Talk:Nokomis 3

Citation formatting
Hello, I am unsure what is going on with the formatting that is preventing the first citation from wrapping properly. If you figure it out please let me know. --CardboardWolf (talk) 18:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)CardboardWolf

I am still unsure about how NOKOMIS 3 works... more info?

Why?
Hi, I removed the link from oil spill as it had no place there. There are LOTS of dispersants. See Discussion page.

This article needs some serious work or it will likely be nominated for speedy deletion. It happened to me with Dispersit and I'm hoping to spare you the pain. The first sentence has to go: reads like spam. More seriously, no credible third-party citations.

Google news result for "Nokomis 3" shows only baseball scores: Nokomis 3 Google search for Nokomis 3 shows only manufacturer, distributor, and regulatory data: http://www.google.com/search?q=nokomis+3&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

This article is not up to standards: take a look at Corexit for a model article on a significant dispersant and also at Dispersit for another water-soluble dispersant that is at least newsworthy enough to deserve the time and effort it takes to create an article. I know: Dispersit was deleted at first because "the references are mainly directory entries, not non-trivial sources primarily about the product" -- after I fixed that issue with NYT citation, no problem. If you can show a third-party source referencing use of this dispersant and get article in line with the other two via structure and categories, I think it has a chance.

Good luck and let me know if I can help. Paulscrawl (talk) 13:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hint: make the tie-in with the BP rejection of this alternative to Corexit: lots of sources if you search, and you can copy some authoritative refs from Deepwater Horizon oil spill section on dispersants. Here's one I just found that should keep this article alive while you work it up.

"BP asserted in its letter that only 5 products in the list of dispersants in the national oil spill response plan meet the criteria given by the EPA. These are: Sea Brat #4, Nokomis 3-F4, Nokomis 3-AA, Mare Clean 200 and Neos AB3000." http://leanweb.org/news/latest/bp-chooses-not-to-change-dispersants-despite-epa-directive.html

 * also suggested: redirects from Nokomis 3-F4 and Nokomis 3-AA, as these may be very likely searchable and linkable terms, avoiding the purely baseball score search results (as of 5-30-2010) of Google search for Nokomis 3 -- Paulscrawl (talk) 00:38, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
