please advise me if you revert RjwilmsiBot
Hi, with reference to this revert, I apologise for my bot's error and am happy for you to revert such edits, but please do let me know so that I can prevent it happening again. Thanks Rjwilmsi  19:26, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, Rjwilmsi. I think your bot is doing excellent work and it had fixed a number of references I added before learning this specific formatting issue. As of this specific case, I think this is quite exceptional and probably there are only few similar case in whole Wikipedia. Therefore I did not want to make a big noise about this and just reverted it. And please accept my apologies for not notifying you.Beagel (talk) 19:41, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

your query about date template
At Rich Farmbrough's page, you asked about the date template. It doesn't actually format dates, does it, except for something to do with ISO dates. Is that why you are interested in using it? Tony  (talk)  12:06, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response. Actually, it formats dates according to the template documentation. However, I understand that the issue of formatting dates is still controversial and there is no consensus about doing this. Therefore, please consider may question just as an idea, which was a little bit premature. Beagel (talk) 16:48, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Global strategic petroleum reserves
Curious why you took out the categories for this page. I would think coverage of SPRs for each country would fall under a basic category of "Energy for [Blank]". Publicus 18:50, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think that listing global articles under individual countries categories is the usual practice even if they have country-specific sections, and 34 country-specific categories for one article seems too much. There is no country categories, e.g. on the Nuclear energy policy or List of countries by natural gas production. Beagel (talk) 19:12, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool sounds good. I'll be more careful in my categorizing. Thanks Publicus 21:34, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Power Station article
Hello Beagel. I just edited the "Typical power output" section in the Power Station article. This section had the "This section requires expansion" tag. My first "major" edit and first time I have had to add a new reference to an existing article etc. If you have time, maybe take a look and make sure I have not done anything egregious. Any advice welcome. I made a bit of a mess of the edit to the discussion page there because I added my summary into the wrong section initially. Not sure if its considered taboo to delete material from discussion, but I did, so I could put it back in the right place. Thx. Turbine1 (talk) 04:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Your edits look fine for me. Concerning the removal of text from the talk page, in general this is not accepted. However, there are exceptions like removing vandalism or spam, which was exactly the text you removed. So, I don't see any problem here. Beagel (talk) 17:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gladstone LNG
A tag has been placed on Gladstone LNG, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 01:39, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:GLNG
I had moved Gladstone LNG to GLNG, and then I saw the move request discussion at the above location.

When I first tried to look at the article's talk page, I got an error - which I assumed was because the page did not exist (I've been getting some errors like this from Wikipedia pages recently, I think it's a WMF server issue)

It wasn't until afterwards that I saw the conversation. I have explained my rationale on the talk page, and I hope that you are OK with it - I did not mean to ignore your contribution to the discussion, and if the error had not occurred, I would have left a similar message as part of the discussion and see what people thought, rather than just going ahead and performing the move!

I thought that I should apologise to you for what might appear to be rudeness, which was in fact a simple mistake on my part - I'm sorry.

GeoGroupTemplate
Hi Beagel. With regard to this edit, it is also said that it can be placed on top ("...or inside a section with a list or table of features...", here). I wouldnt really mind keeping it the way it is, but the new section is empty except for the template, making it look a little odd. I will now put the template back up. But of course, feel free to revert if its still a wrong move. Kind regards. Rehman(+) 13:23, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Estonian journals category
Hi, as most academic journals nowadays are mainly international and journals that clearly can be assigned to one nationality are becoming the excezption rather than the rule, we are retiring the "journals by country" categories.

Speedy deletion nomination of Energinet.dk
A tag has been placed on Energinet.dk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

 * De nada. I knew you could fix it right quick, but also saw that you'd created it and so weren't supposed to remove the speedy tag.

Repeated POV-pushing
Hi, you seem to be very concerned in a number of oil and gas issues - one can be amazed by the time you actually spend on these issues; while I usually appreciate collaboration with editors who have this kind of concern, I am sorry to realize you are doing POV-pushing on most of the articles you are editing. Why is that ? Are you being paid by an oil company ? What are your motivations ? Rgds--Environnement2100 (talk) 12:46, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Please give concrete examples which edits done by me you consider POV pushing. Concrete articles and concrete edits, please. I am always ready to discuss all edits I have made and I would apology for every edits I made which is not in line with Wikipedia policies. And if you still think that there is something wrong with my edits or with my behavior you are always welcome to use tools like WP:3O, WP:EQ or WP:RfC. However, at the same time making baseless accusations is considered disruptive and in some cases even as a personal attack and harassment. I am really tired of your baseless accusations you are repeating over a number of talk pages, so please provide your evidences or stop this name calling. Thank you.

