Review request

edit

Hello Beagel - I put the sandbox article into mainspace (Shale oil). Would you mind giving it a brief review? Best, Novickas (talk) 12:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks much! For a hook...that shale oil was the first mineral oil used by humans? From [1] ? Novickas (talk) 17:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the patent would be better, since the Moody ref describes some ancient uses of crude. How about "...that in 1694 the British Crown granted Patent No. 330 for a method of extracting shale oil from "a sort of stone"? Novickas (talk) 13:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thks again - you seem to have your hands full with the gas crisis. Best, Novickas (talk) 15:20, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, you're being modest. A calm voice on the talk page is invaluable :) It's too bad about the extraction FA; sorry I couldn't help more, but I just don't have the tech background. Also the FA process demands so much within a short timeframe. It will succeed eventually, tho. Later, Novickas (talk) 16:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

East Coast Basin/Trans-Orient Petroleum/oil shale

edit

Hi Beagel, regarding your note about this article, you are correct that the East Coast Basin should be covered in Wikipedia. Trans-Oriental Petroleum is not a company I've heard of in NZ, so may not pass the notability test as an NZ article. It appears it is a Canadian company, so perhaps should be entered on that basis. The whole oil & gas side of NZ energy needs work (not just East Coast Basin), energy focus has been mostly on electricity generation. I'll have a look if I get some time. --Pakaraki (talk) 18:18, 11 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

New Europe Transmission System

edit

Hi Beagel,can you retype the title of this article? It isn't New Europe Transmission System, but New European Transmission System. Thanks Erika.sn (talk) 12:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi Beagel, thank you for your effort. Finaly it is possible to rename this page or no? I have to know it as soon as possible. Because the correct name of this article is very important for my company MOL. Thanks Erika.sn (talk) 20:22, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply


Hi Beagel, I work in Slovnaft - member of Mol group, so we have very close relation with MOL. My company is situated in Slovakia. Our situation with gas is a bit different as in Hungary... Erika.sn (talk) 08:49, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, John. THank you very much for this link. The situation with gas crisis is critical and S.A is having problems with Eskom , however, I personally don't believe that anybody will restart any closed reactor.

Single-item categories

edit

Hi, I am trying to reduce the overcategorization of company categories of developing countries. Do you mind if I revert the single-item categorization of VietNam Electricity in Category:Power companies of Vietnam? --Mr Accountable (talk) 04:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think I need to bring the single-item power company categories to a deletion discussion, it is impossible to navigate these categories. Why do these power companies need to have their own category? --Mr Accountable (talk) 04:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Well, how about if these power companies are categorized in the power company categories, for the multidimensional functionality, and also categorized in the parent category, for ease of use? Does that sound ok? --Mr Accountable (talk) 04:53, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
I have to tag these categories with popcat, which is an underpopulated categories tag. I don't think I am going to bring them to a deletion discussion. Hoewever, they are impossible to use. --Mr Accountable (talk) 04:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

