Talk:Middle distillate

Okay this article is short because middle distillate is a collective term used when referring to kero or diesel. It does not go beyond a refinery. I found a link to the term on Brent Crude page. Really, i think it'd be better if Wiki had an article called Petroleum distillation and with 'middle distillate' made a link to some section there. Of course there are more things to say about subj but i think its better to redirect eager ones to quite consistent kerosene or diesel pages. As i said before, who wants more ?

Do you feel up to adding a short paragraph on petroleum distillation to the petroleum article? This could then redirect there? R OGER  TALK 06:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I do not agree to that,Roger. Try yourself to open that page Brent Crude and click on middle distillate. What happens? Do you get the idea of what middle distillate is then right away? I think no. I think that article is better left as it was because the term involved is a collective one - it is related to crude oil (since 'middle distillates' are **usually** meant as crude oil fractions), to refineries (they're produced there) and to (fractional) distillation. So i intended that article to be a quick overview of the term. What's wrong? You'd rather not get Wiki cluttered with small articles? Arinnian 09:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Revert it then. Your opinion is as valid as mine:))) It's so brief (and completely unsourced) that it's effectively just a dictionary definition and this place is supposed to be for articles. R OGER   TALK 09:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I see it. It is a definition actualy, so i added its description to Oil refinery article. What do you think? Arinnian 10:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You obviously know much more about this than I so I'll happily defer to you. :) R OGER   TALK 10:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your cooperation (like an idiom for me) ;-). My first article... That's all i think. Now i'll 'watch' for Oil refinery. Arinnian 10:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