Please do not remove sourced information, as you just did on this occasion. You are again in a case of deleting information you do not like.--Environnement2100 (talk) 23:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I explained, why I removed the UK from the list. Once more, in 2007 there was no import from Russia, import started in 2008. However, unfortunately I was able to find comprehensive and reliable source only for 2007, not for 2008. As there was no import in 2007, I don't see any mean to add the UK with 0% and not to add all other EU member states (Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus) with no Russian gas import in 2007. Picking up one specific country and refusing to add others (according to your edit summary) definitely needs explanation at the article talk page. Without explanation I may contradict the WP:NPOV.  As you see, it has nothing to do what I like or dislike, it is about WP:NPOV.
 * One more thing. Per [this edit] you continue accusing me in POV pushing. Unfortunately, notwithstanding my previous request you still did not provide any explanation what is my POV contradicting WP:NPOV. Once more, I kindly ask you to provide explanation of your accusations; otherwise I have to consider these accusations to be personal attacks. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 05:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

BP Leases
Hi Beagel,

The BP people cat and section of the template contains people that no longer work for BP or who are actually dead. I don't think including those people misleads readers since their current employer (or date of death) is in the article once you click on it.

Similarly, I think the vessels should stay because:
 * 1. The template is a navigation aid to more easily find articles likely to be of interest to readers of an article; basically a sophisticated "See also" section. The exact status of each subject is covered in the article.  Especially right now, readers of BP would be likely to be interested in these articles.
 * 2. The business world has evolved away from outright ownership. Oil companies used to own their office buildings, tankers, oil fields and equipment.  To free up capital, they now lease them but the amount of control has not diminished.  Indeed, BP got blasted for hinting it wasn't calling all the shots on Deepwater Horizon.

But, if the consensus goes against me, so be it. I don't see a clear consensus in the template discussion though. The only other editor to comment so far seems to agree with you in one sentence to not include and then disagree by suggesting a separate section in the next. That second part was why I created the BP vessels cat, although nearly all those article were already in the more broad BP cat before I touched them.

