Talk:Wind power in Illinois

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit]

Regarding trimming of external links on 21 June 10: I restored the one link to the maps of IL wind projects.

A) It seems consistent with wp:el, as the kind of information that a more comprehensive encyclopedia article titled Wind Power in Illinois would contain. Furthermore the other existing EL neither contains nor obviously links to this kind of information.
B) The link did not seem to me to be described by wp:notlink, also there is no question of wp:coi or anything like that.

The link to the trade association home page was indeed redundant, so I did not restore that.

Concerning the Illinois' RPS

[edit]

I've expanded upon Illinois' RPS because

  • The standard is one of the most aggressive in the U.S. This is because of the large amount of electricity consumed in the state and because the state was essentially starting from zero. California didn't start from zero, and Texas has been building up wind generation for many years and has better resources for renewable generated electricity.
  • In order to meet the RPS, it likely will be necessary for Illinois utilities to continue to 'import' renewable generated electricity, and large amounts of it. This is actually the motive for the Rock Island Clean Line mentioned in the article.

Orphaned references in Wind power in Illinois

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Wind power in Illinois's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "awea":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 22:03, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
