"In cold countries most people like sunshine and prefer not to be in the shade. In hot countries the converse is true and the midday hours people preferably stay inside, because it is too hot to go out."
I dont mean to sound arrogant or anything, but I dont think adding that to the article about Solar radiation was a very relevant contribution. What you wrote was your opinion and it is fine, but an encyclopedia should have non-biased factual information. Again, I hope you dont take it offensively, but I have removed it.
Nice to see kind people on wikipedia contributing to articles, and you seem to have done alot of good work.

- I had my doubts about Patrick's addition at solar radiation too, and at first the only reason I put it back in after the edit conflict was because I know he generally does good work, and wouldn't put something like that in just to be a smart aleck. Then, figuring there must be some reason for what he did, I checked the "What links here" for that page, and sunshine is, sure enough, a redirect to solar radiation, so I would think he'd put that in there for people who followed that redirect to get there. -- John Owens 16:52 Apr 23, 2003 (UTC)
- Adding to that, actually, it seems to me that Patrick's contribution is possibly even more relevant. After all, most of the current content is about the solar fusion that produces the radiation, than the radiation itself. Don't get me wrong, I love knowing more details about the process, but Patrick's bit is at least as relevant to the article title (and especially the redirect) as Jedi Dan's. Now that I see that solar fusion doesn't exist yet, perhaps some of this could be moved there? Or moved into fusion, and make solar fusion a redirect to that? -- John Owens 17:13 Apr 23, 2003 (UTC)
There is already quite about about fusion at Nuclear_fusion and my article was meant to really be an overview about fusion and how it relates to solar radiation rather than anything in depth about the process. I suppose I perhaps put a bit too much irrelevant information in myself, I dont mind if someone wants to reorganise things or move it about.

Moving stuff to Nuclear fusion
(William M. Connolley 20:37, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)) I removed a load of stuff to nuclear fusion which I thought was fair... but I'm willing too be disagreed with.
