Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of wave power projects. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://archive.is/20120918102942/http://www.waterpowermagazine.com/story.asp?storyCode=2048366 to http://www.waterpowermagazine.com/story.asp?storyCode=2048366

Propose converting table to paragraphs with headings
The tabular format with significant sections of text is not particularly readable, especially on mobile devices. Many of these companies/projects are possibly not notable enough to warrant their own page; however, the information contained here is still useful, although arguably not in the current format. Therefore I am proposing to convert the table into a series of sections/subsection with a paragraph or two for each project/device/concept, and try to update this page with more recent information as I do so. One slight downside of this is loosing the ability to sort by location & technology type, however the former could be mitigated by grouping entries by country.

Thought/comments welcome, cheers, Drnoble (talk) 11:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Propose merging content from Energen Wave Power
Since Energen Wave Power has been flagged as not notable for 10 years, and needing further citations for 7 years I went looking to find further information, and struggled to find anything about this. I therefore propose merging the pertinent content into this page, which I am currently expanding and updating each project.

The second reference on the Energen page is a 2 line mention in a generic list (link dead but found on archive.org)

The only other source I could find was a 1 line mention in a 2019 review of wave energy companies, that listed the development stage as "closed".

==Merger discussion for Energen Wave Power== An article that you have been involved in editing&mdash;Energen Wave Power&mdash;has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Drnoble (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC) Drnoble (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC) Drnoble (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Keep I don't know how this constantly happens. An editor approaches an article and sees a question about sources, so let's find a way to make this article go away. We have a WP policy of WP:BEFORE, which means you should look. Lift a finger; use your editing skills to fix the problem. If you fail, then go ahead and cause a discussion.

I have added three more sources to this article. No, they aren't wonderful, but they add on to backing up what is said in the article. I didn't need to get off the first page of a Google search. The most basic search. Obviously nobody ahead of me even tried.

So no, I don't think this should be merged, which will result in the deletion of this content in favor of consolidation into a list.Trackinfo (talk) 08:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I did actually search for reputable sources, including through 20 years of the IEA Ocean Energy Systems annual reports, google web/scholar, etc. and only found cursory mentions in a couple articles, one of which you have added. Your third source is a circular reference back to this wikipedia page, so I didn't mention that. I have no problem if you feel strongly about keeping this page, it was just my understanding that it did not, and still does not, meet the criteria in WP:NOTE. Drnoble (talk) 18:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
