Talk:Manhole

message: I restored this article to "Manhole." I, too, support society's use of gender-neutral language, but Wikipedia uses the most common name for a subject, not the name that we wish was most common (ie maintenence hole).  youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 01:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: ... this
: utility hole, cable chamber, maintenance hole,  inspection chamber,  access chamber, sewer hole, smellhole, flabhole, ding-dong or confined space
is a rather impressive list, but unsourced. I'm rather wondering especially about "smellhole", "flabhole", and "ding-dong". --Thnidu (talk) 15:58, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

message: "A manhole (alternatively utility hole, cable chamber, maintenance hole, inspection chamber, access chamber, sewer hole, or confined space) is the top opening to an underground utility vault "
I've been a sewer inspector for 6+ years and some of these are alternative names for the chamber/vault underneath a manhole, and do not refer to the top opening specifically.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.114.165.146 (talk) 09:55, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

message: The Dutch page links to https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putdeksel, which is actually manhole cover. Instead, it should link to https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rioolput. I am not good at wikipedia, so I hope someone else will do the necessary.
