Small correction, experts and salesmen[edit]

I just noticed this description in the page 'Wind energy expert Mike Barnard' and checked the reference which turned out to be a promotional sales page for wind turbines. Since the article is already very short of reviews I left it in but corrected the description to 'Wind energy ~~expert~~ advocate and turbine salesman Mike Barnard'. Experts are supposed to be impartial. Lucien86 (talk) 11:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why have you described him as a "turbine salesman"? Noel darlow (talk) 17:39, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe that's unfair, but his page (the quoted reference) seems to be a guide on buying wind and solar systems... (http://barnardonwind.com/2013/09/12/windfall-a-seriously-flawed-us-documentary-on-wind-energy/) His review of the film is very negative, but he hardly seems to be an impartial source.. It has to be said that the wind industry has a substantial and very powerful lobbying group - and this film is one of the few voices against it.. Lucien86 (talk) 19:02, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed the turbine salesman remark and simply left it as 'Wind energy advocate' - for politeness. Lucien86 (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK he has written books about wind energy and may be a reviewer for technical journals on this subject so "expert" may not be inaccurate. However he does also seem to be pro wind so "advocate" also seems fair. Noel darlow (talk) 20:43, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
