Hiya. This article could do with a one-line diagram. Shall I draw one? Obviously, regional variations in symbols would be an issue, though. — ] <sup>]</sup> 16:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC) |

:Yes, sure! I will be using Inkscape to redraw it in SVG format, so a scan of a rough pen-and-paper sketch might even do. — ] <sup>]</sup> 17:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC) |

Hi Bill. If you get the time, perhaps you would care to look this short article over. I put it together a few days ago, but it would probably benefit from a second pair of eyes. Regards — ] <sup>]</sup> 01:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC) |

:Great set of suggestions, I'll look at incorporating what I can find sources for. To answer a few of your questions, I very much doubt someone could qualify on simulator time only – they certainly couldn't at my organisation. A realistic simulator ''could'' run on a laptop, but in general these things are either the users' spare ], configured to run as a simulator; or a bolt-on package that simulates the response of the transmission system and the Data Acquisition gear. The 'difficult' scenarios vary according to the characteristics of the grid, I am sure, though we (and, from my correspondence, also my counterparts overseas) have had 'interesting' times trying to simulate synchronisation of multiple islands for ]. — ] <sup>]</sup> 23:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC) |

==Light bulbs== |

I don't understand why we don't have an agreed upon and accepted multiplier to convert directly from lumens/watt ( printed on every lightbulb carton) to efficiency or efficacy. If there is one, what is it? 90% efficiency sounds too high and 2% sounds too low for incandescent light bulbs. In the early 20th century 95% efficiency was sometimes cited. Higher efficiency was obtained at the cost of shorter lifetime, even back in the 1880's. ] (]) 05:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC) |

: But lumens/watt varies by bulb size and voltage and type. Invariably disputes about "efficiency" are really disputes about the definition. What is the output of a light bulb? Monochromatic green light at 555 nm, or "white" light? That by itself is nearly a 3:1 ratio of lumens/watt. The ~2% crowd are doubtless pointing at 685 lumens/watt for green light, whereas the ~10% are using 230 lumens/watt for white light. --] (]) 17:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC) |

I note that you have changed the ] article to a redirect for the third time in a row. Misplaced Pages works by building ], which is what you should seek before making this change. At the very least, discussion on the talk page would be much more productive. Blanking a page in favor of a redirect is tantamount to deleting it. Misplaced Pages has a process called ] that seeks the community's consensus before deciding that a page should be deleted. Only ] are authorized to delete content on sight, and only subject to ], such as blatant vandalism or test pages. If you disagree that the ] should be on Misplaced Pages, then I encourage you to put that article through the AfD process. This is preferable to repeatedly blanking the page and converting it to a redirect, which is considered disruptive. ] (]) 03:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC) |

: A merge is not deletion. I don't want the information deleted from Misplaced Pages, I want it put in a place where it will get seen. The unique content of the article was moved to the much more commonly used ] article. The article was nominated for a merge several months ago. --] (]) 21:28, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |

You're wrong about GMRS being a USA service. it is also Canadian. Have a look: . Respectfully, ] (]) 03:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC) |
