Incandescent Lightbulb Information Addition

The page on incandescent lightbulbs needs this information added:

"The white powdery substance on the inside of most common household and commercial incandescent bulbs is called Kaolin. Kaolin, or Kaolinite, is a white, chalky clay in a very fine powder form, that is blown in and electrostaticlly deposited on the interior of the bulb. It serves to very effectively diffuse the light emitted from the filament, producing a more gentle and evenly distributed light. Manufacturers are able to vary the thickness, composition and total amount of the kaolin in a bulb in order to adjust the characteristics of the final light emitted from the bulb. Many brands are established around this, notably General Electric's "Reveal" series. Kaolin diffused bulbs are used extensively in interior lighting because of their comparatively gentle light."

The page is semi-protected, and while I am an expert on the subject, I am not a registered user. Just thought I'd make my little contribution here and there. If someone could please add.

Odessa–Brody pipeline

I wonder why nobody cares about Europe's potentially #1 pipeline, particularly about the fact that its direction (and geopolitics respectively) was changed in two recent years? Thanks, Ukrained (talk) 21:50, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Solar power vs solar energy

Some of the energy article confuse solar power with solar energy especially one that are specific to a particular country. I have created Category:Solar energy by country and made a start at populating it. The contents of Category:Solar power by country should be checked to see if the articles are incorrectly categorised or named. The Solar power in the European Union article for example was incorrectly named. I have since moved it.-- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of ISSOW

The article ISSOW has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This subject appears to be produced by one organization and I'm having a hard time finding multiple reliable sources that showcase it that aren't created by the company itself.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Renewable energy task force

I am thinking of forming a Renewable energy task force, since we can cover a significant amount of articles within the scope. A proposal had previously been formed, but could not ultimately form it due to lack of members. I am opening this for a second time. What do you think? e^xtra999 (talk) 02:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
