replies: text: I've merged all of the stub articles into this one. I'm going to *try* and clean it up some and then merge all of the terms from the gear article into here. Wizard191 (talk) 19:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merging

message: This page is difficult to read due to each definition referencing atleast one other definition on the page, it would be nice to have each definition written in non-technical english so this list can be read as a list rather than needing to read the whole article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.203.8.185 (talk) 00:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The last sentence in this section appears to refer to dentistry. In addition, it seems to be non-encyclopedic in tone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.209.73.77 (talk) 12:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crowned Teeth 

message: Why should we limit this article to the "production" terminology of gears? It's far easier to just include the terminology of all gears, production or not. In my mind, there is no reason to separate the two. Wizard191 (talk) 14:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Production" terminology 

message: The Standard Pitch Diameter/Standard Reference Pitch Diameter section is all messed up: Duplicate, inconsistent (d vs D), doesn't define d/D, etc. I don't have access to the original reference, so I can't correct it.108.213.76.24 (talk) 15:19, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pitch Diameter section botched

message: These definitions were either in error or somewhat difficult to understand. I edited these sections for a clearer understanding of these terms and added the formulae that define them. I listed the Machinist's Handbook as my source, but there are many others. The Machinist's Handbook is used by many of the people who actually make gears so it should be a good reference. I was not aware of how to make reference to it a second or third time without creating three instances of it in the list of citations. If anyone can correct this I would be appreciative.

thread_title:  A bit of a problem 

message: This article should include the common "z" nomenclature. I would write it, but I don't know the correct language to use and the Internet seems split almost 50/50.
Do I write "48z" or "48Z" or "z48" or "Z48"? I see all used. The first seems the most sensible to me, but I'm no mech-e.
Do I write "48-tooth-gear" or "48-tooth gear" or "48 tooth gear" or "48-teeth-gear" or "48-teeth" gear" or "48 teeth gear"? I think I've seen every variation, including one site which uses a near 50/50 mix of "tooth" and "teeth" forcing users to search for everything twice. Anyway, my vote is for the 2nd of the 6 choices.
