Restore 3 awards in the Infobox

On 31 December 2022, Edwardx deleted 8 of 11 Awards from the Infobox, deprecating them as "few of the many awards are really notable". I propose to restore 3, for a total of 6, adding back 3 awards whose recipients are quite distinguished:

1) The 2019 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, a $200,000 prize which as Wikipedia page says, is "regarded as the "Nobel for environment". I attended this awards ceremnony.

2) The American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS) 2018 Public Engagement with Science Award, list of recipients. AAAS has 120,000 members, spread around the world, and as Wikipedia says "the world's largest general scientific society." It publishes the journal Science, which as Wikipedia says, is "one of the world's top academic journals." I'm an AAAS member and have attended several of the big yearly meetings.

3) The American Geophysical Union(AGU) 2018 Climate Communications Prize, list of recipients AGU is the leading geosciences society. I'm a member of AGU, have attended half a dozen of the big Fall meetings, including one of the awards ceremonies. This award only started in 2011, as AGU finally realized that communication about climate change to the public was very important.

All these awards are notable, especially because it is relatively rare to get awards for BOTH contributions to science (the 3 now in Infobox plus 1) AND for communications to public, 2) and 3) here. Edwardx's deletion erased the communications awards. JohnMashey (talk) 00:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, and thanks for resolving this. . . dave souza, talk 08:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hockey stick graph

@William M. Connolley: In your revert of my recent edit,[1] you said that there's no point in having "a modern version of"; the original would make sense. I think we should have some image. We can't have the original from 1999, for copyright reasons, and Hockey stick graph uses an updated version from 2013, which is outdated by now. I see no reason to prefer that one over a version that's less than half as old, considering it has essentially been superseded by new research. The 2020 chart is the latest version of the hockey stick graph we can get. Your input on this would be welcome. Renerpho (talk) 09:27, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because this is the page about Mann; not about the most recent version of the temperature reconstruction William M. Connolley (talk) 13:25, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@William M. Connolley: That section of the article is (at least partially) about the chart. Would you agree that having an image of the 2013 version is okay, since we are currently using it to illustrate the main article about Mann's chart? Renerpho (talk) 03:07, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meh. I don't really care that much. But the closer to the original, or Mann's own work, the better William M. Connolley (talk) 09:23, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@William M. Connolley: Okay. For now, I've added the image that's used in Hockey stick graph (global temperature), which is probably the closest to Mann's original chart we can get. Renerpho (talk) 14:58, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
