masudako (talk) 05:23, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  References added to the Japanese edition 

message: refers; someone says:
The appendix in Jones et al. 2009 (“High-resolution palaeoclimatology of the last millennium: a review of current status and future prospects” The Holocene, 19, 3-49) tries to describe where the IPCC 1990 Fig. 7c comes from.
They conclude that it was compiled from a series of publictions by H. H. Lamb and was only based on temperature records associated with Central England, so not global.
Further, Jones et al. point out that “At no place in any of the Lamb publications is there any discussion of an explicit calibration against instrumental data, just Lamb’s qualitative judgement and interpretation of what he refers to as the ‘evidence’”.
I haven't read the paper myself William M. Connolley (talk) 10:55, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fig 7.1.c (again) 

message: This really ought to have a source. We used to use Daly http://www.john-daly.com/hockey/hockey.htm but that's gone; perhaps he was too obviously a nutter William M. Connolley (talk) 21:50, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critics of the "hockey stick graph" of all subsequent reports have claimed that the record of the MWP and LIA were suppressed in the IPCC Third Assessment Report...

message: 1. There is no evidence that the variation evident in these reports is a notable topic independent to the reports and both the periods involved.
2. It appears all some of the editors who created this article are involved in climate science and/or organizations involved in such. 
3. This article contains no information that could not be included in the main Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age articles.
4. This article contains an excessive amount of technical detail along with excessive quotations. the entire article could be summed up in a few short paragraphs, yet covers an entire page.

replies: text: Thank you for your comment -- the tags added that correspond to your points 1 and 3 were useless without it, but in principle now there is something to discuss.  Point 2 is obviously absurd -- I have removed the tag.  (I am a mathematician and a member of the AMS; when I edit articles about the journals published by the AMS, for example, this is not a conflict of interest.)  The fourth would be much more persuasive if you made a concrete proposal or referred to any particular part of the article at all.  --JBL (talk) 15:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

text: (e/c) I've removed the remaining tags; they are just silly. Try talking first. Oh, here we are. Most of these tags seem to be your personal opinion. And yet many people have contributed to this article over the years, and so can be considered to at least implicitly disagree with you. I think the silliest one is the COI tag. The idea that a COI tag is needed because some of the people who wrote is are involved in climate science is simply unthinking. I urge you to think again, if you want to be taken seriously. Or if not, be consistent: go tag global warming too William M. Connolley (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
