Canadian Climate Institute[edit]

Especially because you have a direct personal conflict of interest as an employee of the organization, what you would need to do is to use the WP:AFC process so that the article can undergo a detailed review to ensure that it's actually following our requirements. I'd be happy to restore the original article to draftspace for you so that you can work on it, but it can't just be placed back into mainspace as a finished article until it's been reviewed and approved by an AFC reviewer. It'll be at Draft:Canadian Climate Institute shortly, but you'll need to work on it to ensure that it's actually showing all of those better sources, and then you'll need to submit it for review rather than just moving it back into mainspace yourself.

Sounds good and will do, thanks. 2604:3D08:137F:FAB0:51F3:201F:CA:A787 (talk) 18:57, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I'm not clear what section is thought to be taken from that page or under copyright. Is there a way to be more specific? Also, the website referred to is under Creative Commons (see bottom of the page). AndrewJPatrick (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
