Molten Salt Reactor - what happens to Xe and Kr?

You just deleted the best source to settle the question with a comment "youtube is not a reliable source". Youtube is a video streaming service, not a source. The source is a Gordon McDowell video of Lars Jorgensen, giving a talk on their MSR design, in which he explains clearly what happens with these fission products. David MacQuigg 21:12, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
I see the problem is fixed. Thank you. David MacQuigg 04:06, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

"Producer–consumer problem" article quality standard, lead section rewrite

Hello Ita140188. I rewrote big parts of the producer-consumer problem article. This article has a lot of complexity. As a Master in Computer Science (exactly Diplom Informatiker - an older german title) I am very good in the history of computer science and can show with citations where the term "producer-consumer problem" originated. I can ensure that the source code in the article is very high standard. But I am not a writer. Can you please give me more detail about "quality standard" and "lead section rewrite"? AndreAdrian (talk) 14:44, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

@AndreAdrian: The lead does not have enough context for someone not already familiar with the topic. The second paragraph starts with "The unbounded buffer case:". The first time someone reads this they will wonder "what is the buffer? What are we talking about here?" Technical words should be introduced before they are used whenever possible to avoid this. The next paragraph has "In section 4.1".. what does this mean? What is this referring to? This kind of writing makes it very difficult if not impossible to follow the text. The lead and the whole article is full of these problems and should be rewritten for clarity. --Ita140188 (talk) 13:38, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks. Some time ago the critique was "not enough citation". Now the critique is (indirect) "too much citation". I will try to find a middle ground. AndreAdrian (talk) 18:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
@AndreAdrian: I never mentioned too much citations. That's not the problem at all. The problem is that the text is very difficult to follow and should be written more clearly. Nothing to do with citations. --Ita140188 (talk) 08:09, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks again for your kind words, I had my share of editor wars already. I have overhauled the lead section. Please have a look. AndreAdrian (talk) 11:51, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of SpaceX

The article SpaceX you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:SpaceX for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

I saw that you were helping with the general article.

Could you please keep in mind we have World oil market chronology from 2003 for more detailed information? I might be that people are adding too much to the main article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:28, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Can you please elaborate on this reversion

Hello! This regards this change, a reversion of my edit.

In other places in wikipedia, other people have cited this book in a similar way. See for example Little_Boy#Radiation (I did change that ref, by including chapter VII, but the original reference before my change was directly to the the "Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer". This "computer" is a physical mechanical paper-and-plastic-dial that comes bundled with the book, in a pocket at the last page. Alex webpage NUKEMAP is based on this computer and the books content. (Trivia: Dr. Strangelove can also be seen using it in the last few scenes of the movie with the same name, if you want to see what it looks like.)

Can you please elaborate on the revert? And, how would you like me to phrase it instead, to include this reference? Thanks · · · Omnissiahs hierophant (talk) 10:03, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

@Omnissiahs hierophant: You added what seems like a personal comment to the title of a chapter in a 1962 book. This is what I reverted. If the Nukemap is based on that book, it is ok to leave the references as they are, since the text reports the same results. --Ita140188 (talk) 20:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Ok. I can accept that it was maybe a flimsical language, and that it is difficult for others to verify the parameters, since they dont have access to the physical book.. it looks less trustworthy, even though it is correct, and from a more authorative source. And therefore we skip it.
I can accept that.. hm. · · · Omnissiahs hierophant (talk) 21:33, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

IT IS RUDE to revert without explanation

You need to explain WHY you're removing links to an online calculator, and back this up with WP's rules. If you fail to do this I'll take you to ANI for disciplining. Tony (talk) 04:39, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Just for the record, I did mention "revert spam" or similar in the first few instances of link spamming by this IP user in other articles. This user spammed several articles, and at that point it was obvious what the problem was. I also had left a note on the IP's talk page. While I agree in principle with your comment here, the absence of a comment is not a reason to revert a revert, especially in obvious cases of link spamming like this. --Ita140188 (talk) 04:46, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
I see no reason not to include links to that tool. It could hardly be POV or some other breach. Will you reinstate them? Tony (talk) 09:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Nowcasting

Hi:

I would like to know why you reversed my edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nowcasting_(meteorology)&curid=30230871&diff=1111297349&oldid=1110968809)? Weather rock might be a gag but it is literally a nowcast of weather.

