message: At present the portal has articles about environmental issues and science Rather than having overlap with other science portals I feel we should narrow the focus down to anthropogenic effects on the natural environment as given in environmental issues.

message: Are you aware of this article?
Aside from the fact that the lemma itsself might be somewhat questonable, it might be important that people being well versed in the topic monitor that list, because otherwise it is likely to accumulate outdated and/or rectracted claims by various scientist, just to create an impression of a large scientific dissent regarding global warming.--Kmhkmh (talk) 22:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I suggest that all Selected articles now be of GA or FA standard, as we have plenty of high quality environment articles to choose from. And also suggest that many of the very short Selected article summaries be expanded into something more substantial. If there are no objections, I will revise accordingly. Johnfos (talk) 04:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: We currently have 27 selected articles, covering a diverse range of environmental topics. Of those, 6 are now FAs and 14 are now GAs, which means that the quality of the selected articles overall is really quite high. A more extensive summary of each of the articles has now been provided for readers.  And the Current events section has been updated. Johnfos (talk) 02:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm struck by the idealized and one-sided view of the 'natural environment' as (re)presented in the introduction to this portal. It is as if the last 30,000 years of human history have evaporated. We humans, flesh and blood, are part of nature, not apart from it. Can we get beyond such a dualistic (humans <=> nature) perspective? Not easy, but I would argue, important. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I help run a project called GibraltarpediA, we are trying to cover as much as possible in Gibraltar in as many languages as possible. The project is based on MonmouthpediA, where we created 550+ new articles in 30 languages in around 4 months, Monmouth became the world’s first Wikipedia town.
As part of GibraltarpediA we aim to cover every plant in the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens and create QRpedia codes (a type of bar code your phone can read through it's camera that automatically takes you through to a Wikipedia in your own language) in the garden to give people easy access to the information. As far as I know the first botanic garden to do this. A full list of the plants is available here, I would estimate around half already have some information in English but many have an article in other languages already.
We’ve started the Gibraltar Challenge to reward contributors where you can win books and tshirts etc. We’d really love people from WikiProject Environment to be involved, you can find out more by clicking here.
Many thanks

message: Natural landscape has come under attack by someone who is intent on destroying the natural in [Natural landscape]. I am confident that the encyclopedic definition of Natural landscape will be upheld.  In the last few days the same individual has returned with an agenda it would seem. The agenda seems to indicate that there is no remaining natural landscape and therefore the entire Earth is a so-called place to be groomed for resources. I'm not saying that that is completely without merit, but the evidence is that there remains a lot of natural landscape on the Earth and therefor Natural landscape is a proper term that cannot and must not be diluted. Please, part of the problem is the lack of qualified editors for Natural landscape. Natural landscape is listed as included in the Environmental Portal. Thank you. I will now return and try to correct the damage to Natural landscape using the Help Desk as best I can. Rstafursky (talk) 21:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

message: What kind of plastic is used for the packaging of Energizer batteries?
Specially I'm wondering what is the recycle code for the packaging of energizer batteries?
Is it 01-PET?
05-PP?
06-PS?
I figure those are the most likely types of plastic.
It is far too transparent of a plastic to be 02-HDPE and I don't think it would be 04-LDPE.
Any ideas?
Thanks

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
