== Invitation to participate in a research ==
Hello Bill. You recently did an edit to the Coast Guard HITRON page I had edited and you stated no source stated. The problem is, the “only” source available are the actual people, such as myself, that actually built the unit up from ground zero. Their were only 10 of us, be happy to have a “second” of one of the other plank owner members back me up on any and all info I add to this page, as, not to boast, I am a subject matter expert on. Please do me the courtesy and contact me direct on this request. I anm older now annd a dinosaur when it comes to a lot of computer and Wiki protocols so please, not to excuse my lack of this knowledge, but trying the best I can do as I always do through a 32yr military career. Appreciate your time. Charlie ] (]) 02:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

:No worries. I've mixed up diffs plenty of times myself. At first I wasn't sure what had happened, but once I looked at you userpage, talk page, and recent contributions, I figured it was probably a mistake. I just made my edit as clear as possible (on then second try!), and moved on. I'm glad that you realized your mistake, and that you let me know. Take care. ] (]) 07:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

== GE90 ==
hi bilcat, can you point me to the MOS where it is written that gaps are not allowed as thousands separators? the one i know: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Numbers states: "In general, digits should be grouped and separated either by commas or by narrow gaps (never a period/full point)." --] (]) 09:48, 24 September 2023 (UTC)


I just changed some of the info to be more consistent with the ]. For instance the 777-300 was never ordered with the GE90, so that combination was never certified with the FAA. Also, the production 777F is often more specifically referred to as the 777-200LRF, in order to distinguish it from the 777-300ERSF conversion. ] (]) 03:27, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
:Sorry, I misspoke. However, there's no reason to change from one style to another, per the ] principle. ] (]) 21:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)


== Nomination of ] for deletion ==
interesting, ] is contradicting ], but at least it lists strong national ties as acceptable, and reduce ambiguity as acceptable. this article has quite some comma numbers, sources are central europe where the comma is different. this then led to wrong contents like (destilled a little to make it more obvious) "it is 9.10 m long, then they added 1.5 which made it 10.25 m". i at least fall for the same, not calculating correctly any more if i see commas all over the place. so i replaced the commas with gaps (or nothing when the numbers where 4 digits) and the ambiguity was gone. would this be ok for you as well? --] (]) 23:43, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

oh, wow, a discussion if commas are allowed for numbers in SI. i mean, if i'd work for tesla where distances are calculated to avoid running the car over a person or not i would insist alike. on wikipedia that risk does not exist. the original reason i got into this topic is screen readers. one of my colleagues is blind, and he demonstrated his piece with proudness. 2,200 was read "two comma two hundred" while it read 2200 as "2 thousand 2 hundred". i was experimenting with different ways to have both, less ambigous reading for blind and thousands separator at the same time. the best i could find was narrow gaps. in wikipedia they do not show up as a narrow gap character on screen, it is an invisible space produced via ]. the screen reader sees 2200, while our eyes see a grouping 2 200. i keep the knowledge in mind, and when i do something i put gaps in as well. for this airplane, historic, i would not have done it normally, blind people reading such articles is just too rare (i think). here it was because visually ok people did not calculate correctly any more with all these commas. my personal preference is SI because, as an engineer, i like the connection of the base units with its derived units, a graph can be seen . but not everybody has the same taste, and it's ok :) --] (]) 04:34, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
:I'm a screen reader user and this conversation was brought to my attention. I assume your friend was using a German ] (and screen reader) to read out the numbers. Speech synthesisers/screen readers change how they read number separators depending on which language is used. If you use a German synth to read an English page, you're asking for trouble (and vice versa). Please don't change number separators like this. ] (]) 08:33, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
very cool {{ping|Graham87}} to look at this! i saw from your homepage that you use jaws as screenreader. what speech synthesiser are you using, and how happy is it with the following numbers? this one is with gaps: {{gaps|1|234|444.245|1}}, this one with american style: 1,234,444.245,1, 3 further examples using international varieties: recent german, 1.234.444,245.1, arabic separators: 1٬234٬444.245٬1 (UTF-8 taken from here: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+066C), old german handwriting: 1'234'444,245'1, using quote as the arabic separator is difficult to type, especially with currencies alo written with dot, 1'234'444.245'1 (this prevailed in switzerland, and many programming languages). modern programming languages like ] also allow 1_234_444.245_1. i never used long numbers after the comma, so wrote it the first time now with separators. ] (]) 01:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

GE90

I just changed some of the info to be more consistent with the Boeing 777. For instance the 777-300 was never ordered with the GE90, so that combination was never certified with the FAA. Also, the production 777F is often more specifically referred to as the 777-200LRF, in order to distinguish it from the 777-300ERSF conversion. 24.206.65.142 (talk) 03:27, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