Pierre cb (talk) 12:08, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

@Pierre cb: Thank you for your message. I feel that the addition of that page as the only see also link gives undue weight to something that is only marginally connected to the topic. Also your edit broke the section hyerarchy: External links should not be a subsection of See also, and there is no need for subsections in See also in general. In any case, if you feel this link is justified, you can re-add it. --Ita140188 (talk) 12:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not peeved by your deletion of the link I recently added to the Solar Power article, but I'd like to understand the why.

The link wasn't an insertion into the main article, just an external link at the bottom.

The idea of utilizing gravity in the storage of electric energy would seem to be worth exploring and, conceivably, making practical use of. It seems to make sense in conjunction with a renewable source such as wind. Why not with p.v.? Besides seasonal energy-production fluctuations depending on latitude, there's the cloud-cover variability factor.

You've considered the material in the video to be irrelevant. I thought it was a good introduction for laymen, such as me.Joel Russ (talk) 16:34, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

@Joel Russ: Hi, thank you for your message. The relevant policy for external links generally discourages the inclusion of user-created content, including Youtube videos (see WP:YOUTUBE). In general this material is not considered reliable. In this case in particular, there is also the problem of undue weight (see WP:UNDUE) to a technology that is at its early stages and unlikely to ever be economical compared to other established storage technologies, for example chemical batteries. Also, the article is about solar power, not energy storage, so the video is also quite out of context. Of course there is also an entire article on gravity battery. --Ita140188 (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Anton Petrov, the narrator of the video and probably involved in its creation, would be considered a user (of Youtube). I assume he had a hand in creating the video, and uses Youtube to publish or disseminate his videos. If I understand you correctly, this fact would make the video a "user-creation". You refer to policy that bans posting external links to user-created content.
Possibly I didn't dig deep enough, but I found no mention in the policy statements about user-created content, or how these policies would apply across the board to Youtube videos.
Still, I'd think energy-storage technologies, whatever tech they may involve, will be indispensable in conjunction with a number of renewable energy-production methods. But I can accept the rationale that, by providing an external link, a prototyped tech in the testing and development stages might be given undue weight.Joel Russ (talk) 05:07, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Just to clarify: "user-created" doesn't make much sense, sorry. I meant "self-published", in the sense that users can post anything without external review. There is no editorial or peer review in Youtube. Ita140188 (talk) 07:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Degrowth article

Hi @Ita140188 - I see you marked few issues with Degrowth article, without recent efforts to make it better or be more precise...would you mind checking it again and removing if any of the issues have been resolved? I would love to translate it, but now reluctant. Thank you. --Zblace (talk) 17:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

@Zblace: I think most of the issues remain. The article is mostly written as an essay rather than an encyclopedia article. In terms of viewpoints, the article is not neutral, and even the criticism section seems written from the point of view of degrowth advocates. In terms of references, there are still many paragraphs which lack citations. I haven't looked into the quality of the existing citations though. Other issues that are not tagged are the need for reorganization and trimming: for example, the background section is way too long and disorganized, and often digressing into unrelated topics (eg. definition of Intersectional feminism) --Ita140188 (talk) 12:07, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
@Ita140188 is the same article in Italian better in your opinion? Should I use it as basis for translation instead? --Zblace (talk) 13:16, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
I never read or edit the Italian Wikipedia, but from a quick check it appears that the corresponding article in Italian also has some problems, such as bias and lack of citations, but at least it appears more focused and better structured. However, this is only from a very quick check, I haven't read it in full Ita140188 (talk) 13:22, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
