I think power engineers use a great deal of [[control theory].--Light current 23:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

message: This section needs some serious work; we can have a See Also section, but it needs to be much smaller that that list; less important things need to be referred to in passing in the text, or removed completely, as a list this big is just a mess. We also need external references for the article – Gurch 13:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: I just removed it. So external references are the main priority now – Gurch 13:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Title of the Article

message: This is my first participation in editing Wikipedia, so not too sure on protocol. I believe I have discovered a discrepancy between the History segment of this page and that of the Power station article regarding the World's first power station. The Power engineering article states, "In 1881 two electricians built the world's first power station at Godalming in England.", whilst the Power station article claims, "The world's first power station was built by Sigmund Schuckert in the Bavaria town of Ettal and went into operation in 1878." Furthermore, the latter also goes on to say, "The first public power station was the Edison Electric Light Station, built in London at 57, Holborn Viaduct, which started operation in January 1882."
I've only just discovered this and have not looked into which page is correct and I am unsure on the proper procedure for editing articles, though i would be happy to do so. Leroy is brown (talk) 01:42, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, it doesn't matter really except to nationalists and the local chamber of commerce. Secondly, what do we mean by "power station"?  Do we mean a private plant serving just one customer, or a public power plant that anyone can buy power from?  Do we mean a demonstration that from the start was known to be only temporary, or do we mean a plant that was intended to be commercial but failied to find customers, or do we mean a plant that was in regular commercial service for years? The first technolgical <foo> is about as hard to define as the first chicken. At one end of the time line we have the resident of innumerable KFC buckets, at the other end we have some strange toothy tree-dwelling scaly thing that lays eggs but tastes vile when prepared with the Colonel's mixture of herbs and spices...when was it the fist chicken? --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:45, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
