Talk:A1 road (Northern Ireland)

message: Is it true that the M1 motorway was supposed to continue south to Dublin rather than west to Dungannon, and that the decision to complete the motorway as it is now was political? Certainly it is rather hard to believe that there isn't some reason why one has to use such a sub-standard road from the Sprucefield roundabout to Newry.
It's rather interesting too that the new cross-border road will only be motorway south of the border (M1) becoming merely "dual-carriageway" in the North.
Oh well, at least the vast majority of the Dublin-Belfast route will be motorway soon.
Anyways - if there's any actual background info on why the M1 (NI) follows the route it does rather than down to Newry - it should be added to the article.

message: I was going to suggest that the name of the article be changed to "electrical conductor" because "conductor (material)" could also refer to conductors of heat and it would allow us to get rid of the parentheses. However, I found out there's an article called electrical conduction, which could cover electrical conductors. So should the article stay the same, have its name changed to "electrical conductor", or be merged into electrical conduction? -- Kjkolb 08:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The reduction potential, E°′, of −0.66 V is for the redox couple [SO2]−/[HSO3]−. The cited Eur. J. Chem. article notes that above 10 nM, the [SO2]− species exists as a dimer, i.e., [S2O4]2−, and that the midpoint potential increases with increasing dithionite concentration: ΔEm/Δlog([S2O42−]) = 29 mV.

Olympic Studios' sound mixing desks were a creation of the maintenance staff and built specially for the studios. They became known as Olympic desks and were developed by Dick Swettenham, Keith Grant, and later Jim McBride in conjunction with Jim Dowler. Swettenham later started to manufacture the consoles commercially as Helios desks. The first desk of this type was commissioned by Grant as Helios One for studio Two. Olympic desks and their Helios spin-offs are still highly regarded and sought-after for their sonic qualities today.

thread_title:  Missing DC9- 14 Accident in article 

message: I cannot edit the title, though logged in.
After Doughlas Aircraft Co. merged with McDonnell Aircraft Corp. on  April 28, 1967 as the McDonnell Doughlas Corp., the plane continued to be manufactured as the Douglas (Commercial) DC-9 until the next generation in 1980, at which time it was renamed the MD-80.  Contrary to the title, therefore, there never was a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 per se; there was the Douglas DC-9, followed decades later by the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 variant. EarlRSutton (talk) 03:40, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Aircraft article title s can be both simple and complicated, but in the end it's generally just an editorial decision. In this case, the DC-9 was produced for the longest time after the merger, so we've used "McDonnell Douglas". That said, aircraft article titles on Wikipedia can be very inconsistent. Lockheed/Lockheed Martin have produced the F-16 for 30 years, but it's still titled under General Dynamics, with several failed move requests. Aircraft articles have a tendency to stay at their original title in cases like these, as it hard to build a clear consensus to move them. BilCat (talk) 04:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

*Removing all information not needed for disambiguation
*Un-linking all words that do not disambiguate Saxon
*Removing final punctuation from dab list items
*Removing unnecessary pipings in favour of just linking the article name
