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)

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!

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. Grutness...wha? 06:55, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
