Solar Energy: Myths and Truths

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is an essay that presents a particular point of view. This is not an encyclopedia article and with a title like this, unless there is a book that exists with this title I doubt it will ever be one. JuJube (talk) 05:25, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * All my research time is trying to do is dispel the myriad of stereotypes and myths that surround renewable solar energy. How would you propose I shape this into a proper wikipedia article if this one does not suffice?


 * Also, our grand plan is to somehow merge a refined version of this page with the solar energy article, or any other article in the renewable energy category. Please let me know how I can properly contribute to wikipedia. Soggypenny (talk)


 * Comment While citing WP:NPOV is correct, a little time should be given to this new editor, who has expressed on my user talk page that the user will upload "the rest" of the article tonight. I'd say give that time for him to finish and then judge the article for its face value.  I do have to point out though, that this article is part of a student project, which I've already told the user that this is not a webspace or an outlet for academic research publications.   - Jameson L.

 * (ec again x_x) Merge any factual and referenced stuff into Solar energy, and if it gets reverted, discuss on the article's talk page. We don't need a separate page for content fork. JuJube (talk) 05:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If you want to develop a section to incorporate into an article in this way it might be more appropriate to do it in userspace. Looking at what is up so far it exclusively deals with the issue from a US perspective, a lot of the myths mentioned will not apply in the same way to other regions, in some cases the oposite may apply.

 * That seems like a reasonable idea. How does one copy what I have so far into a userspace? I am new to that concept.
 * Comment - Done At his request, I've created a copy of the article in User:Soggypenny's userspace (which basically was my suggestion on the WP:SANDBOX idea.), located at User:Soggypenny/Sandbox01  - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  contribs  05:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - Thank you Thank you all for helping me out as a fledgling editor. I have received the article in my userspace and will continue to contribute and edit there. Feel free to delete this current wikipedia article if it is necessary, an thank you once again for all of your help. Soggypenny (talk) 06:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Student essay created with the cheeky message: "please refrain from editing this article". -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