WP Energy assessments

edit

Hi Beagel, I've been doing some assessments, and am working on the basis that the "Top" importance rating is not for individual projects or even articles on particular countries -- they should be given a lower importance rating. Is this your thinking too? Johnfos (talk) 23:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, John. I knew that different WP projects use different approaches. In general I agree with your approach. However, so far I myself have worked on the basis that the most important individual companies (3-4 max per subsector) and project may be rated as the "Top" importance articles. Same applies to the individual country's articles, e.g. articles about the energy policy of U.S. or Saudi Arabia, and biographies. I think that biographies of Edison or Watt are worth to be assessed as the "Top" importane (for some reason, they don't have WP:Energy ratings so far). Right now we have following "individual" articles assessed as the "Top" importance articles:
I think we should have broader discussions, if we will have some limited exceptions in these subcategories or not. Another issue is that probably only the main article of the group of articles could be assessed as the "Top" importance articles. E.g., we have the natural gas article assessed as "top" importance, so the liquefied natural gas article should be downgraded from "Top" to "High" importance. Same principle applies also to Renewable energy, and Renewable energy commercialization and Renewable fuels articles. In general, we should go through and, if necessary, re-assess all articles in the "Top" and "High" importance categories.
I don't knew any other editor actively involved in the assessment of WP:Energy articles. However, I propose to move this discussion to some more appropriate place and invite other energy-related editors to express their opinion to generate more discussion. The rigth place seems to be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Energy/Assessment, however, I don't think that anybody will find this discussion there, so maybe Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Energy? I hope that at the end of the day, we will have some sort of guidelines about importance ratings as we have about class ratings.Beagel (talk) 08:50, 7 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi B, and thanks for that. I see WP:Environment has dealt with the situation by doing away with importance ratings altogether. That would certainly be an expedient solution... Johnfos (talk) 10:00, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it could be definitely one possible solution. At the same time, I personally prefer to have also importance ratings. And from the very practical point of view, importance ratings (particularly "Top" and "High" levels) are an additional tool to get an article selected for CD/DVD selections (e.g. see the energy articles selection). So, I propose to follow the principle that "Top" importance rating is not for individual companies, persons, or project. This is not meaning removing current ratings (see the list above), but of course, if necessary, we should review these ratings. At the same time, lets try to work out some guidelines for importance ratings. I also think that maybe we should have criteria that "Top" and "High" ratings should be confirmed by two WP Energy members. What do you think? Beagel (talk) 10:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
I generally agree with what you say, but think that some energy companies deserve to have a top rating. These include: ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Chevron Corporation, Vestas, General Electric. Other organizations which should probably have a top rating include: International Energy Agency, OPEC. Johnfos (talk) 19:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
I am fully agree that these companies and organizations (I would like to add also Areva, Gazprom and ITER to this list) should be rated as the "Top" importance articles. Beagel (talk) 20:44, 10 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Sounds fine. Feel free to make changes to the top category, along the lines of what we have discussed. Johnfos (talk) 19:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

INOGATE/Baku Initiative

edit

Dear Beagel, I would appreciate your reasoning if you were correct: however the INOGATE article is about the INOGATE programme as a whole, not about its technical secretariat. In fact the Baku agreement is simply a consequence of the INOGATE programme (that is, of EU/NIS energy policy), regardless of the Secretariat. Nonetheless, I have left your reinstatement, correcting it where it was in error and Englishing it. Best regards, --Smerus (talk) 19:57, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

This article at the DG TREN website gives better understanding what is the Baku Initiative and how it is related to the INOGATE. Although related, they are not the same thing. Regards.Beagel (talk) 20:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Humm....not an entirely accurate article. DG TREN were not the main movers of the Baku Initiative; the Ministerial Conference at Baku was initiated through INOGATE (i.e. through the various projects supported by EuropeAid), as was the Astana Declaration. However I appreciate that this is a point that is of more interest to EU infighting than to the WP reader. Just to make it clear: the INOGATE programme,(of whch the INOGATE secretariat is only a small part), carries out a number of interventions in the INOGATE countries, in policy areas agreed at the Baku initiative and ratified at Astana, in the form of development aid projects, on behalf of the Commission, in accordance with the EU's energy policy.

Re:Merging the Wellman-Lord process into the Flue gas desulfurization article

edit

Beagel, you may do whatever you wish regarding the subject merger proposal. However, you should be aware that the Wellman-Lord process is essentially obsolete. I am not even sure that the Wellman-Lord patent holder or their licensors are still in business. I doubt that any Wellman-lord plants have been built in the last 10 to 15 years. For that reason, I would question why you want to merger it into Flue gas desulfurization.

Don't let Googling and getting a large number of hits mislead you. Most of those hits were written decades ago.

For any further discussion, you can email me directly using my Wikipedia email. I rarely vist Wikipedia since I became completely disillusioned with Wikipedia and transferred my energies into the online Citizendium encyclopedia. At Citizendium for over a year now, and have not encountered even one incident of vandalism nor had anything but pleasant collegial collaboration from other participants. mbeychok (talk) 21:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Removed merge tags from Nuclear power in the European Union

edit

hi Beagle. You removed the merge tags from Nuclear power in the European Union recently. However, now the problem remains that there is a lot of similar info on several different places, and for the interested reader or editor it is not intermediately clear that there are actually 3 copies of info, for example:

Same goes for Sweden, UK, Poland, Lithuania... well, a lot.

