Hi,
Why send personal information to a public list? Do you want all your requests denied in the Future?
This is not a smart move if you are still hoping to get a press pass.

Hi Bill,
I just left you a voicemail asking for temporary freelance volunteer accreditation to cover the APCE summit next week at the convention center.
I am a Wikipedia editor with over seven years of experience focusing on sustainable energy and transportation solutions, e.g., as the primary author of http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-neutral_fuel If you accredit me for next week I can promise to get you the latest news on the cost to synthesize gasoline from the carbonic acid in seawater. With nighttime wind, I suspect it can be less than $3/gallon.
I am a five minute walk from your office. Please call me: 650-427-9625

Dear James,
Your press pass has been denied. We reserve press passes for someone who works (or is a freelancer) for a major publication or news media outlet.
Thank you for your interest.
Best regards, Regina

Hi Regina,
I've published over 50 energy news items on Google+ over the past year, but my more widely read contributions to Wikipedia are not credited to my name. Please see my work with Stanford Professor Noah Diffenbaugh, who I am asking to endorse my request for press credentials:
Hangouts On Air with Stanford Professor Noah Diffenbaugh: Climate Change Solutions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vedQYk1tKwg
The associated links are at:
https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13lil4qszeeffff322gi33z5pefehbny
Since I would rather not send you 100 URLs to posts, please just give me a subtopic of energy and climate mitigation you are interested in and I will point you to my work there.
Please reconsider my request.
Best regards, James Salsman Hi James,
I'm sorry, I ran your request by a couple of colleagues, but your request for a press pass was not accepted. The only relevant information we could find with your work was the wiki article you sent us. We are limiting press passes to journalists with a focus (and actively) writing on topics related to the event.
My apologies. Thank you for your interest.
Best regards, Regina

Hi Regina,
Wikipedia and Google+ articles are both published online. Essentially all of my energy journalism work is on Wikipedia and Google+.
For example, Wikipedia's article on renewable energy, where I contributed the "Carbon neutral and negative fuels" section (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy#Carbon-neutral_and_negative_fu... )
gets about 3,000 page views per day, not counting cached and similar copies:
http://stats.grok.se/en/latest30/Renewable_energy
What proportion of your journalists have readerships in the millions per
year?
Best regards, James

Thanks, James.
Do you also have links to articles that have been published recently?
either
online or print articles? We'd like to see those. Thanks
Best regards, Regina

Hi Regina,
I am the primary author of this Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-neutral_fuel
Please note that the Wikipedia entry for "Carbon capture and
utilization"
redirects to that article, and probably will until someone writes more
about
using carbonic acid from seawater as plastics feedstock. I also have
written
extensively on the use of shipping container-sized airborne wind
turbines
e.g.

Please arrange for my press credentials at APCE 2013 next week in
Honolulu.
Please reply to confirm.
