The stuff on here is very US-centric. I'll have a think about it and then come back to see if I can add some more international detail. Bryson430 21:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The title on this page should be Master Electrician (Theatrical), as a Master Electrician (non-Theatrical) is a horse of another colour entirely. Yarn.wench 20:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I deleted the part about telephone cords being used as a lanyard, because a dynamic lanyard is dangerous from great height and the mark of a poor ME. Dropping stuff is scary. --71.107.212.156 18:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

In the US, at least, there is a movement afoot to call MEs Production Electricians because the non-theatrical Master Electricians are getting their knickers in a twist. Personally, I'm not sure it will catch on.Karinagw 13:15, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

A Production Electrician != a Master Electrician. A Production Electrician will spearhead the operation and then a Head Electrician will take over the show. The PE then will only deal with things pertaining to that show on an as needed basis, if the ME has any questions, or if a crisis happens. --Lekogm 14:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
