Talk:Mass–energy equivalence/GA2

Forbes72, you opened this review a month ago and haven't returned to it since. Do you intend to return soon, or should a new reviewer be found? Please let us know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Forbes72, I truly hope you are well. I'm not sure if others will do it to keep things moving, but I have no intention of asking for a new reviewer. I hope you are able to return if and when you have the time, your contributions are most appreciated! Footlessmouse (talk) 06:00, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Footlessmouse, it's been another couple of months, and still nothing from Forbes72. There is a very large backlog of unreviewed nominations, so it's up to you whether you wish to continue to hope for their return or put this review back into the pool of unreviewed nominations.

Mine versus mine

I don't much care whether articles like Boddington gold mine have gold mine capitalised or not but, when moving them to a new title it would be really good if you update the templates the at the bottom of the articles as well. I'm also not sure why you moved a handful of articles in Category:Gold mines in Western Australia but left the remainder untouched. I would say, do them all or do none if you care about the capitalisation. Calistemon (talk) 08:25, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

@Calistemon: Thanks, I hadn't considered the templates. To answer your question, I was starting to work through a bunch of Category:Copper mines by country subcategories (in this case Category:Copper mines in Western Australia). I thought it would only be a few dozen pages with capitalization, but turns out it's pretty randomly split between upper and lowercase so I wasn't able to finish the project in one go. Only a minority of pages about gold mines in Australia are also categorized as copper mines, so that's why it appears kind of random. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 00:40, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Cheers, that explains the randomness of it! You may be interested in the 2009 discussion of the topic, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mining/Archive 1#Capitalizing of "mine" in page names, an unsuccessful attempt to establish a naming convention on the above topic. No consensus was achieved back then. Calistemon (talk) 01:06, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

@Calistemon: That seems pretty relevant. Imo, "gold" and "mine" should be lowercase in article titles, but if other people have the opposite opinion, I'd rather work on something else rather than trying to establish formal consensus for such a small issue. Let me know if you want me to lowercase the rest of the pages in Category:Gold mines in Western Australia for consistency, otherwise I'll just let things be. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 01:41, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Tricky subject as you can see, no formal agreement could be reached back then, 13 years ago. I think, the official name of the mine may have to be taken into account, too. As stated above, I'm not much bothered whether its lower or upper case, it would just be nice (but not essential) if the names follow one convention. My suggestion would be to see if you could establish some sort of consensus first, that way you don't risk that somebody reverts your edits. WP:Mining is probably not the right place, pretty inactive nowadays. Maybe Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (capitalization) would be the better place.
