Wikipedia and the misunderstood concept of relevance
In the discussion of the so-called "relevance" at Wikipedia seem to many not understand what those criteria are set, or why there such a thing. For this you normally rife any weird theories about the meaning of these criteria - the friendlier believe in whatever reasonable intent to limit the number of articles that are less friendly and intentions to the suppression of uncomfortable topics. The whole happy panikmachendem associated with such nonsense as saying that Wikipedia would shrink.
these criteria were applied but exactly the opposite purpose! After the time of the initial was wild growth of Wikipedia is that is exactly the opposite problem, a number of users wanted the selection of subjects Define much stricter - some advocated even more than the number of articles already clear 6-digits was a Wikipedia of about 10,000 items, which are tested for but very accurate should be. Between most users but there was a consensus that a topic be appropriate for Wikipedia - "relevant" - is when this literature, extensive media coverage (! Beg to differ from "single message") or the like are; useful sources precisely, in order to write an article. As this least of all in Articles was seen (the "itemization" was not invented yet and is still not implemented in all products), often more than 100 fire originated first discussions every day - a nearly impossible to use mass! To curb this now somehow, criteria were collected, where you no longer prove these sources, but can simply assume to be present. For example, no one doubts that there will be a city, a federal minister or a pope sources are. With time, thus creating a comprehensive plethora of criteria, which are really all just a specification of a single question of the sources.
For this reason, you can just write a "bequellten" articles, without worrying think about the relevance to have to - because they provide the sources themselves, so relevance.
certainly can the relevance criteria also criteria, go to where the users of Wikipedia, without an individual testing that exists on a subject a foreign perception call. If this is now, however, is necessarily the better name?

energy concept with lots of hot air
to the currently much-debated extension of the maturity of the nuclear power plants is still a relatively little-discussed concept . Positively to this approach is its first existence as such, because often the "concepts" which end is here and there ceases already with the current production. Unfortunately, this approach failed, however, really great ideas, it can also be the best understatement really do not call "abitioniert" and almost frighteningly often, find terms such as "reconnaissance" and "ownership" in the wrong context. Apparently, plans to invest that in the course of life extension money raised in the development of renewable energies and especially in more efficiency, otherwise I can not explain to me why develop here several factors positive.
For the energy supply of 2050 and involving an EE-share from just 50%. The electricity would therefore half of wind power, to 1 / 4 of solar energy and Geotherie together and each about 1 / 12 of water, gas and coal (!). The somewhat strange "no term extension had anything terrible scenario is however a total of more than 1 / 3 for the fossil fuels, it is judged partly on a much higher energy needs and is carried at its other growth in the wind less. You have to understand that there are studies that hold already for the year 2030 (!) A 100% renewable power without a life extension possible. The same is also the goal of the Lower Saxon pirates party for their own state.
already indicated, the lower energy requirements by the life extension is just one in 50% by 2050 and already 20% in 2020. This will be achieved through greater efficiency, by "personal responsibility" and "enlightenment" to be achieved. So far so great - it is practical only in two places. The first is to E-cars (Attention, Hold on!) Are exempt from parking fees and allowed to drive in bus lanes. In other words, the municipalities pay the but please. Also wants to increase the funding for building renovation (it was not just the first cut?).
yet at another point will print money, and for offshore wind farms. Here is talk of 75 billion need, so you are also generously whose 5 (no, not a typo by me!).
What we have to? Oh, and CCS, with as great profusion, the operator already "in Germany is not enforceable," a plan (no, no money) for the construction of the power system including informing citizens about their roofs should then run the lines and also education for onshore wind turbines .
All in all, very little, but if you want to rake in € 78 billion expected from the additional profits of power companies, only 26, that's probably not surprising.
What I miss is just a little ambitious goal or a really good idea. A few ideas on the fly:

What I miss is just a little ambitious goal or a really good idea. A few ideas on the fly:
- For the current production has to explain each operator exactly why at any location is not technically perfect construction of CO2 will be provided. We use a nice limit for CO2 emissions from new plants. If an above this, even keien exception is to get. CCS's of course not exist!
- a labeling requirement for the energy required in use for * all * electrical equipment in very clear form, both with an annually adjusted market as compared with concrete figures.
- Small niceness for cars, because my encounter again and again: is weaker by a model no less than 10% Variant with lower fuel consumption available, an appropriate warning must be displayed. Currently, many buy into the belief in "little power is likely to be thrifty" or cars with low-power and cheap but not very economical cast iron engines.
- reforestation of abandoned agricultural or military areas. I suspect that the required CO2 emissions would be almost alone reached ...
- tightening of EnEV extent that new buildings regeneratively in this legislative period supplied passive houses will * have * or a statement must be delivered, why a renewable supply is not possible. Say: Each new development has as a rule _gar keinen_ heating demand more.
- Sudden intensification of the CO2 limits for cars: the 130g will not set as the average, but as the maximum. Only 5% of the produced by a manufacturer models may exceed this value. This leaves room for a couple of "Look what we can" models, but the majority will be optimized heavily on consumption. Personally I think the basis for an average of 95g without the use of electric cars today for granted.
- Speaking electric cars: They are covered with a seemingly high road tax of 250 €, but the buyer but get paid € 5,000. The bottom line pays off All the buyers are still, as the consumption are so comparatively insignificant. For this, we omit the Park-nonsense.

The Wikipedia principle of maximum excitement
few days ago I had a more than bizarre observation on the deletion of the Wikipedia page. As someone put some 20 deletion requests to various articles on fountains. Specifically, these were by one short statement of the subject and including a random point-like, linked list of such articles. A concrete example of this, the article " Samson fountain is. These articles were to his opinion, the problem to be classified erroneously as a list, even though it is to Definitions concerns. Can see it that way but you do not. Instead of this, but easy to change, he just had to make deletion requests - after 30 minutes the whole thing was done by the cooperation of some others.
Another recent deletion debate is about the article on the VW Passat B7 . This car is as safe as the Amen in the church on 2 be presented in October 2010, with a little luck, already 1-2 days earlier. Nevertheless, there is now a deletion discussion with "a bubble" (which means "pie"), which also call for various user Delete. Why must now make an admin work to delete the item and restoring in 4 weeks know well the clear proponents themselves.
Another common problem of this type are so-called barrier tests at users that were closed because of a derailment or a verbal Editwars for 30 minutes. Since then the debate ends, whether the block was justified by saying "Done, because lock expired." - Such discussions often take several hours otherwise. At the same time could breathe the locked users simply once, then selbige almost expired.
Not at all I would like to start with a plethora of fighting applications with the express intention that the article would be your revised. After
all such discussions - there are also see Editwars and barrier methods to sentence structure and spelling, delete discussions about typos or an infinite number of users that any measures of evidence that its newly created articles something important is missing, as the reason for which is interspersed with verbal gaffes vandalism message - I'm always more to the realization that there is a "secret principle of Wikipedia." This principle I call the "principle of maximum Wikipedia excitement." This principle follows the principle that a problem which could be small and unobtrusive resolve quickly without any user would be offended because of or to a discussion (even a major) comes necessarily solve it must, that a large number is involved in previously uninvolved people in it, the one whose change is shown obvious as incompetent and, above all, guaranteed note to readers that the red tape once more braying.
