Talk:Atomic tourism

message: Hello, I noticed that you added Nuclear Waste Adventure Trail, Weldon Spring, Missouri to the Atomic Tourism article. I'm reaching out to let you know that I removed it because the article is formatted such that all sites listed have their own Wikipedia article, and there is not an article for the NWAT. So it is not consistent with the rest of the page. You could start a new article on the NWAT if you are interested in doing so. All best, the Netherzone (talk) 21:41, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Respectfully, whether or not you think it is a "good reason" or a bad reason is irrelevant. The Wikipedia Manual of Style has an entry on the formatting of embedded lists that states: "listed items should be formatted consistently." ALL of the items in the lists embedded in this article begin with a bullet point and a blue-linked site that has its own wikipedia page. Either the Nuclear Waste Adventure Trail is not notable enough to warrant its own WP article, or no one has yet written an article on it. Either way, adding it to the list disrupts the format and style and is inconsistent with the rest of the article. See:  As to creating a link to Weldon Spring Ordnance Works that is definitely not a good idea, because the WSOW is not an Atomic Tourist site, but rather a SuperFund site of a former explosives plant, and this article is on Atomic Tourism. You ask "what would be better?" my suggestion is that NWAT is not included in this article until a page is created for it. It is a trail, and seems to be a minor site in relation to other more established museums and atomic legacy facilities. Also, a friendly reminder to please sign your posts with four tildes so your username and time stamp appear on talk page posts, and you can indent your reply by adding colons before you start typing your note.

thread_title: Article format and inclusion criteria

message: This site was largely taken from www.atomictourist.com.  I am pretty sure it does not violate copyrights, but others might differ.
Should probably also include Chernobyl. 80.221.2.154 21:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Please stop adding a paragraph on Fukushima. I appreciate the enthusiasm but this article is not a list of civilian nuclear accidents. It does however contain a list of tourist destinations related to nuclear energy, some of which are accident sites.
Fukushima doesn't belong here because the site is still closed and hasn't seen a single tourist. If, one day, the site becomes accessible and attracts tourists (like Chernobyl), it can be mentioned. In the meantime, there are plenty of other opportunities to improve this article.Bomazi (talk) 01:27, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fukushima 

message: I added references concerning Chernobyl, whose status as a tourist destination is well established. Are Three Mile Island and Windscale tourist targets as well? How famous is Windscale anyway? I don't know but references and elaborations would be nice. Bomazi (talk) 01:45, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Atomic accidents section 

message: The article is incorrect in asserting that the novel "Roadside Picnic" has anything to do with Chernobyl, considering that the book was written in 1971, and the Chernobyl accident happened in 1986. However, there are computer games, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl", "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky", and "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat" which have some terminology inspired by the book and are associated with Chernobyl and Pripyat.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:_Shadow_of_Chernobyl35.9.60.184 (talk) 06:32, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Do we have a guideline for inclusion of external links? Currently there are two that link to personal blogs, My Radioactive Vacation, and Taylor's Nuke Site. While there are some nice photos on these sites, they are personal research, and I'm not sure if they belong here. Feedback requested. Netherzone (talk) 13:39, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
