[edit] Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to Organisation for Economic Coöperation and Development and back again

Please give your reasons for re-moving Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on its talk page; it is obviously a bone of contention. Also, please be aware that a large number of pages still redirect to the diaeretic spelling, and are now double redirects. They will need to be fixed.

[edit] Railway v. metro station

A metro or light rail tag would work. Metro/Subway could also work, but what above elevated lines like SkyTrain? It starts to just boggle your mind as Metros are usually considered heavy rail.

[edit] Kazakh pages

I saw you made some great edits on Kazakh-related pages. You may be interested in, and hopefully can improve, these pages:

Current members of the Cabinet of President Nursultan Nazarbayev Flag of Kazakhstan
Abdykarimov • D. Akhmetov • S. Akhmetov • Baliyeva • Dernovoi • Dosmukhanbetov • Dzhaksybekov • Iskakov • Izmukhambetov • Karagusova • Korzhova • Masimov • Mukhamedzhanov • Musin • Shabdarbayev • Tazhin • Tusupbekov • Yertysbayev • Yesimov • Zhumabekov

[edit] Atasu-Alashankou pipeline

Hi, I see you are still doing great work on pipelines. While working on Terrorism in Kazakhstan I came across mentions of the Atasu-Alashankou pipeline. Have you ever heard of this pipeline? Would you consider starting an article on it? Regards, KazakhPol 01:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Burgas-Alexandropoulos

Have you heard of the Burgas-Alexandropoulos pipeline or the Odesa-Brody-Gdansk pipeline? They're mentioned in a Radio Free Europe article I came across. I'm trying to incorporate the info into the Kasymzhomart Tokayev page. See the external link here[1]. Is there an alternative spelling for these pipelines? Are there already articles on Wikipedia on them? If not, please consider starting them as I would prefer to avoid dead links on this page. Thanks, KazakhPol 00:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the assistance. KazakhPol 18:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't forget to subst templates!

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thanks! :) Hbackman 22:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zhaksybek Kulekeyev

Please provide your source(s) for the content you recently added to Zhaksybek Kulekeyev. Thanks, KazakhPol 17:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Energy policy of Russia

Hi Beagle - you've made a great start on the Energy policy of Russia! I've added a few links, a couple of minor additions (including the Kyoto Protocol), but you clearly have much more knowledge on the subject that I do... Gralo 12:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Energy: world resources and consumption

Thank you for your kind words about the Energy: world resources and consumption article. I appreciate the invitation to join the energy portal. Over the last year I have made many edits and created lots of articles, this is however definitely the article that I spend most energy :) on. Like you, I think this issue is important. Frank van Mierlo 20:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I just got done reading the EIA report that you suggested. Interesting and somewhat puzzling that their numbers are so different from the US EIA. If you believe the EIA numbers half the installed Hydro electricity plants are not working (807 GW installed and it has only 2% of the TPE supply. Anyway all that is probably in the noise. I will take your suggestion and incorporate this information in the article. I will concentrate on making the energy densities of the different economies in the world visible. Once I have done that, will you support a renewed attempt to make it a featured article??? Frank van Mierlo 04:38, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OECD Anti-Bribery Convention

Thanks for the note about the poorly timed reversion at OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. Looking at the logs, I think I had the spam edit on my screen, then stepped away for a while, and then did the revert. Usually it will give me an "edit conflict" message, but it looks like it simply overwrote your reversion and subsequent changes. I apologize stepping on your excellent work on that article, and will exercise more caution in the future! Kuru talk 00:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:EPlogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:EPlogo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Energy Superpower additions

I have to say I appreciate you adding Kazakhstan, Iran, and Iraq as well as cleaning up other parts of the energy superpower article. However, I do have one request should you make such additions on my article (I am after all the one who started it), and that request is that could you please add more details to those countries you added to the potential energy superpowers list? Just a few sentences would be fine, as you'll note that once someone starts a country section on the page, it usually is spartan (although not blank), and sources and refinements are added as we go along. I don't have all the time in the world to look after the article being an International Relations major, so it'd be much appreciated. I'll see what I can do to spruce up things before you go back to edit. Regards, Drakeguy 03:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russian oil export

