Talk:Unit of measurement/Format of articles about units

message: ===Interwiki===
One thing that is irretrievably lost when prefixed units are redirected to the root word, or to kilogram in that case, is the interwiki links to the prefixed units in other Wikipedias. Most of the time, this isn't any big loss; nonetheless, we should be aware of its existence.  Gene Nygaard 14:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Interwiki

message: Bobblewik has taken it upon himself to start linking units in the form nanometres (which shows up as nanometres), now that he has redirected all the prefixed units.  I think this is a particularly bad idea.  Better to use the redirects (nanometers), or probably okay to avoid the redirect by using explicit piping of the form nanometers, so that the whole word is highlighted as a link,  IMHO.
Using the redirects gives us the additional advantage of still being able to use the "What links here" function to find articles using a particular prefix.
The problem is that people seeing only the "metre" part in blue, with the "nano" or other prefix in black, are less likely to click on it if it is the prefix they don't understand.  And that, of course, is most likely going to be what they don't understand, especially for units generally used by most everybody, such as meters, grams, litres, watts, volts, and the like.

Talk:Steel mill

message: This article still needs some work, but I've redone the introduction. It used to say Steel is an alloy of iron produced through iron ore, coke, limestone being smelted in a blast furnace, which just isn't accurate. A blast furnace produces pig iron or molten iron, but not steel. 
The intro is now accurate, but there's a lot of duplication. And, like many other articles that describe processes that have existed since the industrial revolution, there's also the need to be careful not to just describe the process as it is now and in one place (and often in English Wikipedia this means the USA, as that's where most of our contributors live) and imply that this is what it's always been everywhere. We need to do the research and find out what the process is in other places, and was in other times, and/or try to phrase the article so it's obvious exactly what is being described, which is often not easy. Andrewa 04:52, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: As most of the articles dealing with the steel industry on the English Wikipedia, this article is mixing some topics. It has no clear difference with steel making article.
Today, a steel mill is only the plant which produces semi-finished casting products, from pig iron and/or from scraps. It operates converters or electric arc furnaces, some secondary metallurgy tools, and a continuous casting (sometimes a ingot casting).
It seems necessary to focus on this aspect. Blast furnaces produce pig iron, rolling mills produce bars or coils. Of course, many old books make the confusion between ironworks (i.e. puddling/fining furnaces) and steel mills (i.e. converter). And simplification leads often to call blast furnaces, or steel mills, the complete steel industry.
So, I propose to define precisely the modern meaning of steel mill, and then to focus on its modern definition, i.e. converting or electric furnaces smelting, alloying tools and casting semi-finished steel products.

Template talk:Canadian currency and coinage

message: I disagree with the recent change to call the coins by their "official" names instead of their common everyday names.  Especially for the coins < $1, their names are not at all slangy in the usual sense of the word.  Penny, Nickel, etc are the usual Canadian English names for these coins.  Formal gov't publications may refer to them as "1 cent coin", "5 cent coin", etc, but to the best of my knowledge there is nothing officially mandating those terms as official names for the coins; I think of these terms as formal government descriptions of the coins.  Even if the mint of some other official source said that "1 cent coin" was the official name, and not penny, I would still prefer to use the normal Canadian English names here.  These are also the names used for the articles for the coins.

thread_title:  "Slang" vs Official 

message: I am looking at the link to community currencies that are recognized  as currency here in Canada and I disagree with the list as it is.  I did not wish to be rude and just edit it myself yet I hope that the list of currencies are revised so that they may be more appropriate to the subject.  In specific, the reference of Petro points as a community currency.  Petro points are no different than any other promotional giveaway and if Petro Canada's Petro Points program is accepted by the Wikipedia community as a community currency, then why isn't Zeller's and The Bay's HBC Reward Points, The Air Miles Program, and Save on More Points and every other loyalty program listed in here as well?  This is a rhetorical question and the reason why we all know is because the list would get too monotonous.  The only one that might qualify is Canadian Tire Money, as they treat the money like cash and you can pay for your entire purchase in Canadian Tire Currency.  If Loyalty programs are going to be mentioned here they should be mentioned in their own table labeled "major loyalty programs in Canada".  Also, Why is their no mention or links to any articles about Salt Spring Island Dollars.  Tis is likely Canadas most successful private currency.  Nearly every business in Salt Spring Island accepts them as cash, and these businesses will ask their customers if they would like their change returned in "Saltspring Island Dollars" if they have any to spare.  I ask the wiki community to consider this

I haven't exhausted Google's possibilities, but I can't find any reference to this.  Also, he apparently held Hermione's mother, Pamela Plowden, in very high regard.  Surely, for him to conduct an affair with the daughter of a women he had once proposed to would have been extremely scandalous?  Not to say it couldn't happen, but I think we need a source.  Therfore, I'm removing the claim that Hermione was 'former mistress of Winston Churchill' for the present, as well as the 'uncited sources' tag.
