Hi, Theanphibian. There is a stub about the Blayais Nuclear Power Plant. Maybe you are interested to expand it. Beagel (talk) 05:14, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Cruas-3.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The last row in the table you added to Coal power in China has some numbers that look unusually large. It looks like you copied kiloton figures from the source, but the rest of the table in the Wikipedia article is in megatons. --Teratornis (talk) 22:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct and this was just me not keeping up with the numbers well. Thank you for your correction, it is fantastic to know that people are watching some of my highest priority articles. -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:52, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:00, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, International Sustainable Energy Agency, has been listed for deletion.

Hi, Theanphibian. There is something wrong with Template:China nuke plant map and Template:Russia nuke plant map. Beagel (talk) 07:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion about the new power station infobox which will combine all different type of stations' infoboxes, including nuclear power station infobox you created. Your input is appreciated. Beagel (talk) 08:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Aomori Shimokita-gun.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:47, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the PDFs that TEPCO puts up gives my PDF readers big problems. I ran them through Google's translation tool and then stripped the Japanese source back out of it. Then I ran it through a Mathematica parser to make the plots. I did try an SVG version, but Mathematica's exporter made a hash of it; PNG seems ok tho.

One thing I think might be interesting to do next is to look for more radiation monitors in outlying regions. I wandered around at the link you posted and ended up at [1], which seems quite useful but only has Kanagawa. There are probably equivalents for other prefectures? -- Xerxes (talk) 23:51, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, actually, this plot-maker kind of makes all the effort we've been going through seem pointless: [2]. I guess it's nice to have English versions for people to look at. -- Xerxes (talk) 00:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After Fukushima I wanted to help and raise awareness what this technology does and what can be done to prevent another Chernobyl or Fukushima anywhere in the world. Maybe you can have a look at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 March 18, where I created an entry for E.ON Kernkraft GmbH. NuclearEnergy (talk) 16:54, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

Here you wrote that Toshiba manufactured the reactors of the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant. Where did you get that from? The source I found states that the reactors were built by Hitachi. While we're at it, could you explain what T/G stands for? Devon1980 (talk) 17:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you created {{Location map Spain}}. Would you create a similar one for the Pas-de-Calais Department for me please? I've had a go myself but just keep getting error messages on preview. Extent of the map would be about 51.2 top, 49.8 bottom, 1.2 left and 3.5 right (I think), not sure where the centre would be but approx 50.5, 2.4 should do it. Mjroots (talk) 16:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I did raise this at WP:GL/M#French Departments. The map I had in mind was File:Pas-de-Calais department location map.jpg, but apparently that needs to be converted to .svg format. What I'm looking for is something similar to {{Location map France Côtes-d'Armor}}. These maps could probaly be improved by the addition of major roads, railways and town such as on {{Location map United Kingdom Kent}}, but that is another matter. Mjroots (talk) 07:52, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've got inkscape installed but I don't understand it and can't get on with it. Mjroots (talk) 16:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		For providing the pronunciation of "Fukushima Daiichi" - instead of just complaining about the problem of mispronunciation, as most people would, you did something about it. Great stuff.  Chzz  ►  17:47, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When it's really that trivial to make it... could you also add Fukushima daini for consistency? Tnx! L.tak (talk) 18:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed your interest in nuclear engineering. Perhaps you can help me with the above BLP. See [3]. Even referring this to another, more appropriate, editor would be greatly appreciated. Yakushima (talk) 14:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughtful comments and kind words on the talk page. I'm replying here because I doubt my response conforms with talk page guidelines.

British libel law complicates the picture. Busby has provided lots of expert-witness testimony (see his CV) and I doubt this was entirely pro bono work. I can see how explosion of litigation on these issues works for him -- including the whole new frontier of lawsuits against the media. (Wikipedia could, I assume, be considered "media"). When Busby provides such testimony, however, I assume it is crafted under the advice of lawyers who make sure he doesn't say anything that could get him sued.

Busby himself may feel somewhat victimized by the legal situation epitomized by the Simon Singh case. The CERRIE minority report (of which Busby was co-author) was apparently excluded from the final report because legal advice indicated a possibility of violating British libel law. This was characterized as a "gag order" in some reports, even though LLRC itself says on its website that the CERRIE committee voted to exclude the minority report, on the advice of government lawyers:

Lawyers at Defra, the environment ministry, have sent letters to all 12 members of the committee warning them that they could be sued for defamation if they include Bramhall and Busby's minority report. [4]

Still, if you theorize that LNT is wildly inadequate for radiation safeguard policy, aren't there ways of saying it that don't (necessarily) reflect poorly on the character of your opponents in scientific debate? Rather than say that somebody's "suppressing" information, you can assert instead that they gave undue weight to other information, or need to review information they might have overlooked.

I haven't read the CERRIE minority report (you have to buy it from LLRC, it's not even available on Amazon). But I can only conclude that it accused regulators of withholding information that, if made public, would shut down all reactors in the UK. LLRC says as much on its own website:

The authors of the Minority Report believe that the suppression of material which has occupied much of the three year CERRIE process was motivated by fears that, if it were published in an official report, it could precipitate legal challenges to the emissions authorisations without which nuclear reactors cannot function. This could have a significant impact on the future potential for nuclear power.[5]

"Suppression." This is hardly different from saying the committee caved under pressure from the nuclear industry and its presumed-captive regulators. "Occupied much of the three year CERRIE process": this is tantamount to saying, "the Final Report was gutted -- we've got the real report right here for you -- quite a scoop, and you can buy it from us!" Well, what if I want to get it from a library instead of LLRC? Ah, WorldCat is telling me the UK (of all places) doesn't carry it in any of its libraries. [6] Richard Wakeford said Busby's work is frustratingly inaccessible, and it looks like he might have a point. Yakushima (talk) 04:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.

There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.

The new energy outlines are:

• Outline of solar energy
• Outline of wind energy

Please take a look at them, and....

if you spot missing topics, add them in.

if you can, improve the descriptions.

add missing descriptions.

show parent-offspring relationships (with indents).

fix errors.

For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.

Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.

Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...

As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking {{Main}} links, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.

Thank you. Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:57, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: see also Outline of energy

The outline articles seem to be generally list oriented. I have had trouble with this sort of thing myself, since any new list creates overhead that goes along with other edits. The solar article is labeled orphan, although I don't think that's very meaningful, since having in-links isn't really the point. If I was going to make one recommendation, it would be that the specific power plants would be better spun off. -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:38, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The file File:Nuclear hand.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free jmage being used in a decorative manner in a image gallery. Such non-free use is generally not allowed per WP:NFG because the cpntext required by WP:NFCC#8 is not provided. This particular non-free use is no exception since the logo itself is not the subject of any sourced critical commentary anywhere in the article and removing it would not be detrimental to the reader's understanding of any of the article's content.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

A tag has been placed on North American Young Generation in Nuclear, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
