User talk:Andrewa
G'day! This is Andrew Alder's user talk page, you knew that. Welcome!
 | If you'd like to see what I'm doing, this is how I do that |
 | If I left you a message on your talk page, please respond there, I am watching your talk page. That's of course unless the message at your talk page was a mere heads-up as to progress on a discussion here or on another talk page, in which case probably best to continue the discussion where it is.
I prefer to discuss issues regarding any particular article, policy etc. at its talk page, so if I'm already involved in a discussion there's no need to fork the discussion to here, and if not then a simple heads-up here with a link to the relevant talk page and section is best. Be aware of the canvassing guidelines, but if you're just asking me for advice rather than a whole list of people there should be no problem there. Please don't censor my talk page. Just because you don't support what someone else is saying is no reason to remove it. Is it now? (You wouldn't think I had to say that, but I have learned otherwise.) On the other hand, if the edits you are removing are by banned users (or their socks), then please feel free to do it. That's not censorship, it's administrative drudgery, and I thank you for taking it on. But if there's doubt as to who the contributor really is, or if the proposed ban is not yet in force, or both, better to leave me to clean up my own page. (And again I would have thought that was obvious to all, but have learned otherwise.) A non-abusive heads-up on the other antics of the contributor, in reply to what they have said or done here, is always appreciated. TIA! |  |

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Greek sockpuppet
[edit]@Andrewa Good evening administrator, I noticed that the profile "D.S. Lioness" is identical to the profile "ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη" as the interests are similar, as are the initials of the name, the (first) name and also the ideology (Marxist) are identical between the two profiles. It should be noted that the "ΔώραΣτρουμπούκη" profile on the Greek Wikipedia has already been blocked indefinitely.

Bharat Small Reactor
[edit]Hi Andrewa, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to inform you that I have recreated the article on Bharat Small Reactor on Wikipedia. In doing so, I also removed the redirection that was previously in place. If you think the page isn't ready for Wikipedia yet, you can put the redirection back.

- It looks good to me.
- But I am confused as to exactly the relationship between the BSR, the BSMR, and the existing Indian CANDUs. Is this accurate? Which of these are BSRs and BSMRs if so? Andrewa (talk) 21:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Andrewa I am also confused about the classification. I tried to develop the article based on the information available from reliable sources. From the media coverage, it seems that the BSR is proposed as a miniaturized derivative of the IPHWR-220, and the BSMR is a proposed modular reactor based Light Water Reactorn design that will replace the current CANDU derivatives, which happens to be PHWRs, by simply replacing the pressure vessel. That seems audacious. The problem with my understanding is that one cannot easily convert an existing PHWR to an LWR due to the involvement of heavy water. In short, it's not feasible. So, why issue such a confusing statement in the press? Secondly, why didn’t a reliable source like The Hindu fact-check the statement? Charlie (talk) 03:45, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