So what do you propose now, if you think there shouldn't be merges? -- eiland (talk) 12:41, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I absolutely agree that information concerning nuclear energy by country should be re-arranged. I described my views during the merer discussion. However, I removed tags for two technical reasons:
  1. Currently the is no consensus about the merger;
  2. The last edit to the discussion was done 6 month before removng tgas, so it was very unlikely any consensus would be found.
So, if you think it is possible to find any kind of consensus, be bold to reopen the discussion and also to make a erger if consensus is found. Beagel (talk) 16:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
The discussion was actually kind of concluded - at least, thats how i see it - the page shouldn't be deleted, just the country paragraphs. These are clearly (not on purpose) content-forks, and have to be dealt with. The fact that the discussion was about merging the whole page made everything a bit unclear. But now the tags are gone, no editor will be challenged to merge the country paragraphs to their proper place. I did merge some §'s over time, but I dont have time or expertise to do all of them. So thats why i think it would be useful to add the tags, and maybe just mention in the old discussion that people are invited to proceed in that way. There's nothing to discuss, the community just has to do it. -- eiland (talk) 13:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the notice and invitation to comment. The wikilink to the talk page actually goes to the project page, so I created a section with a link to the relevant talk page. Feel free to revert, but I thought it might be helpful since I assume you're posting this notice to other project members' talk pages and it seems like there might be a little confusion.

Rather than creating a new section for the purpose of reiteraing Mishlai's first statement, thought I'd just tag this on the end. Thanks for the notice. I support the proposal and such, and there's nothing I particularly feel so strongly about that I will comment on the talk page, so I'll leave things entirely in your capable hands. I did notice however that you removed Food waste in the United Kingdom's WP:Energy template from the project without leaving an explanation. I orginally added that template, thinking that the article did cover energy (the section on Disposal through anaerobic digestion etc.), but was I mistaken to have done so? Do you think the article has the potential to become part of the project again? Only I am planning to submit it for FAC and would love to see it join the ranks of WP:Energy's top articles. Thanks in advance. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 14:35, 16 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your comment. As the tagging by the bot was stopped to achieve more input about the categories, I appreciate if you would add your comment also to the WP:Energy talk page. As of Food waste in the United Kingdom, it seems for me a borderline issue. I removed this tag as I it seemed to me that the energy is only a side topic.

Oil shale extraction

Are you working on this right now ? H Padleckas (talk) 07:39, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Apparently, you were. Good night. H Padleckas (talk) 08:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi Beagel, Ponas Padleckas. Yes, I'd like to work on it; may not have much time in the next few weeks. I think I can make a process water stub. An engineering FA might still be new ground. Do you think a simple schematic diagram or two would be useful? Novickas (talk) 13:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi to both of you.  :-) There are some process diagrams in Oil shale extraction article already, but they are bigger detailed pictures shrunken down to the point where is is very hard to read/see the details in there. Some WP:editors seem to be of the opinion that all pictures should be limited size thumbs placed on the side of a page, usually the right side, with article text on the other side. In many cases this is good, but I do not necessarily agree so in every case, especially with detailed diagrams like the ones in this article. A problem is that the page width and text width and therefore placement of the pictures varies with individual reader's computers and settings, and making the pictures too large can squash the text onto one side of the page in an unseemly way for readers whose text display is not very wide. Making the image wider for these readers may squash the text for readers with somewhat wider text displays on their computers. Centering the image thumb or frame would solve this problem, but would leave empty margins on the left and right sides of the image for readers with very wide text displays. I think this option is the least of the evils of image sizing for these pictures. So what if there is a little empty space in the article for some readers? Surely that has to be preferable to making the images too small for anybody to read directly in the article. I have found that an image width of 540px with center placement works well for this kind of purpose or, if the natural or optimal width of the image is slightly smaller, use that natural width of the image with a center placement. If the image is far smaller, then right or left placement with text on the opposite side may be considered more desirable. H Padleckas (talk) 20:37, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi. There is a continuous problem with images for reasons you just mentioned. Using "thumb" feature was proposed during the Oil shale article FAC. However, Wikipedia:MOS#Images gives some room for interpretation. Beagel (talk) 07:24, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. The diagram would be a good idea; however, I am not sure what exactly it should be as different technologies vary significantly. There are some schemes from the DoE website. It is possible to find schemes also for other technologies, but there are copyright problems. I thought also about the infobox, but again, there is no suitable infobox available. Beagel (talk) 14:10, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Just throwing out an idea here. It seemed during the review that readers felt they were being rushed into the complexities. Maybe if it started with a kind of history section, it would be easier to follow - reflecting its evolution from simple chimney-type things [3] to the complex modern ones. Those early simple versions might not be too hard to illustrate? Novickas (talk) 14:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Seems good idea. The only problem is that the article is already too long. Adding this historical evolution should be done in parallel with updating the History of the oil shale industry article. Beagel (talk) 14:55, 23 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Stubs and categories

