Solar fuel cycle

Thanks for your addition to the Carbon dioxide removal article. Since the text you added covered a way to use CO2, rather than remove it, I moved your text to the section Uses in the article on Carbon dioxide. Nepomuk 3 (talk) 22:47, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have just edited an article on Carbon dioxide removal putting the item ==Solar fuel cycle== in the Carbon dioxide. How can one start a new page on "Carbon capture and transformation - methane fuel cycle" as there does not seem to be a page on this subject. Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage is related but not exactly. John Daglish (talk) (discussion moved here with copy on Nepomuk 3 (talk).

Since you want to describe "methane fuel cycle", perhaps this page could be a better place to describe "Carbon capture and transformation - methane fuel cycle": Methane#Developing_technologies Nepomuk 3 (talk) 02:56, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Flush toilet, you may be blocked from editing. What you insert as references are in fact spam links. Drmies (talk) 17:11, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If I remove all the commercial links will it be OK? The problem is that these devices - ultra low flush toilets, drain line carriage enhancement devices, etc. are relatively new or not known about and there is little/no research /third party publications mentioning them. But this design significantly improves on most standard bowls, currently in Europe averaging around 3/4.5 litres per flush ie. 3 liquids/4.5 solids without using vacuum or air propulsion. Its hydro-dynamically well designed.

The addition to Clogging is relevant as it address's non USA problems and the problematic design of siphonic traps. Drain line carriage is extremely relevant as it is one of the main reasons some fabricants and government authorities give for not reducing flush quantities. This can be overcome with certain practices / devices as I detailed.

The Odour section under Maintenance and hygiene is relevant as it avoids the unnecessary use of deodorants/sprays, etc. and is an improvement on traditional toilet ventilation. I will remove the commercial link. John Daglish (talk) 18:47, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't understand all this toilet talk. This is an encyclopedia: material needs to be verified by secondary sources. If someone is so cutting edge that there's no research or secondary sourcing, it shouldn't be in here. If you have material based on these links, and you take out the links, you have unverified material--so that is not an option. You need to write the material based on the secondary sources you have, otherwise it's original research. Drmies (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And it's the same with those Tramway track articles; pinging User:Notfrompedro. Drmies (talk) 19:50, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Drmies: I agree. I reverted the Tramway track edits because the references blatantly commercial. It was just links to companies claiming they created cutting edge innovative products. Notfrompedro (talk) 12:36, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most product development is highly proprietary and patented. Academic researchers are often years behind. I suppose I will have to write an article at batirsain.org, construction21.org or aecb.org and quote that !

The Teeuw book is a book, published by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, and is acceptable. Company links are not. I don't know which part of "don't use commercial links" is unclear to you: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia whose content is based on reliable, published, secondary sources. (https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/print-version/new-toilet-can-save-30-of-water-and-30-of-consumers-water-bills-2018-11-20 is just a press release rehashed on a website.) I don't care how many arguments you make for "oh but it's cutting edge stuff"--we don't do cutting edge stuff here, and if that is actually what you want, then this may not be the website for you, sorry. PLEASE read WP:RS and follow it. Drmies (talk) 14:48, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
