FUNDING

If other Journal's, Institute's and Organization's fundings have to be put on their Wiki page i.e. Heartland Institute and any organization that does not subscribe to the "official" opinions, why is it not required here? People feel the need to post who funds the anti-global warming journals, institutes and organizations, or any "controversial" subjects' organization. Yet it is almost completely avoided when it involves any other institutes. Where does the money come from to fund the American Geological Institute? --75.17.215.115 (talk) 18:43, 24 January 2011 (UTC)J. Scott[reply]

Updates and Details

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. [see below]

Full disclosure: I am an employee of the American Geosciences Institute. I am suggesting edits because (1) some of the content is out of date and now factually inaccurate, (2) the article has been flagged as in need of an infobox, and (3) the article is rated as a stub.

AGI is now a federation of 51 associations^[1] representing over 250,000 scientists^[2] (c.f. 45 representing 100,000, as the article currently says). The AGI logo^[3] has now also changed, so the image on the Wikipedia page should be updated.

The infobox for this page could be modeled after that of the American Geophysical Union. Contents could include: Abbreviation: AGI | Motto: Connecting Earth, science and people^[4] | Formation: 1948^[5] | Type: Scientific federation | Legal status: Non-profit^[6] | Purpose: "Serving the geoscience community and addressing the needs of society"^[7] | Headquarters: Alexandria, VA, United States^[8] | Region Served: United States (primary), worldwide (secondary)^[9] | Membership: 51 member societies representing >250,000 geoscientists | Services: Education and outreach; bibliographic and database services; policy information; professional development; workforce analytics and support; geoscience advocacy | Website: www.americangeosciences.org |

We will not provide any original content for the body of the article due to obvious conflict of interest issues. However, if an editor is interested in expanding this article from a stub then a potential outline of the article could include: 1. History^[10] 2. Programs^[11] 3. Publications^[12] 4. Awards^[13] 5. Member Societies (list)^[14]

Not done. The article needs third-party sources for verification; currently there are none. This or a similar request could be re-submitted with citations to such sources. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 10:50, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
