IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this userright to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:18, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

• I'm pinging Vituzzu so he's aware that I've granted a IP block exemption. Vituzzu, this account is run by an educator in Turkey and he got caught up in an IP block because of the VPN he was using to get around Turkey's ban of Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:21, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Question for administrator

I am having trouble getting the above iP block extension extended to Turkish Wikipedia and Simple English Wikipedia. I trıed to get help from Vituzzu as descrıbed in the error message

---

Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis. The block was made by Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is hosting service with open proxies such as 31.204.151.3. Start of block: 11:25, 4 November 2017 Expiration of block: 11:25, 4 November 2022 You can contact Vituzzu to discuss the block. You cannot use the "Email this user" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 31.204.151.66, and the blocked range is 31.204.128.0/19. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

but have receıved no reply so far. There is a problem in the procedure. Detaıls here

1) Please can you give me ip block exemption on Turkish Wikipedia and Simple English Wikipedia.

2) As others are having similar problems how can we fix the procedure so it does not put all the burden on one person? Chidgk1 (talk) 06:42, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Chidgk1, (non-admin comment) Per the instructions on the Meta-Wiki meta:Meta:IP block exemption, leave an unblock request on your meta talk page. Hope that helps. programmingGeek(talk, contribs) 18:02, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Administrators on English Wikipedia have no power to extend IP block exemption to other wikis. There are two possible ways of dealing with this. Firstly, you can request IP block exemption separately on the Turkish and Simple English Wikipedias. Secondly, you can ask at meta whether you can be considered fro global IP block exemption, as ProgrammingGeek has suggested above. However, the link that ProgrammingGeek has given is just for requesting IP block exemption for editing on meta, not for global IP block exemption on all wikis. The link you need is meta::Global IP block exemptions. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:25, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you both for your prompt replies. Occasionally I can edit but presumably that is by chance that the ip used by the vpn has not yet been blocked? I cannot find any info on local blocks so perhaps there are none, so I have requested global exemption as you suggested. But how about question 2 - I will need to check that Turkish Wikipedia has no local block but assuming the block is purely global should the error message suggest applying as I have just done rather than dump everything on poor old Vituzzu who presumably has no time to reply? Chidgk1 (talk) 18:38, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

• The block information specifically details the IP range that is blocked. It is entirely possible that you are sometimes assigned an IP that is outside of any currently-blocked ranges, and that is why you are able to edit at some times and not at others. There is really no reason that you or any affected users need to discuss the block with the blocking Steward. What you need is the aforementioned global IP block exemption. I don't know why the block notice does not give users information on requesting this exemption. It may be intentional, but I'm not sure. Perhaps, if you'd like to suggest that global IP block exemption be referenced in a global IP block notification, you can raise the issue at the software's technical support desk, and someone there can either assist you or explain to you why they don't do that.  Swarm  {talk}  23:15, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

If you could check the talk page of nuclear power, that'd be great. Appreciate the attention, though we need to keep it focused on the dispute, it isn't an article section that will list a bunch of random stuff.

Speedy deletion nomination of Shared socioeconomic pathways

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shared socioeconomic pathways requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-shared-socioeconomic-pathways-explore-future-climate-change. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:10, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Chidgk1, I've reorganised the article, reduced the number of small sub-subsections and done other tidying up.

GOCE request

@UnnamedUser: Thanks. I especially appreciated you also taking the time to fix a few things on linked articles, checking some of the sources, tagging missing stuff, and adding some links I had not spotted. If my opinion is worth anything and the rules allow it please let me know if you apply to be an administrator so I can write a sentence in support.

A minor question: why did you remove "in the Eurasian country" from the short description and the link to a category (Category:Coal mining regions in Turkey) further down?

A minor English point: "reign" is for a particular sultan's years I think (like a particular monarch in the UK) rather than Ottoman rule in general - so I will add the sultan's name.

As previously I have spotted errors (probably inadvertent rather than deliberate) in English language news reports on this subject I hope our work on this article will have an impact, albeit perhaps very minor, on the real world by providing solid background info and a research jumping off point for everyone interested. Thanks again and I hope you can take a well earned break after all that.Chidgk1 (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

1) I removed "the Eurasian country" because of ambiguity: at first glance at might appear that there is a country called "Eurasia". Since we want to shorten short descriptions as much as possible, perhaps it's better to just remove it. 2) I removed the category due to an interpretation of WP:PLA, the principle of least astonishment. The doctrine is to make links point to where one would expect them. Our readers are most likely to expect that the link to the category links to an actual article. Thanks!

