[edit] Steam Whistle

Thanks for all the work you've done! The article (which I started over two years ago) is much more informative now. Greetings, and keep up the good work! --Janke | Talk 08:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I reinstated the beer link, it's called a "disambiguation link", and is NOT a promotion. Originally, it was the only article named "Steam whistle", before I started the "real" article! However, if you still, after this explanation, feel that the disambig link shouldn't be there, I won't oppose you removing it again. --Janke | Talk 08:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Just thought I'd come here and say 'thank you' too. I noticed your recent changes and made a note to go back and proof-read at some point. I was pleasantly surprised to find nothing obvious that needed changing (although some of the units (psig?) I don't recognise), and, perhaps more importantly, to read an article that covered a subject in just the right level of technical detail. It's just what WP needs!

There are plenty more steam-related subjects that would benefit from such attention, so any further contributions will be welcome.

Thank you for your comments and for checking the page. The psig term could be linked to the Wiki psig page or could be restated as psi gauge pressure. I am hestitant to convert units from the source literature to SI units. Do you have a preference?

Steamer405 (talk) 21:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Unquestionably, use the units provided in the references, it's much easier to check them for accuracy. There is also the consideration that older things may have been designed with older units in mind, and may well have nicely-rounded imperial measurements but horrible SI equivalents. The 'done thing' is to provide the SI equivalents following (in this case), and {{convert}} does a lot of the hard work for you, although it is a very powerful template, and the parameter options take some getting used to.

EdJogg (talk) 00:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I revised the page to include explanations of the imperial abbreviations and added SI equivalents following.
