More for The Doe Run Company

Hello! I'm an employee of The Doe Run Company and I'm here as a representative of the company, per my last message at this WikiProject. Continuing my work to update the company's Wikipedia article, I have saved an expanded and updated draft here, and posted an edit request on the article's talk page. My goals are to correct factual inaccuracies, source all content, and provide a more thorough overview of the company's operations, among others outlined in more detail in the edit request. Would someone from this page be able to give this a look over? TS at Doe Run (talk)

Mining/refining article structure discussion on WT:CHEM

I have noticed that there are a few articles on similar mining and refining-related topics with different names and somewhat similar scopes (e.g. nickel mine vs iron mine redirecting to iron ore vs copper mine redirecting to copper extraction), and wonder if a bit more uniformity would be a useful cleanup. I put the discussion on WT:CHEM but I suspect it's worth linking it here: WT:CHEM#Uniform approach to extraction and refining of industrial metals. Thank you!

New stub template

Hi all - I've just created and added a new template for articles on people heavily connected with mining who wouldn't qualify as geologists. {{Mining-bio-stub}} will place articles in Category:Mining people stubs a subcategory of Category:Mining stubs, and can be used for miners, mining engineers, mine owners, and the like.

Proposed deletion of Bharat Gold Mines Limited

The article Bharat Gold Mines Limited has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for almost 12 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. The Tamil language article has a single source. The external links are a mixed bag of dead links and axes to grind.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
