Talk:IT Grade

message: Fair enough Editore99.  Micron is a slightly archaic usage being formally discouraged in the 60's.  And since you used the British spelling, micrometre and not the American spelling, micrometer maybe the distinction between a millionth of a meter and a device for measuring small things is preserved, especially in context.  Micron is still commonly used to denote .001mm and to avoid confusion.  I will not undo your change.  However, Micron is technically correct, if not officially. Dachande 22:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Micron vs Micrometre

message: INWIND, what is your objection to this page being labeled ENGINEERING in addition to measurement?  I think it should be both since IT Grade is based on ENGINEERING MEASUREMENT, not just general measurement, like a ruler or a protractor.  It directly relates to the engineering measure of Industrial mass production process capability.
So, please state your thoughts on the matter in the talk page, INSTEAD of just reverting my addition.  I will not revert your revert, but that just gets obnoxious.  But please leave your thoughts here.  Who knows, maybe you sway me.  Thanks.  Dachande 20:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Grade

message: Ok, um, Engineer's Edge seems to have adopted our text for their site.  (See link to IT Grade Charte)  I don't believe when I created this page that I took the text vebatim from EE.  I swear I think I wrote it up from memory.  I have no documentation of this, but I know I did.  And so I am convinced they took the text and formula from the wikipedia article and used it.  No problem but I want to be clear that I am pretty certain that can't be a reference because they took it from us.  Circular Reference and all that.  Just and FYI and a CMA in case they get mad that "we" took "their" text. Dachande (talk) 16:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm pretty sure you are right. I remember looking at that link a couple of months ago when I was weeding out spam links and previously it was just the chart. Good heads-up. --Wizard191 (talk) 17:49, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Engineer's Edge

message: Forgive my possible ignorance on this question, but is it feasible to construct a table in this article based on the table located at the Engineer's Edge website? The table they have provided is in a bitmap format and barely legible. If we could convert it to a HTML table it could be very useful. Would fair use rights allow us to do that? --Dslc (talk) 19:32, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure they'd care either way since, as noted above, I think they stole the text of the wikipedia article verbatim for that page.  I'm not saying we should steal it back, so to say, but I think if we created a table, similar to theirs, using the formula above, it'd be a new creation.  COPYING their bitmap is questionable, creating your own table seems fine.  Just my two cents.  Dachande (talk) 20:18, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Table of tolerance grades

message: I've added a table with the actual data values from ISO 286-1:2010.   I think this resolves a number of issues raised above. Burt Harris (talk) 18:16, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
