I would mainly just link to the type of well involved, as long as it's semi-clear what sort of well it is, or maybe a slight rephrase (like I mentioned, "subsea oil well" vice "subsea well" for context). As you note, it's best to avoid re-summarising info covered in the wikilinks themselves, as redundant data is just more stuff that has to be guarded/updated/maintained, and the wikilinks make full details so accessible.

Hello, Heijacob. You have new messages at MrKIA11's talk page.

Thank you for your quick reply. The image is freely available at Statoils web page, please see the link in my article. I contacted Statoil with a formal request and asked if it was possible for me to use the picture on Wikipedia, and the reply (mail) from Statoil was that it was ok as long as I credited the image to Statoil. Do you think I can get the picture approved if I go through the OTRS? Heijacob (talk) 17:29, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply. I was expecting the response on my page (hence the {{talkback}} notice)

The website is clearly marked as copyright Statoil, so the image is not free. You can find a lot of information here as to how you should request copyright permission. MrKIA11 (talk) 19:21, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On de-orphaning Riserless Light Well Intervention

Greetings, the page will probably be auto-tagged as "orphan" by a 'bot since presumably few pages link to it. In order to better-link your page into others, I suggest you find some related pages and add RLWI as a "See also" at the end, and/or find a few of the specific pages about sea-drilling and add maybe just a sentence or so in the appopriate section about drilling options and briefly explain RLWI and link to your article. The better linked-in to other petroleum/drilling articles you are, the more views the page will get. MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:27, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply MatthewVanitas. Do you still believe it is too technical, or has it improved since your last review? I will try to link it into other pages. Heijacob (talk) 15:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't remove the technical data, but it really needs to have a dumbed-down intro that puts it into context. As a non-oiler, I have to do a lot of squinting to even guess what it is about. Can you briefly try, here on this page, to give me a one-sentence 8th-grade level explanation of what RLWI is, and then I can try to summarise that for the intro? Again, you don't need to change the whole article, just find a really accessible way to lead off. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to think of something, this is a good excersise for me as well as I take this for granted. I appreciate your support. Heijacob (talk) 16:18, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
