When you guys get done gnashing about that, maybe somebody can attend to this cryptic wording: "sulfur dioxide (SO2) need to be different" ;Bear 05:48, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
Is there a link between Cork City and the material? Julien Tuerlinckx 23:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
The line "However, on the down side, both synthetic stoppers and screwcaps require different winemaking methods to some extent, as sulfur dioxide (SO2) levels need to be different, and there may be different wine faults due to oxidation or reduction." struck me as a little POV (neg. synthetic) and all around in need of some source citation. To my knowledge, the "change" in winemaking methods when using a synthetic stopper versus cork is quite minor. Also, the labeling of this as a "downside" is somewhat misleading. For instance, in the case of screw caps (which are less "breathable") you don't need as high of a level of sulfur dioxide to function as an anti-oxident. For people who are sulfite sensitive (wine headaches, etc) this can actually be an "upside". Agne 06:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope I've gotten the forms filled out right on this; it's a little complicated following the steps, especially for multiple moves. Also, note two previous discussions at Talk:Cork (disambiguation). ENeville 04:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
The result of the debate was No consensus. I think that a fairly strong case is made for making Cork a dab page (rather than related with material only), but I'm reluctant to proclaim that a consensus per its definition of "the solution that all sides equally disagree with". There are precedents and NCs on all sides, and it's unclear which should apply. Since incoming links (another issue to take car of) now also seem sorted out, I'll apply the "don't fix if ain't broken principle" for now. Duja ► 15:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Cork (material) → Cork — The material is the the first meaning that comes to mind for most people, if they're even aware of more than one meaning. Furthermore, even in the confines of the Cork (city) talk page, people already use the disambiguation "Cork City" to distinguish this meaning from County Cork. ENeville 04:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The use of the word "cork" to refer to a city is far less prominent than the material. Those voters who live near the city, many of whom seem to have turned out for this vote, should consider more widespread English usage instead of making selfish choices that degrade the encyclopedia. -- Yath 00:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to mention, and this is probably obvious, that I'm not familiar with the process of contested moves such as this. I hope my handling of the proposal hasn't brought offense; and I think the merits of the move shouldn't be constrained by the ideas I offered in proposing the move. Regarding discussion thus far, specifically the anologs of other city names, I think that they happen to avoid direct language conflicts, eg "nice" is a descriptor and more likely to find its way into Wikipedia under Niceness, Kindness, or some such. Alternatively, with Limerick, I was under the impression that limerick derived from Limerick, so the logic of the city's primacy in nomenclature seems comparatively intuitive.

I also think Hue, Vietnam (pop. 350,000), is an example unless one knows how to type ế. ENeville 02:27, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the google rankings, I don't see how you can divorce the "Cork City" hits from the "Cork County" hits. Which is a very relevant distinction. On whatlinkshere, there are 1100 inlinks to city and 800 to county; pretty close. If there were no other convention, then Cork would already be a disambiguation page even without cork (material) to contend with. However, the overriding convention appears to be ( Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles)#Disambiguation of locations in Ireland): Where a town and county have the same name, the county article should be named as County Countyname, and the town should be located at County/townname (if no further disambiguation is needed). For example, Sligo and County Sligo. It's only a talk-page suggestion, but absent anything stronger it's unexceptionable. However, throw cork (material) back into the mix and it's clear that it's not a contest between material and city; it's a contest between material, city and county. To me is a clear case where disambiguation is required, as the only reason city is preferred to county is a very obscure and largely arbiitratry Wikipedia convention. jnestorius( talk) 02:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Another point worth noting is just because more people are familiar with a word than a city named for that word does not make the word a more important topic for an encyclopedia article. Probably more English-speakers know someone whose name is "Kent" ( Clark Kent, for instance), than know about the English county of Kent - that doesn't make the latter stop being a primary topic. It seems, at any rate, that the clear thing to do here is to make Cork a disambiguation page and move the current article on the city to Cork (city). john k 12:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I have requested at WP:RM that Cork (currently the article about the city) be moved to Cork City so that the disambiguation page, currently at Cork (disambiguation), could be moved to Cork. See Talk:Cork. -- Serge 06:44, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

"Natural cork closures are used for about 80% of the 20 billion bottles of wine produced each year. After a decline in use as wine-stoppers due to the increase in the use of cheaper synthetic alternatives, cork wine-stoppers are making a comeback and currently represent approximately 60% of wine-stoppers today." - which is it? 67.255.0.230 ( talk) 02:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

I have an issue where the article states that some inexpensive wines use screw caps as closures instead of cork. It would be more accurate to say that both some inexpensive and high end wines are beginning to use screw caps as a less expensive and more effective closure than cork. 71.104.144.57 ( talk) 22:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)James Dwan |

