Well, as far as I can tell it can't be used here since it's not GFDL compatible as all text must be. Since, none of this necessarily has to be used for educational purposes. Use your best judgment and I will trust it, because I'm not fully sure myself. gren グレン 11:55, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]


If you look in this page's history, you'll find some ugliness, including a copyright violation mess, that was not really a copyright violation. There is that contributor-limited wiki over at http://www.green-trust.org/wiki/index.php?title=Negawatt that not anyone can edit, and the whole page looks like sensationalism and black magic. Though the content is provided under the GFDL license, at least as of 10/27/05, so it is permissible to duplicate verbatim copies. The Wikipedia abuses and attacks are getting more sophisticated these days, including some people going to the lengths of putting up a whole site dedicated to offsite smearing of the term wiki, putting that much effort into deriding wikipedia. The obvious, in your face edits are easy to deal with, but these half-truth articles and offsite links are more subtle. Sigh. Sillybilly 14:00, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism and POV[edit]

Attention SillyBilly, please desist in your attempts at vandalism and pov generalist assertions particularly as this is a new article under constuction.

However, you are correct in identifying article as economic and the addition of hyperlinks is welcome.

Vandalism[edit]

You sire spew a lot of nonsense and half truths. Why keep saving a version of the page every 4 minutes, for hours on end? It's a waste of disk storage space on wikipedia's side. Are you getting paid to ruin wikipedia? By who? Otherwise I cannot understand your reasons. Why all the exerted effort to cause damage? --Sillybilly 12:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Civility please.[edit]

Please refrain from using abusive language toward other users. We can disagree with civility. It seems both users above need to step back and analyze their pov's and refrain from name-calling.

I wikified the page, but feel that it should be redirected to negawatt power should that under construction page develop into a useable page. It will be watched closely. Vsmith 02:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed (not only) on the redirect. Two separate pages for one concept are too much. Unlike Megawatt for example, there should be no occasion where one would want to link to this pseudo-unit but not to the concept behind it. Femto 15:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I started the negawatt power talk page, but it doesn't show up in my watchlist[edit]

I started the talk:negawatt power talk page, but it doesn't show up in my watchlist, so it may not show up in yours either. Please go take a look. Sillybilly 16:29, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]


spelling NegaWatt[edit]

In English, shall i write Negawatt or NegaWatt? Is there a difference in French? Why does the french association for negawatt is called Association négaWatt? see [1]. Should this page be renamed negaWatt? --Enr-v 15:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
