Talk:Trans-Alaska Pipeline System

message: I don't think the Exxon Valdez should be mentioned as a Trans-Alaska Pipeline spill.  Its accident occured away from the pipeline. --Kitch 11:24, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Last sentence 

message: From somewhere in BC:
My concern with this page, is that it only shows PART of what many people concider to be the Alaska Pipeline.  Namely, the people in NorthWestren Canada.   
But, again, it is the Alaska highway pipeline I'm thinking of...  (As the link suggests)
:There is no pipeline which runs from the Prudhoe Bay fields in Alaska through Canada. A natural gas pipeline has been proposed whose route would follow the Alcan Highway, but there no money has yet been dedicated to such a project, nor are the oil companies interested in transporting natural gas out of Prudhoe Bay at this time.
:Historically you may be confusing the CANOL project with TAPS. The former was a WWII era pipeline from Haines to somewhere up in the Yukon or NWT, only a few inches in diameter (like six or ten I think) and designed to carry fuel not crude. The old fuel terminal still stands in Haines and is occupied by the US Army, I believe. The road built alongside still functions as the Haines Highway up to Haines Junction in YT. TAPS however was built in the 70s and is strictly within Alaska's boundaries, it doesn't come anywhere near the Canadian border at all. – Jéioosh 04:10, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canadian portion? 

message: I was thinking in terms of the controversy involved. There seems to be similar controversy surrounding drilling at ANWAR, today.
:Feel free to add anything you'd like, even just some bullet points. There are some similarities with the ANWR controversy, but there are some very significant differences too. – Jéioosh 04:10, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Would more history in the article be appropriate? 

message: Why is there apparently no Wikipedia article about the proposed (or currently being built?) Alaskan Natural Gas Pipeline?  It's a huge project that will deliver enormous amounts of natural gas to the lower 48 states, but I can't find any signifigant mentions of it in Wikipedia.  It was even profiled on 60 Minutes.  I wouldn't really know where to begin writing it myself, so could somebody more qualified start it?
:IIRC it's still not past the stage where the state legislature argues about it incessantly and then decides that they'll leave it for the next batch of politicians to work out. That combined with the fact that BP doesn't want to sell its gas on the Slope, and... So it's all talk at this point, at least as far as I know (I've been away from AK for six months so I could be out of the loop.). Granted it would be nice to have an article that sums up all the issues, however. — Jéioosh 21:56, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alaskan Natural Gas Pipeline 

message: I don't know how this article is still a GA, since it was reviewed by User:Worldtraveller who is ordinarily a fairly strict reviwer, but the only two notes refer to a current event, and the only two other refs don't exactly cover the entire article. This is not well-referenced. Homestarmy 19:25, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Delisted Ga

message: I recall a news story about the leak which mentioned the life expectancy of the pipes. I don't remember what that was, and I didn't see a number for that in the article or in the links provided. It seems to me to be a relevant bit of information. Brian Pearson 06:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Life expectancy of pipe? 

message: If all the energy that has gone into construction and maintainance is fully added up, which includes the energy that has gone into the production of aluminum, steel etc used, and into refining and shipping the gasoline that has been burned etc, how does the total relate to the energy eventually obtained from the pipeline's production of crude oil? The corporations have enjoyed huge tax breaks, and it has all been immensely profitable in dollars, needless to say. The "cost" is reported as US$8bn here, but has the total energy budget broken even yet? This is the essential question, unaddressed by the somewhat corporatist and surficial report in this Wikipedia article. No doubt the question has been addressed in scientific literature: why isn't it here? --Wetman 02:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "corporatist"? That's a new one. The article describes the Alaska pipeline perfectly.  This isn't Mother Jones.  Feel free write an article on the economics of the pipeline, if you have some facts with citations.  --Bridgecross (talk) 14:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: A net gain?

message: Saw this article in the Houston Chronicle today ,figured there might be enough information to be incorporate and update the article by someone with more knowledge on the matter than I am. --Hourick (talk) 20:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alaska article 

message: This is an informal peer review and I recommend to list it also for a formal peer review. Please see WP:PR how to nominate it for the peer review.
following the check against FA  criteria:
* 1.(a) well-written 
* 1(b) comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context; The section about the operator and owners is neded. Although Alyeska Pipeline Service Company is mentioned in the history sections, information about its current composition, operations etc is needed. Ideally it should summarize the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company article, but this article seems to be little bit out of date and not in very good shape.
* 1 (c) well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature on the topic. Claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported with citations; this requires a "References" section that lists these sources, complemented by inline citations where appropriate; Very well cited, but the Maintenance section does not have any reference. Also the last sentence in the Future of the pipeline section needs an inline reference. 
* 1(d) neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias; 
* 1(e) stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured article process. 
* 2(a) a lead—a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections; 
* 2(b) appropriate structure—a system of hierarchical section headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents; 
* 2(c) consistent citations—where required by Criterion 1c, consistently formatted inline citations using either footnotes (Smith 2007, p. 1.) or Harvard referencing (Smith 2007, p. 1) (see citing sources for suggestions on formatting references; for articles with footnotes, the meta:cite format is recommended).  For formatting, I recommend to use ; ; ; ,  etc templates.
**Just a note that cite templates are neither recommended nor discouraged; if an article has evolved with a particular format of citation (in this case without templates, then there is no real reason to change the format. See WP:CITE. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:07, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Informal peer review 

message: This edit was reverted with the edit summary "Incorrect spelling." But there was a lot more content than just the change to the pipeline name. Please inspect it and be sure. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:06, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow. I cant believe I actually missed those other edits. I wouldn't have bothered with reverting that revision if I had noticed those because I really don't know much about the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Sorry about that.

thread_title:  Error in "Native Objections" 

message: "The pipeline was built between 1974 and 1977 after the 1973 oil crisis caused a sharp rise in oil prices in the United States. This rise made exploration of the Prudhoe Bay oil field economically feasible."
Feasible? May be justified? Or, at least, reasonable? Economically feasible is everything up to sending the whole Earth population to live on Moon. Economically reasonable or justified is another matter. 80.247.179.118 (talk)
