Default Re: HELP!! - Wikipedia Definition of "Arborist"

Here's the link to the discussion page.

Talk:Arborist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And from the very bottom it appears a guy who has an empty profile, not using his real name wants to run the show.

He goes by the name Trees4est

Okay, so Eric Frei recently did a number of edits on the page. I think that perhaps before you perform any further edits you should make sure that anything written be in the tone and style of an encyclopedia (not that the stuff was too off in that department, just a bit). I will say the page doesn't really need a large section of Australian regulation and licensing information, nor does it need regulations for workers here. If there is a good link pointing to regs, it seems that would suffice. If you feel the tone is too US-centric, please feel free to address it here and maybe propose changes before editing (for short edits), or at least don't be surprised if your edits get reverted or edited. Certainly it's a valid concern for many pages being written from one perspective or one country's perspective, and it should not. That's the good thing about many people editing. But it's important to keep these pages pared down and concise, neutral, and accessible to the general public. Every detailed element of being an arborist doesn't necessarily need to be addressed. If I have any time in the near future, I may work on this page as well, if so I will either talk about it here first or check here for feedback afterwards.--Trees4est (talk) 21:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes it needs to be addressed as it varies so much unlike other professions.--Eric Frei (talk) 12:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
You decide, looks like Wiki Wank to me.
