Talk:History of the petroleum industry in Canada

message: I removed the proposed deletion template because I don't find that the article violates WP:NOR. On the contrary, this looks like a very promising article, though it certainly needs:
#References. Lots of them.
#Some cleanup, mostly regarding structure.
#A better title. I suggest History of the petroleum industry in Canada, after History of the petroleum industry in North America.

message: This article has been transferred wholesale from here and, although licensed under a CCA, goes against what I perceive Wikipedia to be. Undoubtedly, it is an interesting essay, but is it encyclopaedic? Bubba hotep 09:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wholly agree with you in that the article - as it stands now - is less than perfect encyclopedic material. However, I don't think it's an essay, because I don't see that it reflects its author's personal point of view. I'd say it's more like a magazine article or a popular book, i.e. it's nothing that a bit of style editing could not fix. With that, and the points I've outlined above, this could still be a fine article. GregorB 14:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Good! The article is now no longer orphaned, and I've broken it into sections, which begins to adress point #2 (albeit feebly)... GregorB 18:08, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Problems 

message: I think the division of our coverage on this subject is somewhat arbitrary and awkward.  I would like to move the pages to more descriptive titles that reflect their content, i.e.:
*History of the petroleum industry in Canada -> Early petroleum resource and pipeline development in Canada
*History of the petroleum industry in Canada, part two -> Undeveloped or partially-developed petroleum resources in Canada
Better titles would be fine, too, if you can think of some.  Any thoughts?  --Merovingian ※ Talk 12:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that combining might be a good idea.  The concept of having "parts" of a larger article is rather unorthodox for Wikipedia, because we don't have to have articles of any set length.  That said, we could also siphon off some of the excess information into petroleum resources of Canada.  This would be a good place to describe them in detail and leave this article mainly about history.  --Merovingian ※ Talk 11:07, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is now three parts, and yes, I agree with it being unorthodox to name the articles with Part 1, Part 2 etc.  See Wikipedia:Article series and Wikipedia:Article size for standards for splitting and naming.  It should be considered to move this series over to another Wike, e.g. wikibooks or wikiversity.--rxnd ( t | € | c ) 11:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I like the new approach that you implemented.  The structure change has lifted the quality of the article-series significantly.  Good job!  --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 06:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two-part article? 

message: Can it truly be called a Trans Canada Pipeline if in fact it does not encompass all of the Canadian provinces? The Trans entry in Wikipedia determines its use in geographic terms to convey the meaning "beyond" or "across" something. --HJKeats 15:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trans Canada Pipeline 

message: This is actually the legal name of the pipeline. It cannot be called anything else!!!Pmbcomm 01:49, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  TransCanada PipeLine 

message: The articles in the series should probably be renamed to remove "History of the petroleum industry in Canada", as they are already linked to that article by the portal on top.  For example History of the petroleum industry in Canada (oil sands and heavy oil)‎ could be called History of oil sands and heavy oil in Canada or something catchier, just to make the topic of the article clearer.

thread_title:  Titles of the articles in the series 

message: I would like to comment on the tone of this article.  I question its neutrality.  The text sounds like it is lifted from a promotional brochure related to the oil and gas industry. There is nothing wrong with stating that Canada is or has been a lead producer of natural gas, but I do not think that this is the place for a warm review of Canada's commercial success in the field.  I would like to see a more balanced approach to the subject.  As it stands, I do not feel confident that the article is offering me a complete analysis of the "History of the petroleum industry in Canada."  Even if we refrain from raising environmental issues (which might be worth a paragraph) a purely economically based assessment of the role of petroleum extraction Canada still needs to offer pros and cons, and a variety of angles on the topic. Otherwise, I feel that it is unreliable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Staghorn Sumac (talk • contribs) 17:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
