[edit] This page is now nonsense, as a result of merging two pages
Despite my objection to merging two good pages have been reduced to one article of nonsense. The title of this article is 'Weighting Curve', not 'A-Weighting', and as such it should say what a weighting curve is. Does someone out there think that the A in A-Weighting is the indefinite article or what? A-weighting is just one of a set of curves in an acoustics standards document. A weighting curve is any weighting curve, and weighting curves exist for everything from sun exposure to gamma radiation, as was originally made clear. It's like merging 'car' with 'Morris Minor'! A-weighting is just one example of a weighting curve, but a weighiting curve is not A-weighting. I don't know how to put this back - anyone able to restore the original pages? --Lindosland 13:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pages reconstructed with proper meaning
I've now reconstructed this page and A-weighting to overcome my objections above. Recognising that the temptation to merge might have originated partly from the fact that the A-weighting page actually described B,C and D weighting too, I have attempted to clarify this fact on the new A-weighting page, where I explain why it would not be appropriate to call it 'A,B,C and D weighting' (no one would search for that!). Nevertheless, that page is specifically about a set of acoustics weightings only, and this page is about weighting curves in general, which can apply to many areas. --Lindosland 15:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
