Finetooth comments: This is a good start on an article about an interesting topic. Here are a few suggestions for improvement.
- The Manual of Style generally deprecates one-sentence paragraphs. Most of the paragraphs in the existing article consist of only one sentence, while the others have only two. Two solutions are possible. You can either expand the short paragraphs or combine them.
- "Wind power in Romania" in the first sentence should have a lowercase "W" since it comes in the middle of the sentence and is not the first letter of a proper noun.
- "MW, up from the 3 MW" - Multiple problems here. Terms that are abbreviated should be spelled out on first use, like this: " 3 megawatts (MW)". Furthermore, MW is linked to a disambiguation page. When this happens, you should choose from the disambiguation list and link to an appropriate page, in this case Watt#Megawatt. The # in this link makes the link connect to the megawatt subsection of the watt article. You can pipe the link to appear as MW even though the link is to Watt#Megawatt in this way MW. (Look at this paragraph in edit mode if my explanation isn't clear.) Also, MW needs to be linked only once in an article as short as this. More than that is overlinking. See WP:Overlink for more details.
- "turbines with a 100 metre hub height" - Quantities in metric units need to be expressed also in imperial units, like this: 100-metre (330 ft). I find the convert template handy for doing the conversions and getting the spellings correct automatically. You can find more details at Template:Convert. I added the |adj = on parameter to the template to create a hyphen. You can make a | with a shift-backslash key combination.
- "there is a significant number of companies" - subject-verb agreement: there are
- Each set of statistical claims, each claim that might reasonably be questioned, and each paragraph should be attributed to a reliable source. Some of the paragraphs in the existing article are unsourced. Where does the 23 terawatt-hour figure come from?
- Shouldn't the 23 terawatt-hours really be terawatts? Does this include power generated by coal, natural gas, and all other means? A brief explanation of the difference between a terawatt and a terawatt-hour might be helpful here. A lot of readers won't know the difference between them or even realize that they differ.
- Wikilinks should not be bolded. They are already bolded automatically, and the Manual of Style frowns on double bolding. The bolding should be removed from the links in the big table.
- References should include author name, title, publisher, publication date, url, and access date, when feasible. A handy way to do the citations is to use the cite family of templates. You can find details at WP:CITE and the templates at WP:CIT. Copy-and-paste works well for adding the templates to your article or sandbox, where you can fill in the appropriate data.
I hope these brief suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog. That is where I found this one. Finetooth (talk) 00:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
