John, thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia.
Sustainability project poll
I don't know if anybody is watching this page, but if you are, could you please assist me with the following: Tom Haws
I have been wanting to have a working Wikipedia:WikiProject Sustainability or Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy development. We currently have a Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy Related Development by Civilizations that is going nowhere. Please answer in poll format (Support or Oppose) the following proposals: Tom Haws
Move Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy Related Development by Civilizations to Wikipedia:WikiProject Sustainability.
- Support. This seems to be the biggest umbrella and the most acceptable term. Tom Haws 22:35, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Support. Seems to define the subject best, to the point. --DanielCD 14:10, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Move Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy Related Development by Civilizations to Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy development.
- Oppose. See above. Tom Haws 22:35, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. doesn't keep global feel of other, seems too specific. --DanielCD 14:10, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Simplify the Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy Related Development by Civilizations page to initially include just Participants, Guestbook, Polls, and List of categories and articles.
- Support. Tom Haws 22:35, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Support. Provided there is enough material here that doesn't go in Wikipedia:WikiProject Sustainability. Oppose if there is more than 80% overlap. --DanielCD 14:10, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Energy development WikiProject
Please add Wikipedia:WikiProject Energy development to your Watchlists and participate in any polls and discussion there. Thanks in advance. We really need some additional input. We are kind of at a standstill on some issues. The Sustainability project is still available for moving, and I agree it is more global and we should work toward it. This is a start.

Merge with Global Green Charter?
The article seems to represent sustainability as purely a party-political green concept. It is not. I am thinking the article should be merged with Global Green Charter or should have Global Green Charter in its title. Laurel Bush 13:04, 11 May 2005 (UTC).
- I've re-read the article with your comments in mind and confess that I don't understand your point. It seems to me that there is a need for a Wikipedia article on Sustainability because it is a term that many readers will be curious about. The Global Green Charter is one attempt to pursue a program to achieve "sustainability" and there is some overlap between the articles. However, Sustainability is the broader concept and should remain a discrete article, IMO. How might we retain the article and still address your concerns about its "party-political green" aspects?

I take it now that the green politics box highjacks a more general article. Laurel Bush 10:09, 12 May 2005 (UTC).
- What do you mean by "highjacks"? Sunray 18:33, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
