Misplaced Pages:Redirect for Discussion

Just letting you know I am nominating the redirect page Saft for discussion because if anything it should be an article and not redirecting to something unrelated. --Tedd-the-Tiger (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It is a redirect stub article. So, if you can write the article about Saft, you would do it, because Saft is a very important company in the electric vehicle industry (batteries). --Mac (talk) 06:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

UNPA

I am happy to see you have taken an interest in the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly article. My hope is that we can improve it enough to get it to Featured Article status (see Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates.) We should try to get permission from Andreas Bummel to include the proposed UNPA flag (the one with parliamentary benches). Captain Zyrain 20:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I am ready to help to improve this article. Where can we contact him ?. (If you want, you can send me an email). I belive IPU would obtain a UN General Assembly subsidiary organ status. Regards.--Mac 20:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Email

Here is the answer:

Hello,

Mr. Bummel forwarded your request to me. You are welcome to use the proposed design of a UNPA logo and flag on Misplaced Pages. Please credit me with the design.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Petroleum dependence

I've nominated an article you've contributed a number of times to for deletion. Discussion is the link above. -Theanphibian 23:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand now, when you have built almost all of the articles for German, French, and Japanese nuclear plants. How happy are electric companies and employes about nuclear power. But, people says nuclear (power and residues) ? no, thanks. --Mac 16:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

This subject is covered in the appropriate place. -Theanphibian 08:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

In the anti-nuclear movement article, without NPOV. --Mac 07:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Please vote on FAC

Anti-nuclear movement

Can you upload your image of "nuclear-no-thanks" as a low resolution fair use image to the English wikipedia for use in the anti-nuclear movement article? Fair use doesn't exist on the commons. Cheapthrill 19:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded to Image:Englishsm.gif . --Mac 06:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Help

See User_talk:SandyGeorgia#UNPA_FAC. We are on the verge of getting article to FA status (just need to fix citations) but I just broke my arm today and typing is rather slow. Do you think you can help? Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Citation needed

Please see User_talk:Nopetro#25.2C000_legislators. If you have any info that may shed light on this, please add it to the article. Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 02:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Compressed air articles

Thanks for your recent edits, those articles are looking a lot less like MDI ads than they used to. I'm trying to push specific MDI details onto the MDI page (although I've got no problem with using its technologies as an example, as you have done), and I'm also thrifting 'external links' on each of that cascade of articles so that there aren't too many for each company. Cheers Greg Locock (talk) 21:49, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Good. The MDI can be an example for the open source compressed air car movement. They know aprox. what to look for in the open source Market --Mac (talk) 06:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Solar power in the United States

Please rename (move) Solar photovoltaic power in the U.S. to Solar power in the United States. No redirect is necessary. This move has been requested at WP:RM 199.125.109.102 (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Done by Vegaswikian. This is OK. Thank you. --Mac (talk) 21:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

It should have just been done as a page move though. There is no need to leave behind the former name. 199.125.109.102 (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I differ from this. Solar photovoltaic power in the U.S. can be a splitted article in the near future. --Mac (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

CfD nomination of Category:Vehicle manufacturers

Category:Vehicle manufacturers, which you created, has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. – Good Ol’factory 09:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

PHEV energy displacement

On 13:21, 27 May 2008, you added the energy displacement section to the PHEV article. The figure given seems right, but I have been looking for an authoritative source for such a rule of thumb. If you can direct me to the source material that you think it came from, I'd be happy to dig it out and cite it. Thanks Mak (talk) 17:47, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Added the reference in the article. --Mac (talk) 07:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Archiving

Hi, you should really consider archiving your talk page instead of just deleting whole sections of it. Also, simply labeling such deletions as minor (like here) could be seen as a disingenuous use of the edit summary. NJGW (talk) 12:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Oil price increases since 2003

You are still adding links to redirects when the real article is already linked to (such as you did at Oil price increases since 2003). This is getting disruptive. Please stop. NJGW (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oil shock is another name to oil crisis and this could be added. It would be interesting to know the differences, if any, between oil shocks and oil crisis.
• Soaring is very used in a lot of literature, including the own article, about oil prices increses and specially usefull for non-native English speakers. --Mac (talk) 05:46, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

If you can find a good set of sources which differentiates between Oil shock and Oil crisis, go ahead and write an article. Right now it looks like you don't even know the difference, so you are only cluttering up the "See also" sections. Someone who clicks on both links and finds they lead to the same place will assume that the editors writing the page are amateurish for creating such double re-directs and will revert, same as I did. Also, I don't think that each article in Misplaced Pages has room for a glossary at the end. Those who need a definition can easily look up what ever word they don't know, rather than us trying to guess all the words they may be unfamiliar with. NJGW (talk) 16:00, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of U.S. presidential candidates position on plug-in hybrids

I have nominated U.S. presidential candidates position on plug-in hybrids, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/U.S. presidential candidates position on plug-in hybrids. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 09:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Please, do not make redirects such as this one. It went to the same page. Brusegadi (talk) 18:16, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Quick note, thread on the admin noticeboard at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Redirect-philic user. You're not in any trouble at the moment, that I know of, but you're welcome to read and comment if you'd like. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:23, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
