Talk:Climatic Research Unit email controversy/outline
Appearance
- This space exists to develop a potential outline for the article. Please feel free to add and modify this as you see fit, but leave a note at the bottom about any changes you made
- Discussion of this outline should take place at Talk:Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident
I. Lead Summary of the major points of the article
[edit]II. Background
[edit]- Why the CRU is significant here
- Mention of/links to the hockey stick issue, and the FOIA issue (if we can find reliable sources for all of that)
- Context with Copenhagen
- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident
III. Timeline
[edit]- Theft of the docs
- Posting to RC, links from Russian server, reposting and mirroring, anything else relevant
- It might also make sense to include mention of the sequence of events that followed the release, which are expanded in subsequent sections, including the firestorm, and responsed, the police investigations, and the internal investigations. Not in too much detail, but just to complete the idea of a timeline.
- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident
IV. Reaction to the release
[edit]- Accusations and death threats. (As Drolz pointed out, this may not be the best juxtaposition, but I'm leaving it here for the moment because I think the death threats are notable enough that they should be covered, and we need to mention them somewhere).
- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident
V. Analysis of the emails
[edit]- What the critics say they mean, what the authors, etc., say they mean.
- There has been some good analysis, like the CSM analysis of the divergence problem. On the other hand, secondary analyses like that one and the Russian study might merit their own section
- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident
VI. Reaction of the scientific community
[edit]- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident
VII. Investigation into CRU and others
[edit]- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident
VIII. Investigation of the hacking and the death threats.
[edit]- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident.
IX. Media Reactions.
[edit]- Comments and reactions that are relevant to this portion of the incident.
Notes
[edit]- Hatnote added, sentences converted to bullet points, a few comments added. It struck me that there isn't a place to include the responsed from governments, the UN, the IPCC, etc. Guettarda (talk) 15:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