edit

Beagel,

A bit of friendly criticism of your editing if I may? You quite rightly removed the stub templates from Famo after I'd expanded it, but you left it uncatagorised. I see that you also tag articles without categories, so you think it's important that articles are categorised. By removing the stubs you've left this article uncat'ed, but I've now put them in. In future could you spend two minutes adding the relevant categories where you remove stubs that give categories please? Bigger digger (talk) 12:10, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

My bad, I did not mention that categories are missing and, of course, every article should be categorized. However, stub tags are not suitable for categorization and stubs categories are not suitable to substitute proper categories. Any article should be tagged with stub tags only in case if the article is a stub and not for categorization. Famo was definitely not a stub. For more information, please see WP:Stub. Beagel (talk) 12:26, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I agree it wasn't a stub, it's just your edit made more work for me and I needed to moan! Bigger digger (talk) 12:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Beagel! I assessed Hydroelectric Power Plants in Croatia as Low-importance (WikiProject Croatia) on the importance scale, because they are all small compared to others in the world. But, I assessed Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant as High-importance on the importance scale, because:

Renewable energy categories

edit

At the top level, I still see a confusing layout. We have Category:Renewable electricity and others like Category:Bioenergy and Category:Energy from oceans and water, both of which generally produce electricity but are not under Category:Renewable electricity. We also have Category:Hydropower and Category:Hydroelectricity not sure why we need both. Maybe my problem is that we need to split this out into forms of generation and products produced. So geothermal, can be used to produce steam or hot water and the steam can be used to produce electricity. Solar thermal systems, I think that is the right name, can be used to heat a material that in turn can be used to heat water for form steam which can generate electricity or it can be stored to generate steam when the sun is no shining. Hope this helps. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also, how does Crystal Mill fit into the structure? Is was a water powered air compressor. So it used a renewable source, water, but it did not generate electricity. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please see WP:NAME. The names you are proposing are not the most easily recognized names. As of the cleanup tag, it does not mean that the article would be deleted. It just indicates that the article needs some maintenance work and could be placed also in cases the article is under construction.

Categorization of Russian companies

edit

I have a little problem with the categorization of Russian companies. I see you created the category Category:Engineering companies of Russia, so maybe you can help.

  1. Is "mechanical engineering" the correct term for the industry sector "machine building"? i.e. is "machine building sector" = "mechanical engineering sector"?
  2. What kind of companies should be put in Category:Engineering companies of Russia? (I don't understand what this category means)
  3. What does "manufacturing company" actually mean? (if you know?) Is a machine building/mechanical engineering company also a manufacturing company?
  4. Should I create a new category Category:Mechanical engineering companies of Russia (where I would put machine building companies in)?