So basically, I would suggest letting more people weigh in. I know that, like me, you also edit oil company articles when there's not a breaking story. If you want to solicit opinions from the Energy WikiProject, that might bring in some people fmailiar with this type of cat/template.RevelationDirect (talk) 23:59, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Dams in China
Beagel, I noticed your category reverts and have a question. In most countries, including the U.S., a dam article usually has a category for it as a dam and if it has a power station, a power station category, like the Hartwell Dam in SC/GA. Some hydroelectric power stations, although rarely, don't have an associated dam like the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Stations in Canada. The dam and its power plant are often two separate facilities and I am familiar with the categorizing both. Is there a stated policy that China articles are following and not the majority of other articles I have worked on? --NortyNort (talk) 19:53, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Almost all hydroelectric power stations have also dam (except pumping storage power stations). Therefore, categories "hydroelectric power stations in X" are subcategories for "power stations in X" and "dams in X" and "dams in X" is a parent category for "hydroelectric power stations in X". E.g. "Category:Hydroelectric power stations in China" is a subcategory for "Category:Dams in China" and "Category:Dams in China" is a parent category for "Category:Hydroelectric power stations in China". There is a general rule that that pages are not placed in both a category and its subcategory. Therefore, hydroelectric dams belong to hydroelectric power station category which is a subcategory of the dams category, and do not belong to the parent category. I fully agree that there is a large overlapping of dams and hydroelectric power station categories and these articles need a proper categorization. Beagel (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder if this issue is may be a bit more complicated. In India for instance, there are several, rather big dams that are not for hydroelectric use, so they do not have a hydroelectrical powerstation. Even if they might get one in the future, their categorization today would not fit a parenthood for the hydroelectric powerstation-category. Therefore, in the Norwegian Wikipedia, we generally treat dams and hydro-stations as two distinct phenomena, which they also are. To further complicate, one dam can support several hydro-stations (as in a Bosnia-Croatia case), and several dams can support one station (as in Japan cases). So there is not a general 1:1 relationship in dams vs hydro-stations. Is it not easier to simply categorize them in two different families of categories, dams and hydro-stations distinct? Kind regards, Bjoertvedt (talk) 23:46, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood my reply. There are still two different categories while 'Hydroelectric power stations in country X' is a subcategory of the 'Dams in country X'.  It is clear that if there is no power station related to the dam, it can't be categorized in the 'Hydroelectric power stations in country X' series, but in the 'Dams in country X'. I also agree that these cases you mentioned need case-by-case approach and in some cases there could be both both categories applied. My previous post was about dams which are integral part of the hydroelectric power stations and which do not have any other purposes than production of hydroelectricity.Beagel (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand! But I still wouldn't put category Hydrostations as a subcategory under catagory Dams, simply because that is not wehere all readers would expect to find them. The last twenty years have seen an ever increasing number of hydrostations without dams, or hydrostations that are placed many miles from their dam. For this and other reasons, we have chosen not to treat Hydrostations as subcategory to Dams on the Norwegian Wikipedia. Good luck with your debates and keep up your good work! Bjoertvedt (talk) 18:51, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I see this discussion is still here. I was just in Category:Dams in China and it is mostly filled with hydroelectric power station sub-cats. Out of the roughly 30 articles in the sub-cats, only two have "power station" in their name. To put the rest of the articles with "Dam" in their name within those categories makes no sense. As pointed above, if a reader is looking for dams, they may not look in the hydroelectric power station cats. The way it is now defeats the purpose of having categories for easy navigation. I think articles with "power station" in their name that are hydroelectric belong in those categories. If the article has "dam" in its name and has a hydroelectric power station, then it still belongs in the Dams category. To properly categorize both, we may be forced with some sort of redundancy, i.e. placing each dam in both categories. One of the many examples in Canada is the Jordan River Dam which is in both categories. I think the redundancy is justified because you have an article that covers two structures.--NortyNort (Holla) 09:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. I haven't completely read the above discussion, so I don't know if it would help in any way, but some time back, and I discussed about the categorizations of hydroelectric-related articles here. Hope it helps or trigger any ideas in any way :) Kind regards to both. Rehman(+) 13:31, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Rehman. Like you guys pointed out, some hydroelectric power stations don't have dams and some dams don't have hydroelectric power stations. I think the best option is category redundancy. This problem seems to be inherent and also somewhat unique.--NortyNort (Holla) 14:24, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Resources in Norwegian
Hi Beagel. For your information, there are now some lists of power plants in the Norwegian Wikipedia. The lists contain some 5.000 power plants. Even though the lists are in norwegian language, I presume it might be of great interest to you and other uers as a reference guide to find and describe power plants. The lists are:
 * no:Liste over verdens største olje- og gasskraftverk (oil ang gas-fired, list very complete)
 * no:Liste over verdens største kullkraftverk (coal fired, list very complete, maybe except China)
 * no:Liste over verdens største kjernekraftverk (nuclear, list almost totally complete)
 * no:Liste over verdens største vannkraftverk (hydro power, list not totally complete)

All in all, we have articles on approx. 2.700 international power stations, and some 2.000 Norwegian ones.

I reinstated these caregories, which are key INOGATE objectives; in fact INOGATE can claim to be a major animator of these in the countrioes where it operates, so I be;leive the categories are clearly justified. Best regards, Smerus (talk) 12:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

most of the the data in the table, are not really relatable to the infobox. i spent some time on it and the article the other day, but lost all the changes before i managed to save it. i'll give it another go later. cheers!

False positive report
The other day you submitted a false positive report because you found yourself unable to edit someone's talk page. If you have not already seen, it was due to an accident in the code of a particular edit filter which was quickly fixed by the MediaWiki software itself. The code has been reverted to the last good version and this should not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however; if people hadn't reported it we wouldn't have known there was a problem. I have removed the false positive reports as I felt it was easier to just go to the people who submitted them directly.  — Soap  —  23:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi B, I wonder if you would care to offer an opinion at Articles for deletion/Diamond Mountain University and Talk:Photovoltaic array. Thanks. Johnfos (talk) 20:55, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I already saw the merger proposal of merger proposal of Photovoltaics and Photovoltaic array and I already planned to comment this proposal. Still going through different articles in this field to create a better overview of the overall articles' tree which is needed. Concerning the AfD notice, I see a problem with notability, but I am not sure if it could be possible to fix or not. Still thinking. Beagel (talk) 10:15, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