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

@Jusadi: Thanks. Of course Greenhouse gas emissions by the United States is more important if you have time and are interested in that. There are a lot of differences between the countries but also some similarities. You would be able to find many more sources for the USA but would have to be very careful to keep a neutral point of view. Now that transport is the largest source in the USA it could be a fast moving subject e.g. biofuels for planes and hydrogen trucking. Chidgk1 (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the slow reviewing

Hi there! Sorry for my slowness in providing a review of Greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey. As my first good article review and a quite technical subject, I must apologize for my deliberation. Given that you have quite a few other reviews on hold right now for edits, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to give you a little time to work on those modifications. Please let me know if any change in my reviewing style would be useful to you. Hope you're doing well! Jlevi (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Your reviewing is excellent and yes the articles that I submitted for review gradually over a period of many months are all being reviewed at the same time, so I am happy with you taking your own time and doing a thorough job as I have loads of good review comments on other articles from many people to resolve. Also I need to finish adding 2018 data to the article you are reviewing and improve the graphics.

Now that Afşin-Elbistan C power station has been accepted for DYK and Energy policy of Turkey GAN will probably be withdrawn in favor of a merger my priority order is

Your GA nomination of Energy policy of Turkey

The article Energy policy of Turkey you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Energy policy of Turkey for reasons why the nomination failed.

GA nomination of Energy in Turkey

Chidgk1, I noticed that the merge occurred, and you've nominated Energy in Turkey as a GA in place of the Energy policy of Turkey nomination (which had been left open and I closed).

The problem is that the article is not ready to be nominated: there are far too many one-line sections, which don't adequately deal with the section topic, and the article doesn't meet MOS:LEAD one of the specific GA criteria. In addition, you're asking for a review in June or July in the note you added, because you're expecting to add information before then. The time to nominate is when the article is fully prepared. What you might want to do is request a peer review to get advice in making this particular article ready for a GA nomination.

Since it was clear that the article wasn't ready, I reverted your nomination. This will give you time to methodically improve the article and avoid a quickfail, which could have happened despite the message. Best of luck in continuing to improve the article, which at the moment is a C-class article, not yet up to B-class. It's a fairly good rule of thumb that if an article doesn't qualify for B-class, it isn't close enough to GA level for a nomination to be appropriate, given the major work that is still needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:18, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Thanks for tidying - I was not sure if I had to close the first one myself. I realise the merged article is not ready but GAN seem to sit there until someone reviews them after a few months, so I thought I would have time to improve it before the review. Whereas I requested a peer review on another article in the past and it was closed after some time because nobody reviewed it. Do you know if that is still the case with requests for peer review? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Chidgk1, there is currently a backlog drive going on, and the number of unreviewed articles has been cut by over 58% in 20 days. Since it's continuing on through the end of May, it seems likely that the backlog will be very low, and that a nomination made today is likely to be picked up before the drive ends. (Admittedly, this is unusual based on past waits for reviews, but there is increased activity these days, so the old expectations may not apply for the near future.)

The peer review page seems to be a mixture of requests that have been answered and those that have not. It can't hurt to try, especially with that increased activity I mentioned. You could always ask Kingsif about taking a look at the merged article and giving you suggestions to work on, either independently or as part of a peer review. Best of luck!

edits on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions

Appreciative of your interest in the article and noticing your edits were done in the spirit of good faith, however misdirected, they are unfortunately poorly thought out and you have vandalized the content and wholesale disappeared pertinent sections. Most egregious of all perhaps is the inserting of sentences without citation or references and similarly writing those unsupported sentences, without the use of the encyclopedia voice.

It would be even more appreciated if you reverted all of your edits with the exception of the vattenfall picture, though that needs to be much smaller. Apart from that your edits are vandal like, to an article that was stable for years following a consensus on the talk page and which included all WP:NOTABLE studies on the matter, such as those that received media attention, not simply the IPCC data. Wikipedia is not a mirror of the IPCC. We summarize the notable and controversial matters on a topic and do so in an evolving way. Or some other easily followed structuring.