If you don't know the answers, can you direct me to some info which would help? Thanks. Offliner (talk) 19:22, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I didn't notice your question. The current categorization is not perfect and I don't think there is single answer to your questions. However, I try answer how I understand these issues:
  1. "Mechanical engineering" covers also "machine building". The mechanical engineering article says that "mechanical engineers use the core principles as well as other knowledge in the field to design and analyze manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems, motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devices and more." At the same time, there is also category:Machine manufacturers.
  2. I created the Category:Mechanical engineering companies of Russia for such companies as Atomstroyexport, Stroytransgaz and Hydroproject, that means companies who design and build energy projects. Ssimilar companies from other sectors should be included also.
  3. Manufacturing company is a company producing finished goods industrially on a large scale. By my understanding, a machine building company is also a manufacturing company.
  4. There is nothing wrong with creating Category:Mechanical engineering companies of Russia. Alternatively, it could be named category:Machine manufacturers of Russia or category:Machine building companies of Russia.

First of all, if you look at the page history, you see that I reverted your edit only once, not twice. however, I will explain why I reverted your additions (short version is given also in the edit summary). The text you added is not backed by third party reliable sources (please see WP:V and WP:RS) and reads like blatant advertising (please see WP:ADVERT).

The first stage… …The initialt capacity of BPS-2 will be 30 million tons of oil annually. Two will be constructed Oil-pumping station is #3 and # 7, is reconstructed Oil-pumping station is #1 Unecha, and # 5 Andreapol, constructed Pipe-end oil-pumping station "Ust-luga".

The second stage… …The initialt capacity of BPS-2 will be upgraded with 30 to 50 million tons of oil annually. The branch to Kirishi will be in addition constructed, the capacity of it will be 12 million tons of oil annually, the branch to Ust-Luga will be upgraded with 30 to 38 million tons of oil annually. Four will be constructed Oil-pumping station is # 2, # 4, # 6 and # 8, is reconstructed Oil-pumping station is #7 with tank battery in volume of 80 thousand cubic metre

The initial capacity of the pipeline will be at the first stage 30 million tons of oil per year, which later will be upgraded to 50 million tons.

The pipeline will have eigth pumping stations. On the first stage two new pumping stations would be built two pumping stations (in Unecha and Andreapol) would be renovated. On the second stage four new pumping stations will be added and the pumping station №7 will be equipped with with a tank farm with a capacity of 80 thousand cubic meters. In addition, the oil terminal in Ust-Luga will be built.

Refusal of numbers of stations and capacity on separate sites has led to an information illegibility. And it besides now separately from stages

Northern Lights (pipeline)

edit

I've recently created Northern Lights (pipeline). It is obviously a very important pipeline, but it's really hard to find information about it. I couldn't find anything else than what is in the article. Do you know anything more about this pipeline? It appears that according to some sources "Northern Lights" means just the pipeline from Torzhok to Europe (like my source says), but according to others it starts from Western Siberia (like the map seems to indicate.)

I think that the work by Yafimava talks about the Belarus section of the pipeline and not about the whole pipeline. Most of this pipeline is laid in Russia and includes several parallel pipes and branch lines. It was originally planned to run from Yamal, however, it was later decided to be run from Urengoy. At the first stage it supplied the Central and Northwestern Russia and later was expanded to supply also Belarus, Baltic States and Finland. I will try to find more sources, but probably I am not able to do this on coming days. Beagel (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

South Stream

edit

Hi Beagel,

I see you moved my recent edit about Russia and Slovenia signing an agreement from Route to History section. While I do agree with the move, do you think it would be best to add a line or two in the Route section too, just to mention that the route might/will involve Slovenia? --Tuscumbia —Preceding undated comment added 18:45, 11 November 2009 (UTC).Reply

Right now the text says: From Subotica, one branch continues through Hungary to Austria ending at the Baumgarten gas hub.[26][27] Another branch will run through Hungary and Slovenia to Arnoldstein in Austria near the Italian border to supply northern Italy. So, by my understanding it is clear that the project involves also Slovenia. Unfortunately, I have not find more precise information about the possible route in Slovenia. Any suggestion? Beagel (talk) 19:10, 11 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I guess let's see and wait until the agreement is signed and exact or near exact routes in Slovenian and Italian sectors are uncovered. Thanks Tuscumbia (talk)19:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
