Thanks for your great contribution to the article. I will review this tomorrow. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 20:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Lede[edit]
- It was first published in Danish in 1998 by who? Done
- In the infobox, link the English language! Done
- The publication date states "2001". Add the Danish date as well as the English pub date. They matter! Done
- Others in the lede seems fine. Link Denmark in The veracity of Lomborg's assertions were criticised by the scientific community and environmental groups in Denmark and internationally Done
- The "Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty" should go with an abbrev. "UVVU" in bracket next it. Done
- Thanks @SafariScribe:! All done. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Background[edit]
- No need for According to Lomborg to go in a new paragraph Done
- According to Lomborg, he was inspired by an article in Wired where Julian Lincoln Simon was interviewed it's unclear here. Since it's background, don't worry about the "according to". Remove it. Done
- in which Simon claimed that calculations he had conducted with publicly available data led him to conclude that standard doomsday conceptions of the state of the world were incorrect. Was he inspired by the interview of Simon or the article in question? Done
- In 1997, Lomborg decided to undertake a similar assessment with some of his students, and came to similar conclusions as Simon.—its a long sentence. Simply, reword to "Lomborg undertook the similar assessment with some of his students. After the test (or whatever), they came out with the same results as Simon's test." Done
- Based on this, in 1998 four articles were published in Danish newspaper Politiken outlining his views and findings, which attracted controversy in Danish media. Reword to "Following the assessment, the assessment was taken by the media in 1998. It was published by the Danish newspaper Politiken. Since then, it has spurred controversy online." (We don't know whether it's only the Danish media; what if an international newspaper picked it?. So leave it per my reword if you wish! Done
- This was later expanded into a book, with the Danish edition Verdens Sande Tilstand (The True State of the World) published on 22 September 1998 Like I said in the lede, who is the publisher? Find it and cite. I will also look out for you! Done
- Begin above with "Those views and findings was turned into a book initially published in Danish title as ..." Done
- A near-direct English translation was published in 2001 as The Skeptical Environmentalist, with the section on global warming expanded and more notes and references than the Danish version. It was published in English by Cambridge University Press. You don't necessarily cut articles in certain way. I would say "The English version was published literally as "The Skeptical Environmentalist" in 2001 by Cambridge University Press." Done
- Follow up with the other "The section covering global warming was expanded plus notes and references—more than the previous version". Done
- Done. @SafariScribe:. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Arcahaeoindris, please mark {{done}} to any review you've completed. It'll help me not to check back. Thanks! — Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 12:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done. @SafariScribe:. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:53, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Contents[edit]
- Add at least one source to the "Content" sections. Of no source is found, shorten, merge or remove entirely Done. Went with shortening rather than cutting. There are a few citations in the section.
- The "Later assessment" section has no source to the nature article. Add one or cinder removing Done
Source checking[edit]
The source layout is looking fine. Kudos! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 16:44, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