CfD closes
Just a comment since you don't do closes. Some of the closers want to see more then one opinion before they close a discussion. I try to look at ones on the last day to see if I can offer an opinion on the topic if no one else has. Sometimes I can't for various reasons. It would be nice if one or two others could also look these over and offer an opinion, even if it does not agree with what was proposed. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the notice. Will try to look although I can't promise to do this on very regular bases. Beagel (talk) 16:15, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Dropping Categories in Electric Car
Hi. Why did you drop the categories in the Electric Car article? The categories you dropped seemed entirely appropriate. Please respond on the article's talk page. Ebikeguy (talk) 17:10, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Electric car is categorized in the Category:Electric cars, which is a subcategory of Category:Electric vehicles and Category:Green automobiles. Category:Green automobiles is a subcategory of Category:Green vehicles. Category:Green vehicles is a subcategory of Category:Sustainable transport, which is a subcategory of Category:Sustainable technologies. Per WP:CAT you don't include parent categories if more precise subcategory exists. Beagel (talk) 17:20, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation!  Ebikeguy (talk) 18:29, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Volumetric Production Payment - VPP listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Volumetric Production Payment - VPP. Since you had some involvement with the Volumetric Production Payment - VPP redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Deleting Mac's redirects
Hi. Bridgeplayer's oppose !vote at the Rf A d for Fossil fuel drilling makes it less likely that the deletion will carry, imo. He tends to dominate the discussion at RfA and is a trusted voice. As I stated at the Rfa, I feel strongly that we should WP:DENY Mac/Hamiltha the satisfaction of getting any of his edits through, for to do so if reinforcement to come back and resume socking. I've speedied a number Hamiltha's other redirects accordingly. None have been deleted yet -- just his Category:Television sets. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, the same admin who just !voted to keep at the Rfd was the one who processed all my other G5 speedies for Hamiltha's other redirects, most of which could be kept for similar reasons. I think it underscores my point about how once a redirect is brought to Rfd, well meaning editors such as Bridgeplayer are likely going to find a reason to keep: that's what generally happens there. Speedy deletion is the best course for any of Mac's future redirects, per WP:DENY, as I am sure he will be back and will be creating more of them, best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:57, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Opinion on page scope
Hello Beagel, would you care to have an opinion on Talk:List_of_offshore_wind_farms ? Talk is also at Talk:List_of_offshore_wind_farms. Only a few users have voiced opinions, so consensus is thin. TGCP (talk) 08:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:Infobox power station
Yea, I just restored an old version. Left a note since the edit history and merge still need fixing. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:54, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Consensus or not, this is too widely used to be left broken. I don't have the skill to step in and fix the merging.  So at least the error messages are gone and the old users of the infobox will still work.  Someone else will need to do the merge and cleanup the edit history.

Power stations in India
Mr Beagel, Thanks for reverting the catagory. i agree that u droped the catagory coal fired power plant in the page list of power stations in india. I understand the reason. but what is the need to drop the same catagory in each and every individual power plant? .for example if some body wants to know the list of power plants in india while visiting the rajghat power station, what they will do? please justify. Amarnath aravabhoomi (talk) 18:54, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


 * What you mean by "wants to know the list of power plants in india "? However, I think your question was about dropping category:Coal-fired power stations in India from the Rajghat Power Station. This article included Category:Coal-fired power stations in NCT Delhi, Category:Coal-fired power stations in India and Category:Electricity in India. The most specific subcategory is Category:Coal-fired power stations in NCT Delhi, which is the subcategory of Category:Coal-fired power stations in India. At the same time Category:Electricity in India is a parent category for all power stations in INdia. Per WP:CAT we usually don't include parent categories if more specific subcategory exists.

Sinan disambiguation
Hi, I notice that you just reinstated an old disambiguation page for Sinan, replacing an improved version. Could I ask why? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 10:36, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. I did not look the whole Sinan article and as it has long introduction about the man name It did not see the disambiguate meanings afterward. I don't think it is a good idea to start disambiguate pages as articles. Maybe Sinan should be just an article about the name and Sinan (disambiguation) should be pure list of disambiguate pages named Sinan? Beagel (talk) 10:57, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've shortened the introduction a lot. Will that do? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 11:44, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Merger
Hi Beagel. I have changed my mind about the merger, please share your views here. Thanks! Rehman(+) 13:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi again. The discussions on the implementation of Infobox power station (temp) has sort of stalled. If you get the time, please see my comment to, and let me know if you think the basic merge support is good enough. Please comment at the template talk. Thanks. Kind regards. Rehman(+) 07:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Infobox oil refinery
I too noticed that the documentation is out of sync with the actual template. Let me know if you want any help fixing this issue. For example, do we want to support both lat/lon and coordinates, or, say go with the formats supported by templates like Infobox building? Also, it looks like the map feature is completely broken, since Infobox doesn't have an image3 option. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 05:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Looking to get your insight
'Afternoon, Beagel, having come across your contributions to a range of Wikiproject Energy articles, I was hoping that you may be able to weigh in on a revision I've proposed here(on the article's talk page) to the opening paragraph of this article's Members and history section. Being one of the less-frequented articles, this post has not received any response as of yet.

