107: 99: 445: 76: 115: 158:. There has been a lot of discussion on the talk page about possible neutrality/spin issues, so attention to that would be appreciated, as well. 524:
Short article but interesting. The tone in the last section is obviously strained; hard to talk about this without going into overt bashing.

Huh, I didn't think of that either. I'll check the source again, but I think my rephrasing here works.

Hmm, nothing, I guess: changed. Should I say, "serves as spokesman for the movement" or "serves as

Alright, thanks for your help, I took a first run through the points, I'll revisit again later.
240:"facing humanity and the Earth's biosphere" Isn't it more the Earth's biosphere then humanity? 576: 562: 548: 508: 447: 423: 394: 352: 330: 311: 290: 269: 245: 222: 208: 162: 589:

326:"adopted a logo" When? If unknown you should say "around this time" 221:
Mitch Ames reverted the change, I'll take it up on the talk page.
345:"primary advocate of the movement's platforms" Whatawho? 141: 134: 103: 203:Rephrased, the quote was actually the writer for 289:Good point, I took a stab at smoothing it out. 439:"such as gardening" He's not being sarcastic? 70: 8: 150:This peer review discussion has been closed. 306:"in 1996, VHEMT..." VHEMT or this one fool? 77: 63: 32: 261:"was founded..." Founded when? What year? 35: 351:without saying "principal spokesman". 543:LOL, that one hadn't occurred to me. 7: 607:Well there you go, looks fine now. 414:"psychologist James Ormrod claims" 28:Voluntary Human Extinction Movement 24: 371:But what's wrong with spokesman? 207:speaking about the organisation. 497:Didn't think of that, rephrased. 1: 621:03:15, 27 February 2012 (UTC) 603:01:52, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 585:00:46, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 571:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 557:21:35, 24 February 2012 (UTC) 538:21:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC) 517:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 482:01:52, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 456:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 432:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 403:02:17, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 393:spokesman for the movement"? 385:01:52, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 361:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 339:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 320:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 299:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 278:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 254:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 231:04:29, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 217:00:45, 25 February 2012 (UTC) 193:21:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC) 171:15:33, 18 February 2012 (UTC) 444:people, or by having a pet." 656: 468:Alright I'll strike this. 418:implies that he's a member 640:March 2012 peer reviews 18:Knowledge:Peer review 329:Hmm, good question. 244:Good catch, done. 177:Flat Earth Society 142:Watch peer review 87: 86: 647: 619: 617: 601: 599: 536: 534: 480: 478: 383: 381: 191: 189: 139: 130: 111: 79: 72: 65: 47: 33: 655: 654: 650: 649: 648: 646: 645: 644: 630: 629: 615: 608: 597: 590: 532: 525: 476: 469: 379: 372: 187: 180: 145: 120: 97: 91: 83: 51:Manual of Style 43: 31: 22: 21: 20: 12: 11: 5: 653: 651: 643: 642: 632: 631: 628: 627: 626: 625: 624: 623: 573: 559: 522: 521: 520: 519: 500: 499: 498: 489: 488: 487: 486: 485: 484: 461: 460: 459: 458: 436: 435: 434: 410: 409: 408: 407: 406: 405: 366: 365: 364: 363: 343: 342: 341: 324: 323: 322: 303: 302: 301: 282: 281: 280: 258: 257: 256: 237: 236: 235: 234: 233: 152: 147: 146: 144: 90: 85: 84: 82: 81: 74: 67: 59: 56: 55: 54: 53: 48: 38: 37: 30: 25: 23: 15: 14: 13: 10: 9: 6: 4: 3: 2: 652: 641: 638: 637: 635: 622: 618: 613: 612: 606: 605: 604: 600: 595: 594: 588: 587: 586: 582: 578: 574: 572: 568: 564: 560: 558: 554: 550: 546: 542: 541: 540: 539: 535: 530: 529: 518: 514: 510: 506: 505: 504: 501: 496: 495: 494: 491: 490: 483: 479: 474: 473: 467: 466: 465: 464: 463: 462: 457: 453: 449: 446: 442: 441: 440: 437: 433: 429: 425: 421: 420: 419: 417: 412: 411: 404: 400: 396: 392: 388: 387: 386: 382: 377: 376: 370: 369: 368: 367: 362: 358: 354: 350: 347: 346: 344: 340: 336: 332: 328: 327: 325: 321: 317: 313: 309: 308: 307: 304: 300: 296: 292: 288: 287: 286: 283: 279: 275: 271: 267: 264: 263: 262: 259: 255: 251: 247: 243: 242: 241: 238: 232: 228: 224: 220: 219: 218: 214: 210: 206: 205:The Economist 202: 201: 200: 197: 196: 195: 194: 190: 185: 184: 178: 173: 172: 168: 164: 159: 157: 151: 143: 138: 137: 133: 128: 124: 119: 118: 114: 109: 105: 101: 96: 95: 89: 88: 80: 75: 73: 68: 66: 61: 60: 58: 57: 52: 49: 46: 45:Copying check 42: 41: 40: 39: 34: 29: 26: 19: 610: 592: 527: 523: 502: 492: 471: 438: 415: 413: 390: 374: 305: 284: 260: 239: 204: 198: 182: 179:as well? ;) 174: 160: 149: 148: 135: 131: 117:Article talk 116: 112: 93: 27: 577:Mark Arsten 563:Mark Arsten 549:Mark Arsten 509:Mark Arsten 448:Mark Arsten 424:Mark Arsten 395:Mark Arsten 353:Mark Arsten 331:Mark Arsten 312:Mark Arsten 291:Mark Arsten 270:Mark Arsten 246:Mark Arsten 223:Mark Arsten 209:Mark Arsten 163:Mark Arsten 104:visual edit 545:Earth day 634:Category 161:Thanks, 127:history 108:history 94:Article 36:Toolbox 416:claims 156:WP:FAC 136:Watch 16:< 581:talk 567:talk 553:talk 513:talk 452:talk 428:talk 399:talk 357:talk 335:talk 316:talk 295:talk 274:talk 250:talk 227:talk 213:talk 167:talk 123:edit 100:edit 616:Mar 611:Res 598:Mar 593:Res 533:Mar 528:Res 477:Mar 472:Res 391:the 380:Mar 375:Res 188:Mar 183:Res 636:: 583:) 569:) 555:) 515:) 454:) 430:) 401:) 359:) 337:) 318:) 297:) 276:) 252:) 229:) 215:) 169:) 140:• 125:| 106:| 102:| 579:( 565:( 551:( 511:( 450:( 426:( 397:( 355:( 333:( 314:( 293:( 272:( 248:( 225:( 211:( 165:( 132:· 129:) 121:( 113:· 110:) 98:( 78:e 71:t 64:v