Hi, I invite you to take part in creating an article about the Russian oil export, as you seem interested in such topics. Now I am collecting data, but surprisingy they are not widely available, so if you have something to add, you are very welcome. Colchicum 14:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New energy power pages

I saw you too were curious about the block that occurred on the energy superpower page. Needless to say, Perceval and I do not see eye to eye on the merits of what is being presented. I have however in the meantime compromised in the hopes of salvaging the situation and getting some of your edits (as well as mine & others) presented on other pages. I just created the Great Energy Power page, and I need a prodigious editor on energy, such as yourself, to help me out here. We have a great deal of meaningful information on the energy superpower page that is currently being put in stasis, and I was hoping you would help me see to it that some of it would make the jump over to the new page (with re-wording & additional sources added where absolutely needed) in order to kick-start this new page up to a higher standard. Also, if possible, see if you can get a start on or request a "regional energy power" or "energy power" page as well. Thanks for your continuing contributions, Drakeguy 03:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

We'll just have to be careful that we add the right countries to each category then. I really appreciated the additional edits though. Drakeguy 21:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coal-fired power stations by country

I wanted to let you know that some categories that you created (Category:Coal-fired power stations by country) is being discussed at Categories for Discussion. ~ BigrTex 21:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Power stations

I noticed your comments on CfD. You seem to be involved in this area and maybe you can finish some cleanup that I was not able to do since this is not my area of expertise. I was able to find the power source for most plants directly listed in Category:Power stations in the United_States. However the remaining ones present a challenge due to the fuel they use. Can you move those that remain to a better category or maybe create one for these other fuel sources? Thanks. Vegaswikian 20:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Energy portal & future selected articles

Hi! Over the past couple of months I've been spending much more time than I should developing the Energy portal, and intend asking for a portal peer review within the next day or so.

The portal provides a showcase for energy-related articles on Wikipedia. One of the most prominent ways is via a the selected article that is currently changed every 6 weeks or so. It would be good to increase this turnover, and with three Wikiprojects dedicated to energy-related topics and a good number of articles already written, I'd like to suggest that members of each Wikiproject might like to use the 'selected article' to feature some of their best work.

With this in mind, I'd like to suggest that your Wikiproject bypasses the normal selected article nomination page and decides collectively which articles are worth featuring - or these may be self-evident from previous discussions - and add short 'introduction' to the selected article at the appropriate place on page Portal:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, which includes further information. Your personal involvement would be welcome!

Please make any comments on your Wikiproject talk page, my talk page, or on Portal talk:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, as appropriate. Gralo 15:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] References

Thank you for fixing the references in World Energy The Skeptical Optimist 15:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP Banners

I reverted you in two articles.. That WP Banner template is not useful to Wikipedia nor the WikiProjects: the WP templates are not there just for a turf war, but to also recruit and entice newcomers and or casual readers into joining Wikipedia/WikiProjects. That WP Banner should be used only for established articles (like FAs) where there is no shortage of manpower - however you put the banner to the talk page of a small article who had only one WP Banner - that is really overdoing it. It is a problem because all the WP templates become hidden, and most casual readers wouldn't think of clicking on "show" (how many of us would, really? :)) Please be careful for other articles, and remember that those WP banners serve many purposes. Thanks.. Baristarim 19:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. I am still not sure about the merits of the global banner for small articles however. I remember putting it into an article myself, but it was a big article and was a pretty developed one. I don't know, but I think that they any means that help Wikipedia, and especialy smaller articles, attract new editors is good - especially if they can see that there are special task forces and projects that deal with subjects and all - those "edit" or "show" walls are very hard to pass for many on their own :) Obviously if you had four-five, then it makes sense but for two WP banners in a short article? Many articles have more than one in any case. Cheers! Baristarim 19:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
