Sounds good to me, removing the spam tag is definitely appropriate if there's no spam as well as removing non-working links. Keep in mind though that these were all just copied from the [[Hubbert peak theory]] article so I'd check there as well. <font color="green">[[User:Publicus|'''Publicus''']]</font> 14:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

"Because of world population growth, oil production per capita peaked in 1979 (with a plateau 1973-1979).[2]"

Later...

"Matthew Simmons, Chairman of Simmons & Company International, said on October 26, 2006 that global oil production may have peaked in December 2005, though he cautions that further monitoring of production is required to determine if a peak has actually occurred.[28]"

???This article has not yet received a rating on the project's importance scale.
The Anome has removed all past history of this article. This is extremely impolite.
I do not care somebody changing the article, but I hate to loose the history.
To The Anome: if you want to redirect to Hubbert Peak, do it, but restore the history first. Otherwise, I will keep on editting this page, and maybe Hubbert Peak too.

(I moved the above comment from the article's page to this talk page. It was written by Gonvaled. Quadell (talk) 12:52, Jul 29, 2004 (UTC))

Spam?

The last two articles called: 'Articles' and 'Reports, essays and lectures', have spam tags, but I checked them out and non contained any spam. However in the block external links under 'Reports, essays and lectures' are some links that are linking to either slow sites or sites that are not working.

Is it appropriate to remove the not working ones and the spam tags?

Kind regards, "MisteryX 08:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

questionable sources

many sorces here are special interest groups if not personal webpages....the article is a little imbalanced in my opinion. Macutty 19:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias. If you feel that certain facts are missing to "balance" the article, by all means, please contribute other facts that show another viewpoint. I will help clean up the references themselves. Many of the references are improperly cited. Next, we can find better references for the material cited. The goal would be to find more primary sources - one with direct personal knowledge of the events being described.Kgrr 14:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup for GA status

I would like to improve this article so that it can achieve GA status. I have put a Todo list at the top of this article to show where you can help. Feel free to add what you think needs to be done to improve this article.Kgrr 16:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
