Category talk:Oil fields of Scotland

message: The current category definition reads simply:
:Oil fields of Scotland.
A discussion arising out of a CfD debate on this category led to a concern that the word "of" in the category title might be misleading, since oil licensing and taxation within the UK is currently a reserved matter under the Scotland Act 1998.
To clarify what the category describes, without getting too deeply into the ownership debate, I suggest that the category text should be changed to:
:Oil fields in Scotland or its territorial waters, as defined by the Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999.
Any objections| --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
:You will not be in the least surprised to learn that yes, you do have an objection, if you intend to nominate the actual cat for renaming to "in". However, I support your idea for the introduction clarification. There is absolutely no case for naming one of these categories in a different fashion from all the others. Either rename all of this group of cats to "in" or none of them. The cat does not claim to be about licensing or taxation, simply about geographical location.
:I note that we have :Category:Mountains and hills of Scotland, Canada, Nigeria etc, but :Category:Towns in Scotland, Brazil, India etc, so the "in" versus "of" terminology seems to be open to debate. Nominate the entire oil fields group of cats for renaming and I may well support your proposal. --Mais oui! 07:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Chrysler Patriot

message: Flywheel is 147 lbs?  http://www.allpar.com/model/patriot.html says "The flywheel system weighed 1147 pounds, and was vacuum housed; it could spin up to 58,000 rpm on its gimbaled mounting. The motor had three-phase permanent neodymium iron boron magnets in a Halbach array. The rim and housing were made of carbon fiber; the bearings were mechanical."

Talk:Titahi Bay Transmitter

message: Just did did a quick style and grammar clean up as how the article read before looked more like a discussion page post than an article. Also sourced figures on the height.First post w00t. 
Here's what i removed/changed...
"I believe the actual height is 220 meters, in the last few years the tower was being refurnished, badly corroded parts were removed and replaced, the whole tower being sand blasted and repainted. The NZ CAA required upgrading of the warning lights at the top of the tower. These are supposed to be thousands of light emitting diodes (LED)
During the work, to climb to the top of the tower, according to one of the people doing it, took 45-minutes. From the top it was possible to see all the way up the Kapiti Coast.
I am unclear as to whether or not the project was finished as planned, I was told that when they waterblasted it 2 years earlier to repaint, that it was in a worse state than believed and the earlier paint system had badly broken down, so they returned to sandblast, replace parts, and for a second time to paint it. I am unable to see the new LED lights."
If someone who has sources for any infomation regarding the site could they please include them.

replies: text: Agreed. This got out of hand some time ago. One of those back-burner things for me, I keep wanting to get at it and do a major overhaul. There is a legitimate topic here and a few of the centres have Wikipedia articles. I think it would be better to provide one or two links in the external links section that contain lists of artist-run centres. A paragraph can be devoted to explaining the different types of artist-run centres with examples from existing articles. But the long list of links needs to go.

thread_title:  Preliminary Sources 

message: I am puzzled by the title of the article, the Pynin Chimei, which goes against all rules of WP. There is an accepted English name, Red Eyebrows or Red Brows which was used for centuries in the English-language literature, this term is known throughout the world in every imaginable language with the same semantics, only one of which is the Chinese Pynin Chimei; moreover, no English-language publication is entitled Chimei, the Chinese form and transcription is given in the body of the text, like for any other foreign term, and that includes all history textbooks in the whole world, from grade level to universities. The practical consequence of the current redirect is that the article is practically eliminated from the reference materials searched with the search engines. My guess is that the majority of the editors of this article also know the rebellion as Red Eyebrows rebellion, not Chimei rebellion. I suggest that the original title Red Eyebrows be restored, and a proper introduction present the Chinese form and transcription. Barefact (talk) 02:48, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Eurasian pygmy shrew

message: Hi folks,
I am not a member of Wikipedia Commons, so I just inform you, that the animal in the picture is not an Eurasian Pygmy Shrew. From the additional long white hairs interspersed into the fur, you can tell it belongs to the Subfamily of the white-toothed shrews: Crocidurinae. As far as I can tell from the picture, it is a young Bicolored Shrew (Crocidura leucodon).
Thanks for considering.

message: This article is a mess, even by the relatively low standards of backwater Wikipedia articles.  While the article title, lede and infobox strongly suggest that this article is about the privately-held Riedel glass manufacturing of Austria, its contents read more like an unsourced and hagiographic biographical history of the 11 generations of the Riedel family.  Much of the personal information provided is not even particularly pertinent to the present-day company.  If these members of the Riedel family are noteworthy as individuals, separate articles should be created and maintained for them, and such personal information moved to those article titles -- provided reliable sources exist.  If an active Wikipedia editor does not want to take this on as a project, I may return to do a significant re-write and upgrade later this year.

From what I remember though, it was actually pretty informative about Maori rights and the history of New Zealand.
