387:") seems to be full of unstated assumption, making it very hard to answer in a non-misleading way! I have a lot of trust in the quality of the global warming consensus (i.e. the IPCC report, refined by later work). I think it warrants gouvernment action. But I don't think gouvernment action should "force" behavioral changes, but rather support and encourage them (i.e. by long-term and deterministically increasing taxation on fossil fuel use, offset by subventions for cleaner solutions). The market is excellent at optimising economic behaviour, but gouvernments should set the conditions that optimal economic behaviour coincides with the common good (i.e. by putting a fair price on the use common resources like the ocean or the atmosphere to avoid the 183:
transport of governmental gold or silver reserves to pay off national accounts was not the means by which international gold (or silver in many cases) standards were imposed, but instead by the relative market prices of different coins or notes, often set either by banks or internally by a government (for example Newton's assay). With settlement in a standard coin, particularly for bills of trade, the effect is to standardize convertible value, even, or often especially, in the absence of government reserves being transfered. Governments often ended up responding to bleeding coinage in wake of such adjustments by ending the circulation of gold or silver coins, and issuing notes instead which reduced the ability of specie to flee a particular nation.

You might want to talk with user Mel Ettis about this, as he is a good editor from an academic background who has no particular ideological axe to grind. There are lots of others as well.

Stirling has lots of friends on the Internet that consistently ask him why he views any attempt to disagree with him as a personal attack, why his POV is the correct POV, and why if you make any attempt to counter his actions, you are attacking and harassing him. 559:
Unlike Will, I consider a proper description of this appropriate for the page of Hikind; he has after all taken credit for it publicly, according to two acceptable sources. I disagree about your characterization of it as defamatory. How can it be: he seems to have issued a press release lauding his

I would advise that you be less hostile, and far less POV in your edits. I would also advise that you not associate with trolls, particularly people who troll off of wikipedia.

The article had reached a point where it was deviating significantly from "Neutral Point of View", particularly both the introduction and significant sections of the body.

Please desist with the accusations of bad faith. And please try to be more accurate and less POV in your edits. So far you seem to desire making working on this page unpleasant, and have hurled a series of attacks and insults that is beginning to go beyond the realm of discussion and into the realm

In an international gold-standard system, which may exist in the absence of any internal gold standard, gold or a currency that is convertible into gold at a fixed price is used as a means of making intergovernmental payments. Under such a system, when the exchange rate between two currencies rises

Unlike Yossiea, I consider YWN an adequate source to used along with the Daily News for this material. I am not sure whether I would accept it as the sole source, but it is only one of two and can be used to support the other. I have restored it to the article. The place for further discussion is

as such, just the normal learning curve of the vast subculture which is wikipedia. It is pretty easy to stay on the good side of wikipedia - just make good edits, write new articles in a well researched NPOV style, and people will rapidly notice. This is particularly true of people who turn stubs

Likewise, I mean to give up on editing the twelve articles on New York politicians who do not seem to have sought or encouraged publicity for what now must be regarded as an underhanded move that they didn't want to get caught at. I do plan to list the twelve in Hikind's article, with links, of
