Talk:Compound steam engine

message: This article is heavily concerned with railway locomotives and has far too little about compounding in stationery engines and nothing about marine engines.  I have just expanded he Cornish engine article based on two recent articles by Alessandro Nuvolari and Bart Verspagen, but feel that I have reached the limit of my understanding.  I have tagged the secion on Hornblower and Woolf as a "section-stub".  It would be good if some one could deal with these issues.  I will probably not be able to.

message: A bot has just added a raft of interwiki links. Most of these actually relate to Compound locomotive, although the French, Dutch, and Russian articles (and the Swedish, at a pinch) cover more than just railway locos and are hence OK. To resolve this will require the links at the far end to be adjusted (when someone has the time...) The same adjustments will be needed at Compound locomotive.

replies: text: I have established a structure- and cleaned a lot of the dross- attempted to make it readable. I have left the history section as a list with extra work needed. I am more than happy to bow to expert knowledge and ce's. Steam engine and History of the steam engine are in need of attention.--ClemRutter (talk) 16:27, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  the "single expansion" takes care of it but feel free to rewrite. I try to stick to technical details i feel are obscure  or inaccurate. Wdl1961 (talk) 18:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

message: ISTM that someone could well come to this article looking for information on turbo-compound engines. With this in mind I added a hatnote  which has now been reverted.
In that we are a general encyclopedia seeking to provide information to any who seek it, I'm afraid I think this leaves a not too serious but completely needless gap in our navigation. Compound engine may not be the correct technical name for a turbo-compound engine, but it's a natural one for people who may have seen the Detroit Diesel "fifty free horsepower"  advertisements or similar and are not expert in the field. Yes I know this one explicitly says "turbo compound" but the enquirer doesn't necessarily have the advert in their hand.
IMO a hatnote or something similar should be provided. Andrewa (talk) 11:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

replies: text:  Rubbish. My research is at least as good as yours. Your analysis of my thought processes is laughable.
