Wikipedia:Redirect for Discussion

Just letting you know I am nominating the redirect page Saft for discussion because if anything it should be an article and not redirecting to something unrelated. --Tedd-the-Tiger (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It is a redirect stub article. So, if you can write the article about Saft, you would do it, because Saft is a very important company in the electric vehicle industry (batteries). --Mac (talk) 06:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

UNPA

I am happy to see you have taken an interest in the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly article. My hope is that we can improve it enough to get it to Featured Article status (see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates.) We should try to get permission from Andreas Bummel to include the proposed UNPA flag (the one with parliamentary benches). Captain Zyrain 20:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I am ready to help to improve this article. Where can we contact him ?. (If you want, you can send me an email). I belive IPU would obtain a UN General Assembly subsidiary organ status. Regards.--Mac 20:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Email

Here is the answer:

Hello,

Mr. Bummel forwarded your request to me. You are welcome to use the proposed design of a UNPA logo and flag on Wikipedia. Please credit me with the design.

I understand now, when you have built almost all of the articles for German, French, and Japanese nuclear plants. How happy are electric companies and employes about nuclear power. But, people says nuclear (power and residues) ? no, thanks. --Mac 16:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Can you upload your image of "nuclear-no-thanks" as a low resolution fair use image to the English wikipedia for use in the anti-nuclear movement article? Fair use doesn't exist on the commons.[1] Cheapthrill 19:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Help

See User_talk:SandyGeorgia#UNPA_FAC. We are on the verge of getting article to FA status (just need to fix citations) but I just broke my arm today and typing is rather slow. Do you think you can help? Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Citation needed

Please see User_talk:Nopetro#25.2C000_legislators. If you have any info that may shed light on this, please add it to the article. Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 02:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Compressed air articles

Thanks for your recent edits, those articles are looking a lot less like MDI ads than they used to. I'm trying to push specific MDI details onto the MDI page (although I've got no problem with using its technologies as an example, as you have done), and I'm also thrifting 'external links' on each of that cascade of articles so that there aren't too many for each company. Cheers Greg Locock (talk) 21:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Good. The MDI can be an example for the open source compressed air car movement. They know aprox. what to look for in the open source Market --Mac (talk) 06:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Solar power in the United States

Please rename (move) Solar photovoltaic power in the U.S. to Solar power in the United States. No redirect is necessary. This move has been requested at WP:RM 199.125.109.102 (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Done by Vegaswikian. This is OK. Thank you. --Mac (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

It should have just been done as a page move though. There is no need to leave behind the former name. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I differ from this. Solar photovoltaic power in the U.S. can be a splitted article in the near future. --Mac (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

PHEV energy displacement

On 13:21, 27 May 2008, you added the energy displacement section to the PHEV article. The figure given seems right, but I have been looking for an authoritative source for such a rule of thumb. If you can direct me to the source material that you think it came from, I'd be happy to dig it out and cite it. Thanks Mak (talk) 17:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Added the reference in the article. --Mac (talk) 07:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Archiving

Hi, you should really consider archiving your talk page instead of just deleting whole sections of it. Also, simply labeling such deletions as minor (like here) could be seen as a disingenuous use of the edit summary. NJGW (talk) 12:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Oil price increases since 2003

You are still adding links to redirects when the real article is already linked to (such as you did at Oil price increases since 2003). This is getting disruptive. Please stop. NJGW (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oil shock is another name to oil crisis and this could be added. It would be interesting to know the differences, if any, between oil shocks and oil crisis.
• Soaring is very used in a lot of literature, including the own article, about oil prices increses and specially usefull for non-native English speakers. --Mac (talk) 05:46, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

If you can find a good set of sources which differentiates between Oil shock and Oil crisis, go ahead and write an article. Right now it looks like you don't even know the difference, so you are only cluttering up the "See also" sections. Someone who clicks on both links and finds they lead to the same place will assume that the editors writing the page are amateurish for creating such double re-directs and will revert, same as I did. Also, I don't think that each article in Wikipedia has room for a glossary at the end. Those who need a definition can easily look up what ever word they don't know, rather than us trying to guess all the words they may be unfamiliar with. NJGW (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Really, a crisis is stronger than a shock, but sometime the energy crisis (really, the petroleum crisis) is refered as a shock crisis. So, the entry in the see also section could be :

• Oil crisis (sometimes also called shock petroleum crisis).

On the other hand, I clearly see amateurism in the oil crisis page.

Finally, soaring is included in the context of the article and a link to the meaning of this term is included in the text of the article .--Mac (talk) 08:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

--Mac (talk) 08:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

First point: "a crisis is stronger than a shock", great, but did you see up above where I asked for references that discuss the difference?

Second point: The see also section isn't for making distinctions or providing definitions, it's for helping people find more information on similar topics (and especially not for links that go back to the top of the same page).

Third point: Yes, good where it belongs. Putting links to every word you don't know in the "see also" section is not appropriate. NJGW (talk) 15:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Quick note, thread on the admin noticeboard at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Redirect-philic user. You're not in any trouble at the moment, that I know of, but you're welcome to read and comment if you'd like. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:23, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, tell me more about {{Rhere}}. Where can I find info about it, I tried but failed. As you can see by my edit above, it was my understanding that such redirects were not desired. Keep up the good work. Brusegadi (talk) 08:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

You can find it here. It is similar to a stub or a split of a section. It is project for an article, that can become a great article. I.e. see the biodiesel article that I begun in 2003 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biodiesel&oldid=703349) with only a few words. There must be a beginning (sometimes a modest beginning). Regards. --Mac (talk) 08:29, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

All energy from renewable sources

A tag has been placed on All energy from renewable sources, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 18:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

• I'm not saying it doesn't belong somewhere, just not its own article. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

You haven´t given time to put the hangon, as I have right to. So, revert the deletion. --Mac (talk) 07:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Your redirects

Hi Mac, i have some comments about the redirects you make, as Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages (Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory), this redirect [4] redirecting a product to a manufacturer list ? This one [5] a manufacturer to a process ? see WP:SPAM, if a manufacturer is notable enough it can have its own article, i am sure you are helping with the best intentions, please follow the guidelines. Cheers Mion (talk) 13:01, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

And please stop making redirects, at Wikipedia a redirect is only created when an article pagename is renamed or 2 articles are merged, for alternative expressions of a name there is Wiktionary [6]. Cheers. Mion (talk) 13:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I have not found an article about UMG Si and only information about this product related to a CaliSolar. So, I redirected an article about solar cell manufacturer. But, I have created an article about CaliSolar. Upto the moment appears a more generic article about crystalline silicon and its types, one can use it. On the other hand, Wiktionary is only a definition website and cannot have encyclopedic content. So, I suggest merge polycristalline silicon, monocristalline silicon and UMG Si in the same article.--Mac (talk) 13:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

UMG-Si wafer[7][8] if you are so impressed by UMG-Si write an article about it, and i mean these edits [9],[10],[11],[12],[13], , its a lot of work to put them up for speedy delete, Cheers Mion (talk) 13:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I can use these links to be included in the article (I think it would be called UMG Si - or UMG sillicon better- ). This material has got money from the DoE to research and produce, so it is an interesting possibility for low cost solar power. On the other hand, about the other redirects, they were created (and are valid) because of different reasons (I am going to write more about them tomorow). --Mac (talk) 14:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, till tomorrow, have a look at the actual name of UMG-si Purified metallurgical grade silicon[14],[15]. Mion (talk) 14:29, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
