Global Warming Extremism[edit]

Should there be discussion / links to others on this page of people with science education backgrounds who have become anti-global-warming extremists, bucking scientific evidence? Intellectprop (talk) 18:54, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article about Cunningham, about global warming, or about the Heartland Institute[edit]

I couldn't tell what this article was about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.64.115 (talk) 04:48, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The last statement in the article sounds very much like weaselfication, "The article did not mention Cunningham was previously published by The Heartland Institute." I ponder whether the paragraph about the Heartland Institute is appropriate, but part of what is written lends itself to understanding the nature of Cunningham's work. Meanwhile, the snarky concluding sentence is out of here.--cregil (talk) 04:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the link to point to the current entry at Astronautix. My guess is that the reason that the original link went dead (so that you had to use an archive.org link), is that the original page name misspelled Col. Cunningham's surname as "cunngham" instead of "cunningham". The current Astronautix bio is:

Biography[edit]

The article now says "Cunningham married the former Lo Ella Irby". It might well be me lacking knowledge of fine, linguistic details, but ... "former"? Who was she then, when they married? (She probably became a Cunningham instead of Irby, but not before the marriage, I guess.) Fomalhaut76 (talk) 07:55, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most likely, it means she became Lo Ella Cunningham. Whether or not she remained so, after their divorce, is unknown. Here is a press photo of her as Cunningham with the children. Wyliepedia @ 16:05, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CO2 Coalition membership[edit]

IP 80.132.233.173 added a "failed verification" flag on Col. Cunningham's CO2 Coalition membership. I don't know exactly what that flag means, but it's clearly erroneous, because it is easy to verify that Col. Cunningham was a member of the CO2 Coalition. Here's his bio on the CO2 Coalition website:
https://co2coalition.org/teammember/col-walter-cunningham/

Archive.org finds him listed as a Member of the CO2 Coalition at least as far back as May, 2017:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170508020936/http://co2coalition.org/about/#1490733757413-39319754-27d4

So I'm going to delete the erroneous "failed verification" flag. If anyone has any issues with that, please discuss it here. NCdave (talk) 20:30, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@NCdave You don’t know what it means, so you deleted it? Nice work. It means that neither of the two existing sources that you added to support the claim. You point out it was so easy to verify yet you couldn’t be bothered to add the source yourself? Please delete the external link you added and replace it with a proper citation, assuming you know what that means. 80.132.233.173 (talk) 00:56, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
According to the information I've found, "The Failed verification tag is used when an editor tried to verify the information in an article with its sources, but failed to do so." I have verified his membership in the CO2 Coalition, and I've also added an appropriate reference to the article. What else do you want? NCdave (talk) 00:14, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just added the source @NCdave found as a citation. -- M.boli (talk) 11:38, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
