Speed Walker

I believe Bill was Speed Walker at the Everett Aquasox baseball games in the late 1990s. 50.35.140.155 (talk) 04:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is he a jerk?

I saw a video on SunnyV2's channel on YouTube and some sources say he's a douche? Can someone check and if needed add a controversies subheading? (the timestamp for the video is 10:40 btw) Irindu10 (talk) 15:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 October 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Bill Nye. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Hi, I would like to suggest an addition to the Science Advocacy section of the Bill Nye article, to be added at the bottom of the section, to read:

In September 2024, Nye became a co-chair of the "Too Hot Not to Vote" voter engagement campaign, an initiative of the climate advocacy organisation Climate Power. According to a Climate Power press release, the campaign seeks to "engage, educate, and motivate climate voters to vote for climate and clean energy champions, including Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, in the 2024 elections."
