What's that word list supposed to be? Actually, aqueducts have been around far longer than back to the Industrial Revolution. --Abdull 14:35, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
- I think that should be taken out completely, since it appears to be just an unconnected list of stuff related to industries. The "Exclusions" section makes no sense, also. Could we get some clarification? --Nucleusboy 22:56, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'd be in favour of it being moved to a side page perhaps, as it seems to dominate the article. A few items that are often studied are probably worth mentioning though... ++Lar 02:33, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
- It's a list of things that are often studied? I don't see why we need to have a list of all of the possible things that an Industrial Archaeologist might study; does this mean that Electronics should have links to every article remotely related to electronics, like Electron or Copper? --Nucleusboy 02:32, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Er, I was agreeing with you! Sorry if that wasn't clear. I think leaving a vastly shortened list in the article to give an idea of what it's about (if the 4 points at the very top were judged not sufficient), and then moving the rest of the list to List of industrial archaeology topics article is the way to go. That say I would think that, actually, Electron and copper do belong in the electronics article, can't have electronics without electrons, and copper is hugely important,, but Field doped CMOS substrate and Molex connector and Multi chip module and picoFarad (made some of those up, they may not all be articles) probably do not... if anything they belong in a list of terms, if at all. Helps? Perhaps either you or I should go ahead and be bold and carve the list out to a separate article? ++Lar 03:18, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea... can you think of a good title? --Nucleusboy 20:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- List of industrial archaeology topics was the best I could come up with... if you can think of a better one, please use it instead! ++Lar 20:57, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'll go with that one. --Nucleusboy 21:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

- List moved to List of industrial archaeology topics. It could use work, though. So could this article. --Fang Aili 21:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
This article needs to be internationalised to reflect the fact that Industrial Archaeology is not solely English in focus.
