Talk:Watts Up With That?

I'm not sure this page is appropriate, unless there are notable quotes about WUWT. As noted at some other articles, I do not think it is useful to organize quotes by the venue in which they appeared. I am particularly leery of setting a precedent for doing this with blogs. ~ Ningauble (talk) 13:28, 27 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Wattsupwiththat.com has been described as the most viewed website on climate related topics. It is one of the most visited blogs on WordPress. Some notable quotes about WUWT is a good idea. ThePowerofX (talk) 00:54, 3 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I hadn't seen this page before. It appears to be (essentially) all the work of one editor, ThePowerofX, who appears to be selecting quotes from various guest contributors at the blog, many quite obscure. I'm not sure what the purpose of this page is. None of the participants are wiki-notable except Watts (the proprietor) and Monckton, and the quotes seem to me to be cherry-picked to make the guests look bad. I don't think this is what Wikiquotes is for, as almost none of the quotes presented appear to be notable, and the page appears to violate NPOV. --Tillman (talk) 05:06, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Watts Up With That? is described by author Fred Pearce as the "world's most viewed climate website". Its various editors—Anthony Watts, Christopher Monckton, John Coleman, Paul Driessen, Alan Caruba included—maintain a stance that Global Warming is either not occurring, a possible scam or, if it is occurring, is due to nature (not man). The site is rated annually by WordPress as one of its top 10 visited websites each year. The quotes in our article represent fairly the views of those who expressed them. Christopher Monckton, for example, is well known for alleging GW is a plot by communists to usher in a one-world government. I'm not interested in debating the validity of such claims. They obviously hold strong views and are perfectly entitled to express them. ThePowerofX (talk) 00:03, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

I shall endeavour to add quotes about WUWT soon. Let us review the situation afterward. ThePowerofX (talk) 00:09, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
