I'm glad to see that someone poestd this news over at RC on their Are the CRU data “suspect”? An objective assessment. Thread. I'd like to relate my experience there, over the last two days.I poestd a comment yesterday suggesting that their objective assessment wasn't terribly objective . Eric snipped my comment from three paragraphs to one paragraph and dismissed it with a curt read it again, slowly . In other words, the RC crew who claim the Climategate emails are taken out of context is perfectly fine with editing comments to the point where they are out of context so their snappy comebacks makes themselves themselves look good to the alarmist acolytes.I poestd a second comment today, reeinforicing the lack of objectivity in their thread, suggesting that if they were really trying to be objective, they would have selected the most pristine (least needing UHI and TOB and other anthropogenic fiddling) sites from the database, rather than a random selection, and would have used the pristine sites to confirm CRU's results as well as the validity of the concensus anthropogenic corrections they and CRU apply to the raw data. Otherwise their objective analysis has only confirmed Pielke's opinion of CRU and GISS et all as not being independent.I also pointed out that although the means matched in their figures, the variances don't, so why not? That is the kind of question they that a peer reviewer would key on, and unless they can explain why not, it further discredits the objectivity of their analysis. I now note my second comment AND THE FIRST have been deleted.So once again we see their hypocrisy after railing against skeptic web studies that haven't gone through rigourous peer review , they do the same things themselves and post an objective study on RC for the alarmist acolytes to propagate without peer review then suppress critical comments that point out faults known in some scientific circles as peer review .So, all in all, my objective opinion of their use of objective is summarized in the quote from the Red Queen Words mean what I say they mean

There are many templates in use in WikiHashtags; these are only a subset, representing some of the most important and commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

  • Category:Templates should cover all templates in the wiki, categorized into the various subcategories.
  • The Template namespace (found from Special:Allpages) always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are templates?[]

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. {{stub}}). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on:

  1. a subpage using {{documentation}}; or
  2. the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
  3. the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.

Article management templates[]

Nominate an article for deletion[]

{{delete}}

{{speedydelete|<reason>}}

Disambiguation articles[]

{{disambig}}

  • If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets afterwards. For example:
The Prince <-- disambiguation page, with links to:
The Prince (frog)
The Prince (human)

Stubs[]

{{stub}}

  • When a page has little or no useful information, then it is likely a stub. This template will include them in Category:Article stubs, and is used to list which articles need expanding.
  • For more information, see Help:Stubs.

Category templates[]

General category template[]

{{category}}

  • This can be added to categories to add general categorising details. Use in cases where it may be useful to point out to users how to categorise, such as popular categories.

Template category template[]

{{templatecategory}}

  • This should be added to any template-related categories, to list template-specific categorising details, which differ from those of normal pages.

General wiki templates[]

Clear[]

{{clr}}, plus {{clrl}} and {{clrr}}

  • This template is used to reduce the amount of non-wikicode used on pages, replacing the code <br style="clear:both;" />. Its use should generally be avoided.
  • You can use {{clr}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so the following stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.
  • You can also use {{clrl}} or {{clrr}} to clear only left or right floats.

For[]

{{for|<name>|<link>}}

  • Use at the top of articles as a simple "for x see y" template.

Main article[]

{{main|<main article>}}

  • Use at the start of a section to link to the main article on it.

Right-aligned Table of Contents[]

{{tocright}}

  • This template floats the table of contents (toc) on the right. It should only be used when absolutely necessary, to keep consistent design.

Sandbox[]

{{sandbox}}

T is for template[]

{{t|<template>}}

  • This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.

Welcome[]

{{welcIP}} and {{welcome}}

  • The first (with longer version "welcomeIP" for those of you who like typing more) is to welcome new non-vandalistic contributors who are "anonymous", identified only by their IP number; it encourages them to register.
  • The second template is for welcoming new registered users. Should be customized for the wiki, indicating the pages we most want newcomers to visit.
  • The above two templates are very suitable for having "subst:" prefixed, because they can be edited with additions or deletions appropriate to the apparent strengths of the person being welcomed; e.g. if the contributor has already demonstrated good wiki editing skills you could delete references to pages about "how to edit".

Wikipedia[]

{{wikipedia}}, {{wikipedia-deleted}}

  • Wikipedia-related templates. Use {{wikipedia}} for articles taken directly from Wikipedia, and {{wikipedia-deleted}} for articles deleted from Wikipedia.

Where you may find more templates[]

  • The Template Wikia
  • Wikipedia; may be copied with the proper acknowledgment, but some need tweaking to work properly on Wikia, so use a Wikia one if possible.
