Ivanpah natural gas use
Great work in keeping the Production section updated! I'm a little concerned, however, about the "natural gas used" data in that section of the Ivanpah entry. As footnoted, the natural gas usage data comes from the EIA's Electricity Browser. The problem is, that data is woefully incomplete. For instance, for all three units, there is no entry for natural gas for Feb 2015 through July 2015. Obviously the plant did not suddenly begin to produce power without some natural gas; clearly this is missing data. I fear that presenting annual totals with gaping holes like this in the data gives an inaccurate impression of the plant's gas usage. Thoughts? Napapjd (talk) 22:09, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I have no idea how to fix that if the IEA figures are wrong or slow to update unless there is a better source. My intention is to at least to make it visible that Ivanpah does use gas.  Have they as part of testing stopped using gas in the morning during summer?  They were heavily criticized for using so much gas last year.Andynct (talk) 05:40, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Concerts @ Cape Town Stadium
Not sure why you're reverting deletions of unsourced info in the Cape Town Stadium page. You've done it multiple times, even after I've explained that adding back unsourced info is a clear violation of WP:VERIFY. In addition, the Passion Conference isn't even a concert, so even if you had a reliable source that verified its notability, it doesn't belong in the "Concerts" section. Pretty straightforward, I think. Rockypedia (talk) 16:20, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Two references prove the Passion event happened. The Facebook Event page corroborates it happened and that attendance was approximately 30000 from photos and organizers postings.  If a better reference can be found, sure replace it. Andynct (talk) 16:49, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I noticed you haven't addressed the problem that it wasn't a concert, and that "Passion" is not a band. Also, neither of those references is a WP:RS - not even close. If you can find significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that indicate the event's notability, feel free to create a new section for "Prayer Conferences" and add it there. Rockypedia (talk) 17:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If you had bothered to look at the video on the events page I referenced you would see that Passion is definitely a concert. A Christian concert. Andynct (talk) 19:12, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You still have the problem of not having any reliable secondary sources, and no indication of why the event is significant enough to include on the page in the first place. The first link is a primary source, and the second one is a Facebook page. Those need to be replaced by reliable secondaries or the section will be removed. Rockypedia (talk) 19:42, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * An event of 30000 is definitely a notable event at the stadium and both references support it. BTW Facebook can be used as a reference, although it is not recommended.  I notice you are not fussed about other unreferenced material on the page.  All your edits have been about removing the Passion concert.  You seem obsessed.  As an atheist I find you prejudice alarming and illuminating.  I have under protest created a separate section for the Passion event but it does feel like I'm bringing Apartheid back. It will be moved back to the concerts section if there are complaints or if somebody else moves it. Andynct (talk) 20:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Now you're just making things up. My first edit on the concerts section (that you blanket reverted) removed all the concerts that had no sources. The other unreferenced material on the page will have to be referenced or go as well. It has nothing to do with anything religious, and whether or not you're an atheist is completely immaterial.
 * Also, it may be your opinion that an event that draws 30,000 is a notable event, but there's two huge problems with that - #1, there's still no reliable secondary source that states there were 30,000 people there, or that the event even happened, because both sources you provided are primary sources. While they can (probably) be accepted to establish that an event did happen, a primary source cannot be used to establish that it was a notable event, for obvious reasons. If I put on my own Facebook page that my band's concert was significant and that it drew 30,000 people, obviously that isn't acceptable on Wikipedia as a WP:RS. #2, your opinion (or mine) is not the basis for which we include or don't include material - reliable secondary sources establish that. If you can't find any, then that material has to go, eventually, along with everything else that isn't reliably sourced. If you prefer, I can remove all the other stuff first and then circle back to the Passion event, if that will assuage your fears of some anti-Christian bias. Please remember to assume good faith in the future. Rockypedia (talk) 14:28, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the Cape Town correction
It was not my intention to remove that council seat figure, I was careless during the editing process. Thanks for restoring it. -- 80.217.141.69 (talk) 20:56, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Lots of good detail. Wonder if it shouldn't have its own page rather, especially as the new elections will be soon.Andynct (talk) 22:10, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
