User talk:Tednace

Hi Ted, welcome to SourceWatch. A query on Sempra Power Proposal - I note that while it is referred to as a cancelled proposal it has two category tags - Category:Idaho proposed coal plants and category:Cancelled coal plants. Do you want that page to have both categories or is Category:Idaho proposed coal plants redundant? cheers --Bob Burton 22:59, 17 December 2007 (EST)

Some notes on SW Style and Referencing

Hi Ted, me again. Thanks for starting the various power projects - I notice that some of them have already floated to the top of the Google rankings already.

I have been working my way through the various pages that you and Kaethin have created. My apologies for taking a while to catch up with them but the last week or two have been a bit crazy. A few notes on SourceWatch style and referencing that are aimed to help readers follow links on key points back to primary sources and for easy readbility.

• Acronyms: it is best to spell out the full term for the first use on a page with the acronym in brackets and then the use of the acronym for subsequent uses;

• we aim to have all key points on a page referenced. Here's one of your pages I have edited so you can see what I'm aiming at - Plum Point Energy Station and Mustang Energy Project.

• In terms of referencing style, please see Help:References. If you need any help in mastering the formatting, feel free to drop me a line. My job is to help tidy things up and help editors with any problems they are having. In particular, it is worth noting that we aim to have full references with author, url, title, the publication, the date it was published and page (if relevant. If a document is an Acrobat file we also include (Pdf) at the end of the reference so that readers are forewarned (which is especially relevant to those on slow dialup connections).

• the format of the "Resources" section is ("references" are for those sources cited in the narrative text, "related SourceWatch Resources" are links to internal SourceWatch articles and "external Links" are to links off the SourceWatch site that may be of interest to readers. (If you open this edit window, you can use the following code as your template).

Let me know if you have any queries. I'll try and nibble away on some of the other articles that I haven't got back to yet. But if you or Kaethin beat me to it, I won't be upset. :) --Bob Burton 01:39, 18 December 2007 (EST)

Re Geosequestration

Hi Ted, I noticed that one of the proposed links you had on the portal page was "coal capture and sequestration". FYI there is a stub on geosequestration. I'm pretty easy on what the best term to use is. --Bob Burton 05:43, 1 January 2008 (EST)

CCS

Hi Ted, I though you might be interested in this map of demonstration CCS projects around the world that I came across. See http://www.co2crc.com.au/demo/worldprojects.html Is it worth starting a page with a list of the projects and a set of stubs?

cheers, --Bob Burton 05:16, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Hello and tell us a little about yourself

Hey Ted, just dropping by to say "hello" and to ask you to perhaps let the other editors on SourceWatch know a little bit about yourself by adding some information to your user page. You can get there by clicking the "user page" tab when on this discussion page or by clicking your name at the top of any SourceWatch window (when you're logged-in). By way of example, see what Sheldon, Bob or I have done.

By the way, I love what you guys are doing with coal swarm - keep up the good work!--Conor Kenny 03:23, 16 April 2008 (EDT)

Red links

Hi Ted, generally red links only really are something to worry about if they stay there for a long time. Given the ACCCE members are reasonably central to the industry, it wouldn't take too much to create stubs on them. Where there are good Wikipedia articles, we should feel free to copy them across with acknowledgment (this can be done by adding wikipedia inside {{ }} tags. I've gone through the membership list and tweaked the names to correspond to the most common version of the names used. Some of them I have linked to existing SW and a few I've removed the w: link. --Bob Burton 06:17, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
