thread_title:  Disadvantages of JR-Maglev 

message: So, the term "JR-Maglev" isn't a thing.  Nowhere in JR Central's English literature is the system referred to as anything but the SCMAGLEV (all caps) or the Superconducting Maglev.  See: SCMAGLEV and Railway Park (http://museum.jr-central.co.jp/en/), references to the system in their Data Books (http://english.jr-central.co.jp/company/company/others/data-book/).  The only place that the term JR-Maglev is used is on Wikipedia and unofficial blogs and such that are referencing this page.
I can confirm this as a representative of a firm working directly with JR Central in the U.S.  We are told to use the term 'SCMAGLEV' in all marketing materials.  The disconnect on Wikipedia has caused quite a bit of confusion.  
I created a page for 'SCMAGLEV' and redirected it to this page for the time being, but unless there is objection, I plan to swap the names, so that JR-Maglev redirects to 'SCMAGLEV' instead, and "SCMAGLEV" becomes the focus of the article. --Pdovak (talk) 16:02, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your comments about the apparently fictional "JR-Maglev" name, and have gone ahead and boldly moved the article to "SCMaglev". Note that the stylistic "SCMAGLEV" in all-caps is a non-starter on Wikipedia, as it contravenes our manual of style guidelines at WP:MOSCAPS and WP:MOSTM, even if JR Central likes to write it as "SCMAGLEV". --DAJF (talk) 01:04, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "JR-Maglev" 

message: Should there not be at least a small reference to the crash caused by WJR's cultural obsession with speed of service? This article feels a little like a corporate puff-piece on tech progress, with no historical or cultural context.

message: The article has a chart on this without any explanation and even links the term to another article, but that doesn't even mention it. --Espoo (talk) 13:45, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mustard 

message: * How are the super conducting magnets cooled down?
* I heard in a youtube video, they are cooled with liquid helium. This is a rather expensive material and is more or less used up over a certain time. This would be a serious downside compared to wheel based designs and increase costs (which contradicts the original cost arguments).
* The German Transrapid system has been finished years ago and hasn't seen any adoption besides the real-life-demonstrator in Shanghai. What makes SCMaglev better compared to that system? --SaroEngels (talk) 11:30, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
