Talk:Paper embossing

message: Suggestion: The article should have a discussion of image embossing algorithms in terms of computer graphics, and how embossing algorithms work.
The article says that embossing is done on letterpresses, which is true, but it is also done in conjunction with engraved printing. In those instances, is a letterpress also used? If not, then the article is misleading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimstoic (talk • contribs) 18:29, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Category talk:Musicals

message: FYI, I changed one of the parent categories to :Category:Performing arts from :Category:Plays.  The reason is that currently Category:Musicals includes both musical stage productions AND film-only musicals, including animated musicals.  Thus a lot of the articles in Musicals don't fall under Plays.  
I noticed that Category:Performing arts seems more appropriate.  It already includes Operas, Film and Theatre as subcategories, so Musicals sounded like another natural subcategory.  
Of course, even though it seems logical, it's possible someone will have an issue with it.  If anybody has an objection to putting Musicals under Performing Arts, please feel free to discuss it and/or change it back as necessary.  In case of a dispute it goes to whatever the consensus thinks. Dugwiki 20:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Other rail incidents nearby

message: As it stands, the article says "[intoxication was a] secondary cause of the Eltham Well Hall rail crash".  I'm not sure about that "secondary".  In current RAIB terminology, the overspeed was the "immediate cause", the intoxication was a "causal factor", and the booking-on procedure was a "contributory factor" - in the original report, the overspeed was described as the "immediate cause" of the accident (para 95), the intoxication as the "sole cause" of the overspeed (para 110), and the booking-on procedure as "unsatisfactory" (para 133) .  Would there be any objection if I changed "secondary cause" to "main cause" (or "a causal factor in", if "main cause" isn't acceptable)? Tevildo (talk) 23:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The last bullet point under "Inquiry" states "Arrangements for the booking-on of staff should be reviewed"
I've tried looking it up but can't find a definition anywhere, I'm not sure if this means hiring staff, arresting staff, or something completely different or subtle. StarkRG (talk) 04:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Booking on is the procedure where staff report for duty at the time their shift is timed to begin for payment/hours worked purposes. Sometimes, this happens remotely - ie. by reporting to the manager at their nearest depot (or by phone to the depot from the station from where they need to travel from). This usually happens when a driver has to travel to pick up the train for their first actual run of the shift. Plutonium27 (talk) 04:33, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Chester General rail crash

message: This section is confusingly written. Was the freight train intentionally operated unbraked as far as Helsby? I get the feeling it was and this contributed to the guard's forgetting to couple the brake pipes on reversal. The wording "so that extra brake power was available" adds to the confusion. Extra brake power wasn't available because of the guard's omission. My current interpretation of the section is that the train was intentionally run unbraked (though I can't think why) as far as Helsby, where it needed to reverse. The intention was to connect the vacuum pipes once the locomotive had run round because the brakes would be needed on the approach to Chester due to the down gradient. However, due to the guard's omission and the driver's neglect to perform a brake test, the extra braking wasn't available when it was needed. That's my current interpretation after reading it through several times, but as I don't know the facts I'm reluctant to edit. The item ought to be clear on first reading. I trust the guard and driver were sent to bed without any supper that night. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Classification of railway accidents

message: It would be nice if the description of each type of accident ( such as head-on collision ) included a list of accidents of that type, extracted from the List of rail accidents topic, which is growing too long.  This makes it easier to study accidents of a simuilar kind.
The Veligonda train disaster is a washaway or weather type accident, which now lists many washaway type accidents.
Expect the categories of accident-types to overlap.  For example, a bridge collapse due to fatigue, might be classified differently to a bridge or embankment collapse due to flooding.

Talk:Caput mortuum

message: I agree that all should be merged, and the spelling that should be maintained, to which the others should all redirect, is Caput Mortuum. 
That's the British spelling.  Many contemporary oil painting color lines still include a Caput Mortuum, although it is no longer derived from the wrapping of Egyptian mummies, but is chemically similar and purer. This is a traditional old artist pigment, and I am afraid that the old and obsolete appearing name has to stick. Note that there is a tradition of capitalizing names of pigments in the color industries.
Also, if you don't spell this the way I am recommending, then the curse of the mummy will be upon you!   --Metzenberg 00:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: No need at all  ("there are seven-and-thirty ways of constructing tribal lays and every single one of them is right") but the quoted guidelines don't actually say paraphrase is preferable to direct quotation.  There are five quotes actually; 'methodical young man', the surprisingly low death toll in the Liverpool train, the Inspector's best guess as to what happened, his views on the adequacy of current arrangements, and -nonetheless - his views on a desirable rate of progress with AWS. The rest of the report section is of course paraphrase; of course it is open to anyone who feels some or all of the quotes that remain shouldn't to put in the extra work to come up with additional paraphrases that capture the exact meaning and intent of the official report. The Liverpool train death toll quote was used because it was there, and in retrospect there are some obvious opportunities for a snappier paraphrase. Other than that (hardly a major infraction of guidelines), the other quotes surely have a valid Pareto principle defence. I thought and still think 'methodical young man' pretty unbeatable as a concise summary of the report's view of the driver. The last 3 quotes are central to the report (probably very carefully drafted at these points); quoting them verbatim doesn't give them undue prominence and was easier than casting around for sufficiently accurate paraphrases. But there is very little done by man that can't be further improved upon, if that is thought worth doing Rjccumbria (talk) 21:55, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

The effect was that train wheels rode higher on the flanges of the wheel rather than on the wheel tyres themselves, repeatedly forcing the track apart beyond the design tolerance of the track chairs and sleepers.

Grisdale Crossing is located just at the point where your suggested coordinates point (there's still a footbridge there and you can see from the 1910-1913 maps at old-maps.co.uk that it's still in the same place).
