Template talk:Geo-stub

message: Please leave the leading <BR>! It makes pages easier to read and more attractive. -- added to the template by Bill Thayer on 11 Oct 2004
:I disagree: it makes pages harder to read and less attractive.  The stylesheet is there for a reason; the div class specifies the spacing.  If you dislike the spacing the stylesheet specifies, that's a reason to suggest changes to the stylesheet, not to avoid using it in one particular plage. --Delirium 02:48, Oct 19, 2004 (UTC)
I wish people would make their minds up, I'm at a loss as to how many lines to leave before the template's position in an article (i.e. I've been adding/removing lines to the same articles as they keep showing up differently!). Personally, I think a good bit of whitespace between encyclopaedia content and a notice is no bad thing. zoney ♣ talk 16:00, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

No reason for the appropriately named Delirium to be grossly uncivil, though. I'm reverting my edit, but I hope someone will explain to me where these Wikipedia personal stylesheets are. (You don't have the burden of explaining about stylesheets to newbies though, I run a 4000-page website that makes ample use of them: all I need to know is where to get at it.)

thread_title: the merger

message: I like that in the regulatory section you discuss the mathematical equation for determining noise level risk. going from 70 dB to 80 db is not the same as going from 80 dB to 90 dB.
In the reduction section, "...may not BE possible"
Flesh out the administrative controls section. Additional administrative controls that work in conjunction with engineering controls and PPE are:
Training employees on the hazards and recognition of occupational noise
Placing signage in the work area
Restricting access to areas of elevated noise levels
You mentioned a few types of ear plugs, but there are some cool innovations with ear muffs that are currently on the market. While not rated as highly as plugs when it comes to NRR (Noise Reduction Rating), they can be effective. They make noise cancelling muffs, muffs with a microphone that will allow voices to be heard more easily when they are detected by the microphone, and, when used with plugs, can further add to the overall NRR of the ensemble.
Hopefully this helps.
