Copy from Wikipedia

Wikipedia has some excellent articles on nuclear power, but they are often overwhelming to someone who is looking for a basic understanding of the issues raised in our article Nuclear power reconsidered. Rather than start fresh with a whole series on just these issues, I would like to copy selected information from Wikipedia, and share it under the same license CC-BY-SA. I put a notice at the top of this article, but I'm not sure if there is a template to do this in a better way. David MacQuigg (talk) 12:45, 22 March 2022 (CDT)

As long as the status on the /Metadata template is 4, it will show as coming from Wikipedia, so no need to do anything more than that. However, it you end up changing it a bunch, you can change the status to 1 (Developed, 4 red dots) or 2 (Developing.3 red dots). Pat Palmer (talk) 11:59, 7 April 2022 (CDT)

From my current understanding, this article will still need WP attribution. I'll add a section for that now.Pat Palmer (talk) 07:51, 11 January 2023 (CST)

which type of MSR is ThorCon?

This article identifies several types of MSR. Which type is Thorcon? Can we mention Thorcan as an example under that part, and also on Thorcon, say which type it is? Sorry if this is already done and I have somehow missed it. I did link to ThorCon on the Related Articles tab, but I think the main article might also link to it at the appropriate place.

this article needs serious revision

I cannot accept this article remaining on Citizendium in its current condition. It is full of templates from Wikipedia that do not work here, including chemical formulas now showing up as a red "Template". I started trying to clear it up but gave up. Also, it has too many acronyms so that it becomes impossible to follow. Most of the acronyms just need to be written out, because otherwise, normal people will not be able to follow the reasoning. I did a little of this towards the top of the article, but a great deal more such work is needed before this article is ready for prime time. Also, there are many links to articles we do not have; those need to be unlinked, but important concepts need a reference instead since we do not have the article here in Citizendium. Ideally, these references will be to something like Britannica and not Wikipedia, as really, one cannot consider Wikipedia a reliable scientific source of information overall. As it currently stands, I do not consider this article helpful to a normally smart human being, and in fact, it is likely to confuse everyone about almost everything. I can't even begin to catalog all its faults. We'd be better off with a brutally succinct, short summary. Pat Palmer (talk) 08:28, 11 January 2023 (CST)
