Your comment on "virtual ground" page has got me wondering about the general quality of technical articles. Do you have examples of poor wiki entries? --] (]) 08:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== D&S plugs and Wylex Plugs ==

It may interest you to know that I was an electrician in the 1970's who regularly encounterd both D&S sockets and (more rarely) the Wylex sockets in many domestic instalations (The D&S plug almost exclusively in council accommodation. That D&S practically gave the sockets away to developers during the 50's and 60's was well documented at the time). I actually stocked both types of plug. Had you checked the disussion page, you would have discovered that the Wylex plug had been discussed independently of my efforts.

The D&S plug cost £3.95 at a time when standard 13 Amp plugs could be found for less than £1. The Wylex plugs (and I am having to strain my memory here) were IIRC around £2 to £2.50 a go, but I doubt we sold more than 4 or 5 a year. We sold several dozen D&S plugs a year being the only electrical store that stocked them in the area. ] (]) 13:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

== ] ==

OK, what exactly in ] am I supposed to look at as referenced in ? Further, how do you figure the text does not violate the policy of ], and since it is unreferenced ]? Or are you going with the thread on the talk page, which would violate ]? Also, please not that Misplaced Pages fails as a ], so we cannot reference articles with Misplaced Pages references. Thanks. ] (]) 15:59, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
