Hi Geoff,
You want it, go ahead and do it. That is how it works.
Cheers,

PS. What is the point you wish to make by saying you make a monthly
contribution to WMF?

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Carbon footprints on Wikipedia.
An authoritative and easy to used resource giving of the effect or our
everyday activities is essential if voters are to know enough to influence
politics.
I cant find any entries on Wikipedia to match this. To some extent I blame
Wikipedia's over emphasis on peer review and official sources. The [Carbon
footprint] entry is probably counter-productive as it implies that the
quoted sources are more reliable than they are. I fear some of these
sources are incorrect, hide their proprietary information or are
influenced by politics (i.e. government departments).
What I would like to see are lots of entries on Wikipedia like:
[the carbon footprint of beef]
[the carbon footprint of air travel]
[the carbon footprint of a new house]
& etc.
Wikipedia is the right place for such information to be presented.

P.S. I do make a modest monthly contribution to the Wikimedia foundation.