It takes a while to get the hang of how to contribute to wikipedia, though don't be put off, we all started somewhere. Boundarylayer (talk) 12:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Changes on EMC

Hi there:

I know you mean well, but honestly your edit is not accurate. Calcined clay and limestone is a thermal process which is exogenous and produces abundant CO2. Calcined limestone is 92% Portland Cement. The point of EMC science is completely the opposite.

Calcined limstone / Clay just does not belong on this page let alone have any valid comparison.

Hello Chidgk1 -

In response to a second opinion request from Editoneer, I added some feedback to Talk:Air pollution in Turkey/GA1. You'll note that there are some areas where the wording needs to be clarified and a couple of areas where the breadth of coverage is insufficient to meet GA standards right now. If my feedback can be addressed promptly, I do think the article can be brought up to meet the standards. Thank you for what you do on Wikipedia. Larry Hockett (Talk) 08:12, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Do Americans generally understand the word "tonne"?

I was going around reverting a sockpuppet that was making disruptive engvar changes. I set Coal in Turkey to British because I saw 'tonnes' early in the page history, but if the variety was actually Australian, Canadian, Irish etc. You should of course feel free to change it to whatever variant you wrote the article in. 74.73.230.173 (talk) 17:10, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

If anyone wants to improve the article I don't care what variety of English they use. But the measurements must be metric and easy to understand. So how do Americans spell "tonne"? Do they write "metric ton" or something? Would they understand that the meaning of "tonne" is 1000kg? Chidgk1 (talk) 08:24, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Use of "as of"

I'm noticing quite a few instances where the as of templates has been misused. I've traced back two of these instances to you, and I'm sure there's others. If you have a source stretching back a couple of years, don't make out as of this source was more recent. For instance, in this diff you used as of 2020, but the two sources were from 2017 and 2019.

Carbon Tax Map

Hi there, Ranamode here. I used this source: https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/6/15/15796202/map-carbon-pricing-across-the-globe This was the latest map that I was able to find. Also, I only did the editing as I saw this map , checked the Carbon Tax Wikipedia page and found that there was no map on the page. Ranamode (talk) 21:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Energy in Turkey GA Review on hold

Hi Chidgk1. The GA Review of Energy in Turkey is on hold. The main reason is that the article needs development and copy-editing for layout. I'm happy to keep the review open while positive progression is being made. If, however, you feel that there is too much work to be done in a reasonable time frame (by the end of this year for example), I'm OK with closing the review to allow you to work at the article at your own pace. Regards SilkTork (talk) 10:44, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Air pollution in Turkey

On 8 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Air pollution in Turkey, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that part of the solution to air pollution in Turkey could be electric ferries across the Bosporus? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Air pollution in Turkey. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Air pollution in Turkey), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Template:Did you know nominations/Jeyran (wife of Naser al-Din Shah)

Hi, I came by to promote this nomination and I must say you gave the nominator quite a workout. This is not GA or FA; we are just trying to promote start-class articles here. If you feel an article lacks basic information, go ahead and say so, but anything more than that should be discussed on the article talk page. It's also unclear why you fiddled so much with the hook. ALT6, which appears to be the one selected, looks exactly like the nominator's original ALT0, minus one word. This kind of review can really turn off newbies. In future, please just try to evaluate nominations according to the five main DYK criteria. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:31, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Amir Ghandi Hmm Yoninah is right - sorry I got a bit carried away and made you do too much work for DYK. I hope you are not discouraged from doing more DYK as those kind of amusing hooks and beautiful pics are what we need nowadays I think.

By the way if you or people you know are thinking of doing more translation you might like to comment here about the translation tool. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:33, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello again Yoninah - thanks for putting the article in DYK. But I am curious why the picture was not used as that was the hook I approved. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:24, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Pages you nominated for deletion

Hi Chidgk1. Thx for letting me know about your deletion proposals. I do agree, the list is too long, dated, and the number of models will continue to increase in the near future, plus a lot of Chinese models are missing. Those lists made sense 10 years ago when the number of models was very limited. Nevertheless, I think something is mission in the deletion tags in both articles since there is no link to the deletion discussion page that must be created. Let me know when you fix it to support your proposals. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Mariordo My proposals are to delete without discussion. If you disagree simply remove the deletion notice (I won't be offended) from the relevant article(s) and then no one will be able to propose deletion without discussion of that article in future. I or anyone else may of course later propose deletion with discussion if we can be bothered. By the way perhaps you know there was a discussion nearly a year ago at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_electric_cars_currently_available so it would not be possible to delete that article without another discussion. Chidgk1 (talk) 19:28, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Thx for the explanation. I did not know we could delete a page without a discussion. Since I agree with you as stated above, I will take no action then. Cheers.--Mariordo (talk) 13:40, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Help on article