The information in the "Sources" section of the article has unclear citations for the paragraph about CO2 emissions of wine stopper products. Checking the cited paper, it is not stated how the figures are arrived at. The statement in question: "For example, to produce 1000 cork stoppers 1.5 kg CO2 are emitted, but to produce the same amount of plastic stoppers 14 kg of CO2 are emitted and for the same amount of aluminium screw caps 37 kg CO2 are emitted." is a near-direct paraphrasing from the cited Frontiers in Chemistry paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3990040/, but this paper has nothing to say about how the figures were derived. The beginning of the paragraph cites the Amorim paper https://web.archive.org/web/20090913143609/http://www.corkfacts.com/pdffiles/Amorim_LCA_Final_Report.pdf, a cork industry paper with a financial interest in supporting cork production, then seems to cite the Frontiers in Chemistry paper as a supporting paper, but this paper cites the Amorim paper as its own reference. Specifically, the figure on page 46 of the Amorim PDF shows the precise CO2 figures quoted on Wikipedia and listed in the Frontiers in Chemistry paper, making the reference to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3990040/ redundant and potentially misleading by inflating the number of sources supporting the content. I'm not qualified to judge the quality of the Amorim paper and whether or not it does fall prey to its own conflicts of interest in its analysis, but its authors acknowledge it was written without feedback from aluminum industry experts, which is certainly a potential shortcoming, and in general an industry-sponsored paper is hardly the gold standard for science. The figures are also likely out of date from what I can tell even if they are unbiased, as global average aluminum recycling is now generally cited closer to 50-60% when I google it, rather than the 35% figure used in the Amorim study, which would have a significant impact on the CO2 figures since it takes about 20 times as much energy to produce virgin aluminum. I don't really have any suggestions here besides removing the Frontiers in Chemistry paper citation, since it's basically equivalent to a sockpuppet for the Amorim paper, but I thought it was worth mentioning the lack of clarity in this paragraph and its potential bias for further consideration since it left me with more questions than answers after reading it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.240.175 ( talk) 08:54, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

"To free the cork from the tree, the extractor pushes the handle of the axe into the rulers."
However, the image above shows the extractor not using his axe (it's in fact on his belt), but rather a crowbar-like lever tool. I'm no expert at this, but it seems to me that the quoted statement it either incomplete or incorrect. Should we mention that crowbar-like tool? Nic-obert ( talk) 08:15, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

I have an issue where the article states that some inexpensive wines use screw caps as closures instead of cork. It would be more accurate to say that both some inexpensive and high end wines are beginning to use screw caps as a less expensive and more effective closure than cork. 71.104.144.57 ( talk) 22:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)James Dwan |

The information in the "Sources" section of the article has unclear citations for the paragraph about CO2 emissions of wine stopper products. Checking the cited paper, it is not stated how the figures are arrived at. The statement in question: "For example, to produce 1000 cork stoppers 1.5 kg CO2 are emitted, but to produce the same amount of plastic stoppers 14 kg of CO2 are emitted and for the same amount of aluminium screw caps 37 kg CO2 are emitted." is a near-direct paraphrasing from the cited Frontiers in Chemistry paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3990040/, but this paper has nothing to say about how the figures were derived. The beginning of the paragraph cites the Amorim paper https://web.archive.org/web/20090913143609/http://www.corkfacts.com/pdffiles/Amorim_LCA_Final_Report.pdf, a cork industry paper with a financial interest in supporting cork production, then seems to cite the Frontiers in Chemistry paper as a supporting paper, but this paper cites the Amorim paper as its own reference. Specifically, the figure on page 46 of the Amorim PDF shows the precise CO2 figures quoted on Wikipedia and listed in the Frontiers in Chemistry paper, making the reference to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3990040/ redundant and potentially misleading by inflating the number of sources supporting the content. I'm not qualified to judge the quality of the Amorim paper and whether or not it does fall prey to its own conflicts of interest in its analysis, but its authors acknowledge it was written without feedback from aluminum industry experts, which is certainly a potential shortcoming, and in general an industry-sponsored paper is hardly the gold standard for science. The figures are also likely out of date from what I can tell even if they are unbiased, as global average aluminum recycling is now generally cited closer to 50-60% when I google it, rather than the 35% figure used in the Amorim study, which would have a significant impact on the CO2 figures since it takes about 20 times as much energy to produce virgin aluminum. I don't really have any suggestions here besides removing the Frontiers in Chemistry paper citation, since it's basically equivalent to a sockpuppet for the Amorim paper, but I thought it was worth mentioning the lack of clarity in this paragraph and its potential bias for further consideration since it left me with more questions than answers after reading it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.240.175 ( talk) 08:54, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAcuPEzgOTc and https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/cork-wars . Could it be included in the article? -- Pier4r ( talk) 19:47, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
"To free the cork from the tree, the extractor pushes the handle of the axe into the rulers."
However, the image above shows the extractor not using his axe (it's in fact on his belt), but rather a crowbar-like lever tool. I'm no expert at this, but it seems to me that the quoted statement it either incomplete or incorrect. Should we mention that crowbar-like tool? Nic-obert ( talk) 08:15, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
