Oil shale extraction
Hi, Wim. I am planning to renominate the Oil shale extraction article for FAC. Of course, this article is not ready for renomination yet, but I am planning to concentrate on this in coming months. One problem you mentioned is the length of this article. I have done some trimming, but it still needs some work to be done. You have done an excellent work on improving this article and I hope you will have a time to assist to bring this article to the FA level. Thank you in advance.

 * Hi, Wim. I think that the Shale oil extraction article is almost ready for the FAC, except the (informal) peer review and the final copyediting. I am wonder if you still agree to take a critical look on this article before proceeding with the FAC renomination. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 15:27, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. As about the infobox, I don't think that adapting the Industrial park infobox would be the best solution. However, it seems that there is no infoboxes for industrial processes, so maybe we should create a taylor-made infobox for the shale oil extraction's article? Beagel (talk) 09:00, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, havind an infobox for all those industries and/or industrial processes seems a good idea. There definitely is a need for one. I searched for a wikiproject working on this topic, but failed to find one. Hence my dabbling with some similar ones, to see whether I could find useful fields for a new infobox. You any ideas?  Wim van Dorst  (talk)  21:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC).
 * I created an infobox template for industrial process (Template:Infobox industrial process). You are welcome to comment and improve it. It is used in the Shale oil extraction article. Beagel (talk) 11:41, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

GREAT!!! I like it. I tested it out on hydrogenation and Leblanc process, and it really looks good. Excellent work, Beagle!  Wim van Dorst  (talk)  22:35, 5 November 2009 (UTC).


 * Hi, Wim. I would like to ask your opinion if the Shale oil extraction article is ready for the FAC nomination or is there anything more what should be done? I also wonder if you would be around to assist during the FAC process. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 19:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Beagel, the article sure does look like ready for nomination. Go ahead. Give me the link when done, then I'll put it on the watchlist. And of course I'll comment and vote ;).  Wim van Dorst  (talk)  22:48, 10 January 2010 (UTC).

International Space Station
Hey there Wimvandorst - I was looking down the list of members at WP:GOCE, and you're listed there as being interested in science and engineering? I was wondering, therefore, if you wouldn't mind giving a thorough copyedit to International Space Station as, even after 3 FACs and 5 PRs (with one ongoing), we're still having considerable difficulty with our prose (as you can see from comments on the current PR page). We're still in a FA push, and would really like to see it pass, as the article content is sound. Please, be as bold as you like! :-D If you could help out we'd be very grateful, and if you could comment on the current PR page when you're done, that'd be great too. Many thanks in advance!

Copper(I) chloride
Hi Wim, and Happy New Year! I'm planning on using my break to work on some of our articles assessed as A-Class. I took a look at copper(I) chloride, despite my obvious COI, and I think that although it's not bad, it could do with some attention. I was wondering if you could take a look at the article and my comments, and give us your comments & improvements? I also contacted PC. Once a couple of us have made some improvements, I'll ask the wider project for comments. Cheers, Walkerma (talk) 07:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Shale oil extraction
Hi, Wim. I hope you are doing fine. It has been quite a long time since we last time discussed the FAC nomination of the Shale oil extraction article. Since then the article has been stable without any major changes. Therefore I think that this time it will be ready for the nomination. I would like to ask you to take a look and say your opinion about this. If there is any unsolved issues, please discuss this on the article's talk page. Otherwise, I will nominate it after few days. I also hope you will be around to keep your eye on the nomination process. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 17:39, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Capitalization of alpha tocopherol
Hi,

In this edit you moved alpha tocopherol to Alpha Tocopherol. I'm curious of the capitalization of "T". I've done a tiny bit of digging and can't find a mention of the capitalization being required. Is it because it's often expressed as the Greek character α, requiring the next letter to be a capital? If that's the case, I would think the MOS would require the page name to be lower case since the page name doesn't use the α. Thanks, WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 14:47, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi WLU, it is in the Manual of Style (chemistry)/Nomenclature.  Wim van Dorst  (talk)  23:12, 27 November 2010 (UTC).
 * Oy, trying to understand that makes my brain hurt. Thanks for the referral!  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 13:30, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

The Scout Association of Hong Kong is the overall Scouting organization in Hong Kong. After the first Scouting initiatives in 1909, the Hong Kong branch of The Boy Scout Association of the United Kingdom started in 1914 by registering the St. Joseph's College Scout Group, and was formally established in July 1915. The Hong Kong branch became an autonomous association and the 111th member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1977. In 2008, the association had 99,591 uniformed members, with approximately 2700 Scout groups in the sections Grasshopper, Cubs, Scouts, Venture and Rover Scouts, making it the largest uniformed youth organisation in Hong Kong. The headquarters at the Hong Kong Scout Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, host the administration, headed by the Hong Kong Chief Commissioner. The association runs campsites, including Gilwell Campsite, Tai Tam Scout Centre and Tung Tsz Scout Centre, as well as hostels and Scout Activity Centres. It annually organises the traditional Scout Rally, providing Scout competitions and activities. For specific anniversaries, themed Scout Jamborees have been organised. (more...)