Hey Chidgk1,

any chance you want to help out on this ? Talk:Carbon_credit#Missing_info_on_carbon_credit_production-related_software_and_online_tools --Genetics4good (talk) 16:36, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Genetics4good It's an interesting question - so thanks for pointing it out. But I tend to come over to these worldwide articles when I want to relax from thinking about the articles on Turkey I want to work on (because very few other people will do them whereas there are lots of people interested in the worldwide ones). This particular bit seems a bit too much like going back to work rather than relaxation so I am afraid I am going to reply no. I am sure there are thousands of other editors with a software background who might be interested - you could try asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. I hope you succeed and get all those new young investors interested. We don't have a national land cover map here yet - once we have one I hope the tools you or someone finds will be useful as there is so much land which used to be forest but our forests are not increasing fast enough - I need to look for research on where trees can regrow now we have less rainfall - whether they grow naturally or need to be planted - whether our voluntary carbon credits can be traded etc etc. So you have given me lots to think about. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Some remarks

"because very few other people will do them whereas there are lots of people interested in the worldwide ones" --> If you look on the wikiproject climate change talk, most issues I brought up and which are important have been tackled by no one. I often feel like operating alone (and really, in all wikiprojects, it feels like everyone is working on their own thing and side-by-side rather then with each other) and to be honest, I'm starting to be somewhat annoyed by that (which is not your fault obviously, it's just a feeling I have)

As for feeling like work, yes it feels like work to me too, and sometimes even get nausea even before embarking on the constant work on all this. I think that those wikiprojects should be there to share that workload (along with all related discomforts)

--Genetics4good (talk) 12:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Genetics4good Yes you are right it often feels like people in a project are editing in parallel rather than as a team - I guess that is the nature of Wikipedia. I think there are pros and cons to working on unpopular articles. At least what I write rarely gets reverted. And having said that no one else is interested I have to say that when I put something in for "good article review" someone eventually goes through the article pretty thoroughly and suggests lots of improvements - which is very useful. The climate change project is a long term thing I think - not a sprint. So don't burn yourself out - sounds like it is time for you to take a Wikibreak. Oh and in your field of genetics when you come back you will likely find lots of new UK stuff to please you as UK will very likely considerably change the GMO rules they inherited from the EU. Chidgk1 (talk) 15:11, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Chidgk1, you are probably right I need a wikibreak, but I certainly would like to see the issue I brought up at the wikiproject Climate Change solved first. In my book, there is no more important topic to write on concerning climate change then the fact that current emission levels (Paris agreement) are not being met, and it needs to be resolved in the next 11 years (see Climate Clock article) as due to the overshooting of the target by a wide margin, there is almost no more time left before 1,5°C warming is reached and we lose nearly all coral reefs, along with a range of devastating effects (see effects of global warming article, and subarticles).

It bothers me that I've had no cooperation from any other Wikiproject Climate change members on this subject whatsoever, despite being the most important thing to tackle in my book (as previously noted). If you read the post, you'll see I mentioned why I didn't understand why countries simply don't compensate the missing emission reductions left (see climate action tracker) using sufficient carbon credits from emissions trading (which in practice often rely on carbon sequestration projects (which are cheap, simple and fast to set up, ie through government tenders)). I still don't know the answer, but embarked on adding info on the tenders on our wiki and the software tools articles I proposed recently are also part of facilitating the easy of setup of carbon sequestration projects further.

I'm hoping you could look at the whole thing, or at least engage some other wikiproject climate change members to work on this. How about you start the Emission reductions by NDC article and just add the info on Turkey's NDC (using the table I proposed) ? The idea I have is that real life emission reductions might differ considerably from the "projected" emission reduction per measure listed in the NDC. The issue then might be that the designated national authority of the country (ministry of environment, ...) only looks at those projected emission reductions and not on the actual emission reductions, meaning they don't know they're not reaching the Paris agreement goal (that's just one possibility of a range of possibilities why the goals aren't reached). In any case, by increasing coverage on all this, we should get some better understanding of why the goals aren't being reached.

