Untitled[edit]

Is the author of this page working on an update to include the events relating to William Arkin's controversial Washington Post column? I noticed the link was put in, but no reference in the article. Also, is there anything more to say about this guy other than what's already in this stub, or should it just be deleted? :::Wiki Reviewer :::

It looks like some information was put in...perhaps a more detailed description could be added in the future. I have been researching this guy some and have found out that there really isn't that much to mention. Though I was intrigued to find out that after working for Greenpeace and continuing to denounce all things related to "Global Warming", William Arkin has no problem driving a big SUV.

Edits 2011-09-26[edit]

I removed some unsourced statements that had stood tagged for TWO YEARS. Don't do that "tagging" crap. If you see some unsourced crap in a BLP, remove it NOW, don't tag it. That's what you're suppose to do.

I've also removed an unnecessary section heading "Controversy". This isn't a good idea. He's a controversial guy, so the term "biography" is just fine. --TS 00:08, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
