Talk:Willow project

the word “controversial”

 * Shouldn’t the opening exclude the word “controversial”? The mention of a subject’s controversy usually goes in the topic’s body. Clyburn209 (talk) 01:43, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Clyburn209, I saw this term in most news reports, so I took it. It is definitely much more controversial than other Alaska oilfields, if you check them out. It even divides the closest village Nuiqsut, Alaska mayor vs village corp! though not Alaskan lawmakers...--Wuerzele (talk) 02:34, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

GPS coordinates, maps?
Can someone help find the GPS coordinates and insert them into the infobox, please?

While the BLM ROD has wonderful maps, like Beaufort Sea withdrawal area or Lease area none of them can be used in the article unfortunately. Wuerzele (talk) 02:40, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

BLM
The wording of BLM has multiple meanings, please specify 'Bureau of Land Management'. 168.8.211.62 (talk) 13:43, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree. The term Bureau of Land Management has been explained in lede and body.--Wuerzele (talk) 16:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Willow project → Willow Project – "Willow Project" appears to be a proper noun in this instance, and to follow the article's formatting, "Project" should be capitalized as well. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 20:08, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * XtraJovial, I have replied to you on teh move page, but summarize here:The Willow project page can be found, no matter how it is spelled. Last I looked 42K people looked at it. Someone even made a completely unnecessary re-direct for Willow. I thought about how to write this before starting this page. I used the then prevailing form (not capitalized). Even up to this day major news sources use it that way-see the sections Further reading or References.
 * There are much more important issues to improve on the page, new sections on Politics and Tribal issues for example? (see my requests map, getting the darn flags off the article etc) I think the capital P is such an unimportant side issue, its not worth opening up a case.--Wuerzele (talk) 17:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose: This seems like a descriptive title rather than a proper name. When the sources are mixed (as described by Wuerzele), Wikipedia uses lowercase. Several sources also use different phrases with extra words to refer to the project, such as "Willow oil drilling project" or "Willow oil project" or just "Willow", which seems to indicate that this topic does not have a clear proper name. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:04, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I feel your proposal is much better, honestly. With that in mind, all instances of "Willow Project" in the infobox, body, etc. should be reformatted to reflect that ("Willow Project" → "Willow project"). XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 14:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

copy edit tag
what needs to be fixed here ? Will user:Cpotisch, the person that tagged the page explain or, better: help! in resolving this? Wuerzele (talk) 17:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I removed flag for copy edit, since editor placing flag has not responded, what the issues are. I see none.--Wuerzele (talk) 02:19, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Missing article content assessment
The article has not been assessed, really, still says Start class. It certainly meets Content assessment/B-Class criteria and thus I will change it to B class. One could argue it meets GA-status. Wuerzele (talk) 12:26, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
