Kogan Creek Solar Boost: Electric MW or Thermal MW?
Hello...I am wondering on what basis you changed the Kogan Creek Solar Boost sizing from MW electrical to MW thermal? All the references I could find talk about "additional electricity", and more importantly I work in the energy sector in Queensland and have technical documents relating to the project. They state 44 MWe. Please revert your edit.--Graham Proud (talk) 13:56, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- In addition, I noticed that you updated the project timing but did not provide any references for the new date. I have a few if you need a hand.--Graham Proud (talk) 14:05, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Compare the revisions and you find that I added a reference: [1] where you read: "The Kogan Creek Solar Boost Project will be the largest solar integration with a coal-fired power station in the world when it is operational in *2015*." and "Construction is underway on the project, which involves the installation of a 44 megawatt solar *thermal* addition to the plant." You could understand otherwise with the following statement: "The solar boost will increase the amount of electricity Kogan Creek Power Station generates by up to 44 megawatts during peak solar conditions" but, having the same turbine and generator it could not be intended that the power grows to 794 MW from 750 MW (it would burn the electrical part, should the turbine take the load). It follows: " ... supply additional steam to the turbine, supplementing the conventional coal-fired steam generation process". And for the funding: "Funding for the project includes a $70 million contribution from CS Energy and a contribution of more than $34 million from the Australian Government. CS Energy has received support from the Queensland Government through a contribution of $35.4 million to CS Energy’s Carbon Reduction Program, which has enabled the company to direct funds to the Kogan Creek Solar Boost Project." I would add, the thermal power of a solar field is straightforward to calculate. But how do you declare the electrical output, without a dedicated turbine and generator ? You could make wild assumption, taking the efficiency of the coal generated steam, which reaches temperatures the solar field could only dream. --Robertiki (talk) 19:25, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- I have found that Siemens states Kogan Creek is 744 MW gross power. Source is linked after steam pressure and temperature in article. Should we update ? --Robertiki (talk) 22:55, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Corruption within the Wehrmacht
Hi, thank you for your comment on the proposed renaming. I don't think anybody disagrees that the corruption was widespread; the bribery scheme was just a small facet of that. In fact, if you have sources on the overall corruption, I'd be very happy to collaborate on such an article. My thinking behind requesting the move is that it would allow me to focus on the bribery scheme, and hopefully bring the article to GA eventually. I'd envision the broader "Wehrmacht Corruption" as Phase II. Please let me know your thoughts on this. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:07, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Mercy Career & Technical High School
Hi Robertiki,
I want to thank you again for trying to help me out with regards to the name change. I actually just noticed that John has more or less deleted the entire page on the grounds of it not being a marketing site. I get that, but we didn't originally make this page in the first place and as far as I know I'm the first person from the school to actually edit it. (I started there in May.) Furthermore if he's going to blow up that entire page on those grounds why are pretty much every other Sisters of Mercy school page unchanged? This whole thing makes me want to just request the page be deleted and its simply referenced under the Sisters of Mercy page. It's not worth the petty arguing in my eyes. Maybe you can shed some light here on this for me. Appreciate any input you have, thanks again. WburleyCTE (talk) 06:44, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- First, don't give too much importance to the more active editors, sometimes they look like bureaucrats of Wikipedia, but are not. We are simply more expert than new users.
- Second, let's read the rules:
- Retain ampersands in titles of works or organizations, such as Up & Down or AT&T. ...
- Let us wait what happens next. --Robertiki (talk) 07:27, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Robertiki, I've closed the discussion and opened up another RM,
- I agree we did start off on the wrong foot and I too apologize for the way I perhaps handled it,
- Anyway I've started a new RM and I would ask that you keep your !vote short and sweet - None of this "They did that wrong and this wrong" etc etc as it just causes more heated crap that we don't need,
- I would also ask that whatever the outcome you accept that consensus and move on otherwise I'll have to drag us all to this swamp and you could end up blocked,
- Normally I wouldn't budge with RMs however you are correct in that I did close too early and I hope this final RM would put a stop to it all,
- Anyway thanks & Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 22:16, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's fine. You understand that after stating in the move page: "I personally believe the article is fine and that we shouldn't use ampersand ...", that you are barred from closing the request. Thanks and a good day. --Robertiki (talk) 01:26, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Is this something that I should vote on or does my position as an employee prevent me from voting in favor of it?

