User talk:Americasroof/List of renewable energy manufacturers

The plan is a go-to list to help readers find the players in green tech (related to renewable energy). The idea is to be a little selective and have about 1000 companies, with brief descriptions and links. Renewable energy is not all of green tech, so I guess we need to avoid listing companies that are just into energy efficiency. Energy storage, however, is directly linked. I'm trying this again after a few years, now that Wikipedia has evolved into having a lot of lists. These are exciting companies, so it would be good to have a list of them all in one place. The article needs a lot of work. Anthony717 (talk) 00:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Anthony, I admire your enthusiasm, but there are some problems with what you are trying to do here. If you wish to discuss this just add a note here and I will reply... Johnfos (talk) 00:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This looks like a list that belongs on DMOZ, not on Wikipedia. Per WP:SALAT and WP:NOTDIR, this list looks unsuitable and should be moved off-site and/or deleted.--E8 (talk) 02:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Part of the point of being on Wikipedia is so that people share the effort of improving the article. There is a lot of interest in the topic, and everything in renewable energy depends on the companies ( and gov's and uni's) that are developing the technology. My feeling is whole battle against lists ended in the last year or so. There are now ten of thousands of "Lists of this" and "Lists of that" in Wikipedia. And the difference between a list or a directory is just semantic. Anthony717 (talk) 16:31, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
