Talk:Greenside Mine

Article layout
The sections that will be used as this article develops, and the order they come in, will probably become clear with time - they may well vary from my initial plans. However, the research I've done so far suggests that the following areas will probably get a section each. Please feel free to contribute to any of these areas if you are able to do so, or suggest better ways of wording these section headings. Silence-is-infinite (talk) 09:51, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The ore deposit
 * Business issues (covering ownership, capitalisation, mineral rights, leases and management)
 * Underground workings
 * Ore preparation (crushing, separating the galena, smelting, etc.)
 * Employment issues (working conditions, pay, housing, etc.)
 * Transportation
 * Water and electrical power
 * Environmental issues
 * Ancillary activities (the mine had its own farm, and got involved in other things too)
 * Operation Orpheus
 * Access and work done since closure

Initial article drafting completed, covering the topics above. In the end environmental issues did not get a separate section but were included as they arose. Ancillary activities also did not get a separate section. Housing was included in employment issues, the road haulage company was included in transport, and the farm was not deemed important enough to warrant inclusion in an article which had already grown far longer than first anticipated. Set article category to B at this stage. Silence-is-infinite (talk) 12:37, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

References to Murphy
This article contains an enormous number of references to Murphy. This means they swamp the reference list, making it difficult to quickly see what other sources the article is referring to. It could also give an impression that the article is a summary of, or perhaps a guide to, Murphy’s book. I thought about putting the Murphy refs into their own reflist, thus retaining the level of detail without the swamping problem, but I can’t see how to do that with sfn templates – they don’t have a group parameter and I haven’t yet found a workaround. Another option would be to replace the page numbers with chapter numbers. That would lose a level of detail but could hopefully reduce the space taken by Murphy references ay the end. For example references 53-57 would all be to chapter 11. As this would be a major change to the article, it would need discussion before trying it out. --Northernhenge (talk) 20:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
