Solar Powered Desalination UnitSolar powered desalination unit – This is a common noun phrase not a proper name so it should be written in sentence case. Jojalozzo 19:39, 25 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

"produce portable water" edit

Does this system produce portable water (ie. this system is transportable, or it makes bottled water), or does it produce potable water (ie. the water output of this system is drinkable) ? 70.49.127.65 (talk) 20:16, 25 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

May we assume this question is facetious? If so, why not just fix it? Jojalozzo 20:44, 25 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

ROSI edit

The Australian "Reverse Osmosis Solar Installation" should be split off into a different article, since it is a specific instance of the "Solar Powered Desalination Unit" generic topic, and leaves this article unbalanced without counterbalancing examples with large textual sections. 70.49.127.65 (talk) 20:18, 25 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose - I agree that this article is unbalanced but splitting out ROSI will just give us two stubs. I rather see us add content to balance this article. Jojalozzo 13:49, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose per Jojalozzo, I think this article would be better in the long run if left as is. Op47 (talk) 11:40, 16 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
