Talk:Antarctic Technology Offshore Lagoon Laboratory

Comment
Uwe, what is the correct expansion of ATOLL: Laboratories (plural) or Laboratory (singular) at the end? When done, the article should be moved (using the "move"-tab) to the correct fully expanded name (currently, both redirect here). Lupo 19:41, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Generic Cleanup Proejct. I hope.
This article has been around for over 4.5 years and it has seemed to escape much actual evaluation or scrutiny. Worth note is that I'm not particularly doubting the notability of the topic (quite an interesting concept), but there has to be at least some kind of third-party evaluation and the like. Basis from works by one author having no links or verifiable proof of said writings is going to require at least confirmation of existence and I'll AGF on the contents past that. In short, the article reads like it was a homework assignment that was just cut apart in certain areas. One might argue this would be a POV problem, but since I honestly don't know enough about the topic it could well be okay in that regard. It can be looked at later, but if everything is reviewed anyway balance would be obtained in that process if nothing else. Probably going to start there to see what we "actually" have to work with. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 21:17, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

== there is a mention in the vita of the builder professor Waki Zoellner http://wakiart.de/biographisches.html also we had many newspaper articles on our servers when we made the article long time ago which are all gone now - I am retired - I was asked that time to write an article about the ATOLL by a WIKIPEDIAN. user:kils

The Story behind
In fact, this floating object was built in 1978 in the Hamburg district of Finkenwerder as a bathing pontoon, towed through Kiel Canal to Travemünde and used there for a year for bathing, sunbathing and having a drink. Then no more people came and a winter storm damaged the pontoon so that one component (the one with the pub, too bad) sank. The rest then came to Kiel, where the research described here was carried out. This was cheap, as the wreck could not be sold on eBay for 120,000 euros, nor for 20,000 euros. In the meantime, the wreck is lying in Hamburg's Moorfleet district, rotting away. Just a small addition to the famous and most notable Antarctic laboratory. --united we are strong, says Landkraft 18:49, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