--Genetics4good (talk) 13:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Sorry I am not going to spend time on this as I want to focus on my speciality. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok, will contact all members manually. I'm sick and tired of constantly looking after the latest novelty that can have a beneficial effect and writing about it (wild goose chase) while this is the obvious thing that needs to be solved and which might actually make a difference.

Climate change in Turkey

Hi. I was looking at Climate change in Turkey to do a GA Review, but instead let me just leave you with some informal comments. Much of the article is written as a series of very short (often one or two sentence) sections. This is very difficult to read because it chops up the flow. I would suggest reworking the article to be longer sections of running prose. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for that comment. You are right that at the moment the sections are very short. But it follows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climate_change/Style_guide#Outline_for_articles_about_specific_countries_or_geographies

I have added some more text, and as the pace of research is hotting up I will check again and expand further with latest info when someone picks it up for GAR. I think the section headings will act as reminders for editors to add new info. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:45, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Chidgk1, Individual wikiprojects may publish style guides, but they don't override the WP:GA criteria. The goal of GA is to write good articles, and one of the criteria is "Broad in coverage : addresses the main aspects of the topic". Leaving placeholders for future editors to add new info is antithetical to that. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:32, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

RoySmith If you have time to do a GAR that would be great - I will consolidate the small subsections whilst you are checking the other criteria. If not I will wait a couple of weeks as new info may well be published in April as background to Turkey sending new greenhouse gas figures to the UNFCCC, or to set the tone for the climate meeting being chaired by the USA, or hopefully even ratifying the Paris Agreement. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:32, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Chidgk1, So, that brings up another point, that of WP:NPOV. Although I didn't mention it, my initial impression was that this was more of a position paper than a neutral treatment of the subject. Your comments here seem to support that. At this point, I don't think I could give it a dispassionate reading, so I'll leave it on the queue for somebody else to review. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:33, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

RoySmith Although I am expressing a point of view here on my talk page I would like the article to be neutral. So if your point of view differs from mine a GAR from yourself would be more useful than one from someone who agrees with me, in that you would be more likely to spot biased writing or statements which are not properly backed up by sources. If you don't have time to do a full GAR perhaps you could tag problem sentences with , , or whatever. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Chidgk1, Actually, I happen to agree with your POV, but putting on my wikipedia editor hat, it's obvious that this is a position paper. I really can't tag any specific sentences, because it is deeper than that. It is exceptionally difficult to write about a topic you feel strongly about and not have that bias permeate your writing. If I were to take this on as a review, I would almost certainly quick-fail it for "it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias". But rather than do that, I'll just leave it for somebody else. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:48, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Barrington

I think you understand why I added the project to the Barrington article. Somehow the position that a libertarian think tank has on climate change is important to COVID. And I was going to post an invitation for project members to opine. But really they should stay away. One – reader interest in the article is now quite low now. Two – the talk page debates are a morass of POV pushing. Three – the vaccine is working quite nicely. But you can always speak up. Something like "I'm a member of the Climate Change WikiProject. Will someone explain the connection between climate change and COVID?" I wonder what kind of response you'd get. Best regards. – S. Rich (talk) 06:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry I did some wikipedia stuff on covid about a year ago. I only have so much energy and time and if I try to spread it out too much I will lose motivation. The climate change project is quite active so feel free to ask on the project talk page if you wish. I won't be offended if you try to convince them that my undo of your change was wrong, and I will try not to take part in any discussion. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Odd merge

What happened here? It looks like you copy-pasted an entire article into the end of another article after the refs and cats... I assume that you're intending to go back and work the content into one coherent article soon, in which case this is not a big deal. If you are not, however, I would recommend self-reverting until you are prepared to do a proper content merge (or until someone else takes it upon themselves to do so). jp×g 06:17, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes I always start a merge with a straight cut and paste as that seems to be what the merge instructions suggest in order to allow another user to most easily revert the whole merger. Having said that I think the merge instructions would put off new editors. So I hope someone might make mergers simple to do with the Visual Editor in future. I know VE could not do everything but most of the stuff I just did commented "post merge tidy" could be automated I think. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:41, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Uyanış: Büyük Selçuklu

I suggested an Alt hook for this DYK to help clear the back log. It's not my article, but I saw you were willing to take over the DYK review. Maybe you could take a look at it. Best.4meter4 (talk) 18:54, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The article has been listed for a new reviewer. Feel free to jump in now, as it looks like the original reviewer and author are not coming back. 4meter4 (talk) 10:36, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

