A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of car-free places, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of car-free places until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

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)Reply

@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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply

 

Thanks for uploading File:Fiera Milano 1920s.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
