However look at the patent it was filed in Jan 1997 and although I remember websites in around 1998-1999, I don't know about 1997. I also remember some joke sites where you got a message saying someone had a crush on you then you were supposed to enter the people you had a crush on and what would happen would be the person who sent the joke would get the list!

Talk:British Rail Class 77

message: Copied from Dunc|☺'s talk:
Thanks for writing the article on British Rail Class 77. I noticed you also incorporated the NS 1500 Class as well. I would probably be tempted to write separate articles, as this will allow more detail on each of their respecitive careers to be added without confusion, and also allow the correct categorisation. What do you think? As a note, 1501/E27003 (in Holland) and 1502/E27000 (in UK) have also been preserved. I will upload a photo of E27000 later tonight. Our Phellap 19:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not totally opposed to a split, but I think that there are benefits in having an artice of the current length as one, and the article must organically grow until such point that it is too big to be one until it becomes two. Dunc|☺ 11:59, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well I think the separate articles are a good idea as they're in service with different companies.  However, the categories, since the Class 77 were never as such in NS stock, and similarly the 1500 Class were never as such in BR stock.  A parent category could be created I suppose. --Tony May (talk) 23:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Horrible table colour scheme 

message: I believe that the Class 76 had conventional series-wound motors but the Class 77 had separately-excited (sepex) motors with the field current supplied by a motor-generator. This was probably the first use of sepex motors on a British locomotive. Sepex (with computer control) was later used on diesel-electrics, such as British Rail Class 60. I have not been able to find a reference to sepex for the Class 77. Can anyone help? Biscuittin (talk) 13:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Generally speaking, lists like this must be 99% links to already written articles. if a name is notable, but doesnt have an article written on them, references must be provided here showing the writers notability, not just that he exists. a name, either redlinked or not linked, without any other information attached to it, has no way of being verified as notable. it could easily be made up, and most english language editors would not know. its the responsibility of editors adding names to lists to show notability, not the responsibility of editors removing names to show they are not. ive trimmed some names, added some hidden text for clarification.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:High-voltage differential signalling

message: I understand a need for a term to distinguish "traditional" differential signalling (0 to +5V RS-485, SCSI, Ethernet, etc. ) from the newly popular low voltage differential signaling.
Is there a better term we could use instead of High voltage ?
According to High voltage, "The exact definition of "high" varies but the IEE defines it to be over 1000V."
According to Electricity distribution, "low-voltage (less than 1000V)".
I have not yet seen a differential signaling system that used more than the 48 V used by telephone systems.
Is it one "L" or two "LL" ?

Talk:Random sample

message: This does not describe what is called a random sampling in all contexts: "To pick a random sample, it is necessary to take all the names on the electoral register( a list of all the people who live in a particular area) and pick out, for example, every fiftieth name." Rather, it describes a systematic sampling method, and for the sample produced by it to be properly randomized, the list needs to be random with regards to all relevant parameters. If you want this to be an example of an unambiguously random sampling, you could require that the names on the list are shuffled, or state that every nth name is selected, with n being a random or pseudorandom number changing after each selection.