@4meter4: I am not sure of the procedure. Should I take the role of the reviewer or the author and will you take the other role? If so I suppose I had better take author as I live in Turkey and know a bit of Turkish. Or can I take both roles at the same time? If you don't know I will ask the DYK people. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:58, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

You would review. Limorina is the author. If there are issues in the article itself (which I don’t think there are) then Limorina will have to address them. We don’t need Limorina’s approval to promote a hook penned by another user given that plenty of time has gone by with no engagement on Limorina’s part and it’s time to clear the backlog. All we need is a reviewer to do a standard DYK review. As the author of the alt hook that is useable, I can’t be that reviewer. I’m also not the author and neither are you. The other option would be to get a third party to review if you want to shepherd this from the editor side if issues do crop up and the article needs editing. Best. 4meter4 (talk) 15:57, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes I don't understand how I can be a reviewer if Limorina is not available to respond to my review comments, so I will write on the DYK that I am now taking the editor role. Chidgk1 (talk) 12:10, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Edit to Geothermal energy

Hi! In your recent edit to Geothermal Energy, you added the statement that a few plants emit more CO₂ than gas-fired plants. I have skimmed the source you provided but have not been able to find any similar statement in that paper. Can you clarify where this statement is made in the paper, and perhaps provide a page number in the reference? Thanks! CodeTalker (talk) 19:16, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Oops thanks - had added wrong cite - corrected - I expect you know gas averages about 500 g/kWh Chidgk1 (talk) 19:48, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Great, thanks! CodeTalker (talk) 20:05, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

World energy supply and consumption

There's a problem with the notes on the above article. They are failing to display. It's because they are derived from the material transcluded from Bioenergy. I don't know how to fix this.— Diannaa (talk) 14:38, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I have now deleted those sentences from Bioenergy because they say "current" and "today" but the cites are from 2017. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:53, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Replacing oil, natural gas, and coal with green energy

When working with energy, there are two things. The original amount of energy and the amount of electricity that you get when you go to generate electricity. The original energy is often in the form of heat that you get when you burn the fuel. If you burn oil, coal, or natural gas; then you get heat. This is in units of exajoules (EJ). Then, if you push that heat into a turbine, you get approximately 65% lost and 35% gets converted to electricity. For example, with nuclear, 1 gigawatt thermal energy reactor is associated with 350 megawatts electrical energy. The world energy consumption is 583 EU/yr. this is heat energy. If you convert this to electrical, you would get 35% of that in electrical form, typically. This is typically in units of terawatt hours. You can see how many terawatt hours are produced by hoover dam or London array (e.g. in 2019 hoover dam). Then calculate how many of these one needs to replace oil, natural gas, and coal. This is important since it gives one an idea of how much energy is in oil, natural gas, and coal; worldwide. And gives one an idea of what a plan to decarbonize needs to deal with. Decarbonization efforts are small relative to problem size. That is why carbon emissions keep going up. If you build 13k hoover dams, you would generate the same energy that we get from all of oil, natural gas, and coal; in total. This is not possible, because there are not enough land opportunities like hoover dam. Yet gives one a sense of the size of the problem. Same with wind. The London array is in 20m depth water. If you look at a water depth map, one will see there are not enough locations that would support 22k of these worldwide. Wind, solar, and hydro are resource constrained. They get harder as one builds since one builds at easiest locations first. one gets pushed toward nuclear. many people, including bill gates, believes we cannot decarbonize without significant nuclear; due to resource constraints. I am a power engineer, and deal w/ this every day. Perhaps we can find some text that you consider satisfactory? Perhaps something that explains this better?

Hello DecarbonizationEngineer (I don't know why posts on my talk page are not autosigned so please could you finish with the 4 tilde ~ characters) Nice to hear from an expert, which I am not. Thanks for that detailed explanation. I live in Turkey and I generally like to do my difficult thinking about articles related to decarbonization of energy in Turkey. Therefore I will try to pick your brains by sending you a tricky question or 2 from a couple of those articles. On the global articles I usually try and relax by making easy and obvious changes. Perhaps I misunderstood something with the change I made you are discussing above. I will copy your text to the talk page of that article and reply there so others can easily join in if they wish.
