Talk:Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: The WikiBook

****************************************************Draft for Comment: Guideline suggestions for contributors****************************************************************************************
This book is a topic which is highly complex and potentially controversial. Thus, it is imperative to follow Wikibooks policies with regard to etiquette, to remain very organized, and to assure quality.

Quality control
All assertions should be cited to credible authority at permanent links. It is recommended to use notes to explain items in addition to using reference citations. The way to do this is to use the ref group="note" tag inside the < brackets.

Government and industry personnel
Please refrain from characterizing NRC employees, PG&E employees and TEPCO employees in derogatory terms. They are working people, they work hard at what they do, many of them sustain routine lifetime exposures to nuclear radiation which is a sacrifice most people are not required to make. Please do not refer to them as though they were industry shills, apologists, profiteers or evil mad scientists.

Anti-nuclear critics and protesters
Please refrain from characterizing dissident scientists, protesters and members of anti-nuclear organizations in derogatory terms. They are concerned citizens, they work hard at what they do, and many of them are deeply concerned that their loved ones and community are not subjected to acute radiation exposures. Please do not refer to them as though they were Luddhites, junk science devotees, fanatics, or conspiracy theorists. ====Factual exceptions==== If you are reporting upon characterizations of either industry supporters or anti-nuclear critics in terms which violate the above guidelines, and you do in fact believe that the evidence in the case indicate that such characterizations may be appropriate AND you are citing primary or secondary sources which allege so, please attempt to attain consensus on the discussion pages and in any case establish the reliability of the characterization in accordance with BLP, NoPersonalAttacks and other appropriate guidelines.Geofferybard (discuss • contribs) 22:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Verification, accuracy and attribution

Policies on use of content
Can I copy-paste if I change the text a little bit? Further information: Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing

No. It can be tempting to think that if you copy-paste the text and then change it a little bit, that then you're okay. For example you might change "The apple is a crisp, crunchy fruit prized for its nearly clear juice" to "The apple is a crisp, crunchy fruit appreciated for its almost clear juice". Unfortunately, this sort of superficial change is not enough: you must write the article in your own words, and then cite the sources you rely on. If the way in which a source has said something is important, use a quotation, including quote marks and a clear attribution in the text (eg According to John Doe, "The apple is a crisp, crunchy fruit prized for its nearly clear juice"). [edit] What about quotes? Main page: Wikipedia:Quotations

Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. Copyrighted text must be attributed and clearly marked as a quote. Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited even if correctly cited. [edit] How about copy-pasting from one Wikipedia article to another? Main page: Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia

Yes, you can copy parts of one Wikipedia article into another, but you must link to the source article in your edit summary. Original content contributed by users can be freely used, but only if you recognise the original author – if you don't, this violates their copyright. However, if you just want to change the title of an article do not copy-paste – use the move tool or make a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves instead.

] How to export xml and convert to usable import files (maaaybe)&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 05:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I actually followed this procedure and got the xml file on my hardrive. Unfortunately, as per [] i would need uploader. Since i am still new at importer i don't know that it is necessarily the humble and unobtrusively polite thing to do to already ask for more. On the other hand, if i construct an elaborate attribution system that someone later does not like, or wants to criticize for some reason, they might say "why didn't you ask for uploader privileges. i suppose my reply would be (1) i was still new as importer and did not want to appear "eager" and (2) my errors on importer have caused some inconveniences to admins who had to fix those errors. (3) uploading could create risks to the wiki since malicious code is sometimes uploaded, even inadvertantly. Thus, anyone reading this is welcome to grant me uploader if they think i should be using this xml method (assuming it works). But i think it is just as well not to bother the admins with another account upgrade so hot on the heels of my last request. So for the time being, i will not put in a renewed uploader request and will use the manual revision history methodologies. If there is disatisfaction with them then we can discuss uploader account priv. &#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 06:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment for above post:Tried the xml-upload method to import problematic file but needed local uploader privileged account to do so. since i am still pretty new to import and this wiki i am not proactively requesting uploader right this moment06:35, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Before posting the above, a new comment:/* External */ reiterating prev comment on off chance someone wants to look at uploader for this account. i am pretty much buddhistically detached about it just fine with the manual attrib method, at this point anyway. this comment pasted in also&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 06:35, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

May have to request admin to delete Transwiki:Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster if asking w:admin's to move the w: article...I moved the article over to make room for a new incoming import.)

vs

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Fukushima_Aftermath:_Diablo_Nuclear_Redux?

Note insertion of blank space = different pages.

Identical in terms of both show recent edits on mainspace.

But one has a redlinked discussion page.

Research question: do they show the same edit history?

Do they transclude identically?

Which link from category/stub/subject pages??

nuclear fission

Regional context: nuclear Power in Canada, Mexico and Western states
Canada has 18 active CANDU reactors operating at five sites, most of them in Ontario, that produce 15 percent of Canada's electricity (and 50% of Ontario's electricity). The Province of Ontario is planning to build another reactor, either at Bruce Nuclear Station or Darlington Nuclear Station.

Minor technical points and side issues
"Recent"/recent. There is some question as to whether the shoreline fault was actually only recently discovered or whether it was known,at the least, that there was another earthquake fault near Diablo which had not been officially recognized. Of course, it makes more sense to apell that out and reference it.&#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 19:46, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Old, still-outstanding factual issues
NOTE: Because the topic of this book is (a) highly technical and (b) highly controversial, it seems that it would be appropriate to include salient discussion from the other WMF sites which go to the accuracy and reliability issue. &#91;&#91;User:Geof Bard गीता&#93;&#93; (discuss • contribs) 19:48, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Unit 1 Operation License Expiration Date Inaccurate?
The article states: "Unit One is a 1,122 MWe pressurized water reactor supplied by Westinghouse. It went online on 2 November 1984 and is licensed to operate through 22 September 2024." The U.S. Nuclear Regulation Commission states: "The operating license for Unit 1 was issued in November 1984 and it expires in September 2021." [1] So is the Wiki page wrong or is the NRC page wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eheitzman (talk • contribs) 11:54, 11 December 2008 Good question. It seems very odd that they'd license the reactor for only 37 years, instead of the normal 40. I've sent a comment to the NRC, so I'll probably hear back in a day or few. —WWoods (talk) 00:10, Originally posted on wp 12 December 2008 (UTC)