Thank you :) WburleyCTE (talk) 14:29, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) - Hi WburleyCTE - No you certainly shouldn't vote and yup you shouldn't edit the article either (I mean technically you shouldn't edit it full stop however if you're updating it slightly, fixing typos and or adding new sources then I personally turn a blind eye) but short answer No you shouldn't !vote, Sorry bud. –Davey2010Talk 15:02, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

- WburleyCTE, as a general rule, when you call two or more editors, unless on your own page, you should prefer the talk page of the article in which the discussion started. Your are aware that also you, for your part, contributed to the mess of the first "round". You should have asked about the ampersand on the article talk page. And also the above is a question for the talk page, because your Wikipedia:Conflict of interest (colloquially "COI") was already talked there (before it was followed by the information you received on your page). There is also the annoyance of a personal alert which, a editor may enable for every message on his own talk page. I have enable it; that means, that while you were chatting, I received a row of alerts, one for each message posted. I understand that you are learning how the real wikipedia works, so no bad feelings for that. --Robertiki (talk) 23:23, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Robertiki,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged ULOF for deletion. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an unnecessary disambiguation page.

watt hour non-SI unit of active energy: 1 Wh ≔ 3 600 J
Note 1 to entry: The multiple kilowatt hour, kWh, is commonly used for billing consumers of electric energy and is therefore indicated on electric energy meters.
ISO specifies in ISO 80000-1:2009 "Quantities and units -- Part 1: General":
7.2.4 English names of compound units In the English language, the name of the product of two units is the concatenation of the two names, separated by a space.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

When you start making edits in a topic area designated as contentious by ArbCom and have not already indicated your awareness or have not received an alert before, the alert can be placed.

- This was only updated in December 2022. Again, read above, it is a standard message. Mellk (talk) 17:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

- You made an edit in the topic alert, I placed the alert. You can keep doing this, but now as you are obviously aware of the designation, that is all that matters. Mellk (talk) 17:41, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Let's talk clear text. I made one edit in the Mazyr page, you reverted it, placing a WP:CRYSTAL tag. I added one more reputable source, asking you to talk instead of cold reverting. You revert once more, placing a WP:BRD tag and noting that the edit does not belong in the lead. I follow your suit, moving the edit in a section near the bottom of the page and starting a talk, so we could start a dialogue and maybe reach a consensus. You start to talk, indicating a no compromise position and asking a auto revert. I am not sure about what to do, so start a RFC. At that point you revert for the third time, without even waiting che RFC conclusion. Anyway, after, I see that from the RFC that consensus is against editing about the false flag allegation and that closes for me the talk. The only thing I feel should be done is to place a three-revert rule warning on your talk page, because of your actions. But you fully delete the section I opened. I reinstate the edit, placing a WP:TPO tag. And you fully delete once more. Anyway, I let it go. Do you agree with my summary ? --Robertiki (talk) 18:13, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- You made a bold edit which was reverted. WP:ONUS means it is on you to achieve consensus for inclusion. I also have every right to remove whatever is on my talk page. Mellk (talk) 18:24, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

They are part of Wikipedia, and exist to make collaboration among editors easier." I repeat, your talk page IS NOT your page. --Robertiki (talk) 18:40, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- The issue here is removal of warnings/comments, nothing else. It says in the same section there:

. It does not say it is mandatory nor does it say you should revert the removal, like you did. Mellk (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2023 (UTC)- As you are a young, albeit active, editor on Wikipedia, I wanted only to make you aware that some of your behaviors are not in line with the spirit of Wikipedia, exposing some hardness from your side. --Robertiki (talk) 18:57, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Battle of Hattin. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 19:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have only done one revert of an unexplained revert, and explained my revert. You should have started a talk instead of a rude (and empty, you are not an administrator) threat of sanctions. I always start a talk if my revert (first revert) is contested. You didn't give me any chance. You should apologize. --Robertiki (talk) 20:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
