List of power stations in Sri Lanka[edit]

Nominator(s): Reh man 07:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The previous nomination page had to be archived because it was opened for too long. Ping: @Dudley Miles:, @Giants2008:, @The Rambling Man:. Reh man 07:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, I guess all issues are sorted? Reh man 05:01, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all. Since all possible problems/issues are attended to, can we pass this as FL? Reh man 23:36, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from — Calvin999

fossil-fuel → Link (and in the section below)

Done. Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should a List of power stations actually mention some or their locations in the lead?

I'm not too sure... Sri Lanka is quite small so the power stations are not really located that far from each other. Do you think it would be better if it included? The table(s) does list the city... Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well considering this is a list of power stations in Sri Lanka yet no power stations are mentioned... — Calvin999 14:50, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Calvin999:. I don't understand your last comment... No power stations are mentioned? Reh man 14:26, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I personally find the graph in the lead too encroaching and I think that it would be better placed elsewhere.

Perhaps move the map up, and graph below it? Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there should be a picture at all in the lead. — Calvin999 14:50, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I like that chart there, as it nicely summarized a lot details, which would otherwise need paragraphs over paragraphs if written in text... Will keeping it effect the list's chance in reaching FL? Reh man 14:26, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does the map of Sri Lanka need to be that big?

Unfortunately yes. Any smaller, and the linked pogs would not work. Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bit of an OCD thing of mine (I don't actually have OCD, just a thing for neatness) but couldn't the columns for the two tables in the Fossil-fuel section be the same widths as each other?

I tried that too, but there there is no way... The closest I can get is to get the two tables have the same total width... Reh man

Yes, that is what I meant. It's not difficult, and is it possible. Look on Drunk on Love (Rihanna song). — Calvin999 14:50, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Reh man 14:26, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I placed a 'clear' at the bottom of the section so it doesn't interfere with the section below.

Thanks! Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of calling this section Fossil-fuel, why not call it Non-renewable, so that it matches the antithesis of the Renewable section below?

Done. Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from this, I think the list is really good and clean. The tables are really clear and well formatted. I'll be happy to support once my points have been addressed. If you wouldn't mind looking at my nomination, I'd appreciate it. — Calvin999 16:32, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Calvin. I have responded to each point above. I will also have a look at your nomination soon. Regards, Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from NortyNort

Hey Rehman, I looked it over and agree with Calvin's points. The layout of the list is similar to Electricity sector in Sri Lanka and seems to duplicate that article purpose in areas. It is not as 'easy to navigate' as I believe it should be. The chart and hydro complex graphic, while very nice, clutter the article.

Moragahakanda and Broadlands have no coordinates and I saw your response to a similar query in the original nom... but both articles have coordinates themselves. Why are those not on the list?

I am on an SD monitor now and the three pictures in hydro and wind leave a substantial amount of white space in the section.--NortyNort (Holla) 17:49, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NortyNort. Thanks for reviewing. I agree with you that the chart needs to be removed; I shall do so today. The coords on Moragahakanda and Broadlands articles are of the dams itself, not the power station. The coords on this list are of the power stations. The white spacing issue was also discussed in the previous nomination, by Dudley (Point 5). It doesn't seem like its something that can be completely avoided... The only other way I could think of is to reduce the table's width, and that by removing the "date commissioned" column. Reh man 13:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the chart. Reh man 09:29, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this nomination has been open for 2 months without a lot of comment, and I'm going to have to close it to keep the FLC queue moving. --Pres N 20:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been not promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. --Pres N 16:59, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
