Talk:List of aluminium smelters

Improving the format
There are some excellent examples in category Category:Lists of coordinates. This page is now listed there through some magic. We can use these examples to improve the output from the kml template. Qwerty310 01:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Named coordinates
The coord template now processes a parameter "name=" which causes some software to label the points with that name. An addition such as "|name=Smith smelter" will label that point instead of just labeling it as "112". (SEWilco 15:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC))

 * This is the RUSAL Bratsk smelter. It has been fixed. Billingd (talk) 13:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * The coordinates need the following fixes: * Write here the marked location for this site is close but inaccurate. it shows the taweelah power station, not the smelter site.  The correct location should be  24°47'49.51"N 54°42'53.71"E Up until a month ago the Google earth data was not updated so anyone searching for the site would have seen only virgin desert where the smelter was to be located.  Now the actual site is becoming clearer (although still 9 month old images). 116.212.193.251 (talk) 13:10, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks. Billingd (talk) 13:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * The coordinates need the following fixes: 56°7′50″N 101°27′8″E 213.167.152.244 (talk) 14:46, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * This is Bratsk again. Fixed now.  Thanks for pointing it out.  Billingd (talk) 13:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

← None of the above make much sense, without the name of the plant concerned, please be more specific. @ Andy Mabbett (User: Pigsonthewing ); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 14:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

86.163.106.68 (talk) 10:56, 31 December 2009 (UTC) The coordinates place one in the North Sea. Apologies I do not know the correct placement

I didn't find a smelter in the North Sea, but instead in the northern Atlantic Ocean. It was the Montenegro smelter, with the E-W direction switched. It's correct, now. BrainMarble (talk) 00:04, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Jenel Ali plant is very big
The list claims that the Jebel Ali plant in the united arab emirates has an outpuy more than one thousand times larger than the second largest plant on the list. This can't possibly be true, can it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.178.122.132 (talk) 16:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. It was in tonnes per annum, not kilotonnes per annum.  Fixed. Billingd (talk) 13:16, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Missing wikilinks
This list is missing a lot of wikilinks to the specific articles, or at least the nearest ones (such as city, island etc.). I'll start by adding a few here which can be added when someone feels like it : TGCP (talk) 15:38, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Puerto Madryn - no alu content
 * Boyne Smelters
 * Tomago aluminium smelter
 * Bell Bay aluminium smelter
 * Kurri Kurri aluminium smelter
 * Point Henry smelter
 * Portland aluminium smelter
 * Economy of Ganja - vague
 * Aluminium Bahrain

Capacity: tons per year? of what?
Could someone add a sentence to top of this article explaining what the capacity column means? Is that tons of input bauxite? or alumina? Or tons of the output aluminum? Noleander (talk) 18:59, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Have added clarification on capacity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qwertytam (talk • contribs) 20:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