In the interest of obtaining adequate consensus before moving forward, might you be able to take a peek and add your two cents? Cheers, Carthan (talk) 17:28, 20 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I see you already made these changes. I think that these changes are adequate and there is no objection from other editors. Beagel (talk) 12:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Turbine manufacturer
Hi, Beagel. There is a tiny issue with using  from the wind farm infobox. As we normally fill more than one field in the "turbine information" section, it'll look ok. But as we use only  (for use in other infoboxes), it displays a separate header just for that field, which is a bit odd. What we could do is, as I said before, create new fields for each. That wouldn't be a problem as we are already using subclasses, and we have plenty of more room to add more fields, if necessary. Is it ok if I create separated fields?  Reh  man 08:58, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * That's fine with me. Just tried not to overload the template code. Beagel (talk) 17:42, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, we have a long way before it gets overloaded ;) Kind regards.  Reh  man 01:33, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Beagel, you can see a minor comment at File talk:Chevron Oil Shale Project.PNG. For a viewer to more easily distinguish them, I plan to make the "Groundwater and Temperature Monitoring" pipes a light blue shade, the "Production Well" pipes a light yellow shade, and leave the "Injection Well" pipe as is.  If you have any objections, let me know.  H Padleckas (talk) 11:39, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Shale oil extraction FAC
I'm out of the house for a few hours, but will return to the article tonight or tomorrow. One thing I wondered about but haven't looked at in enough detail to comment on: the article is not very long, so could more specific information be added on some of the processes that are only mentioned without being described in detail? E.g. Hom Tov isn't mentioned except in the table. More later -- Mike Christie (talk) 13:48, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually the size of this articles was mentioned several times during previous stages of editing this article. Therefore, instead of describing separate technologies (with some exemptions of the most significant or impart processes) it was decided that this article should try to provide common features of different technology groups. As a result, most of the single-technology related information was moved to the specific technology articles. Almost all technologies listed in the table have their own article or are described in the related companies' articles, and are accessible via wikilinks. Concerning Hom Tov, this technology had a lot of publicity some years ago. However, its technical details were never made publicly available except of the fact it uses waste bitumen to catalyze the extraction process. As of today, it seems that this technology is more likely hype than a real existing technology. Beagel (talk) 15:13, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's certainly not a long article by FA standards as it stands, but if that's a consensus decision of current editors I'm OK with it. Mike Christie (talk) 13:17, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * After my recent edits, the article is now about 72000 bytes long. H Padleckas (talk) 22:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I tried to edit the page Featured article candidates to indicate that I support making Shale oil extraction a Featured Article, but it seems my edit was not made to this page, but a similar page called Featured article candidates/Shale oil extraction/archive1. Anyway, you can see a few edits I made by looking at the article History, and what few remarks I made on its Talk Page. H Padleckas (talk) 22:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Oil-shale power stations
Hi Beagel. I noticed you are quite active on the oil shale article, and also brought it up to FA. Just wondering if you could help update this section?  Reh  man 13:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * There is not so much to add. There are some test/pilot project in China, but it is almost impossible to find any reliable data about these. This source is the best one I was able to find. In addition, there is a 9.9 MW unit at the Dotternhausen Rohrbach Zement factory, which produces electricity as byproduct. The only significant plan for the building of oil shale power station is in Jordan (Jordan oil shale power station); however this project is still in the planning stage. Also Morocco is looking for a oil shale-fired power plant, but this is just an idea at the moment. Beagel (talk) 19:47, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I guess filling in Dotternhausen for now would do. :) Kind regards.  Reh  man 09:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

I won't userfy it, otherwise that defeats the point of G5 deletion (in my view) because the original banned author would then still get credit for the resulting reworked article.
