Revision as of 01:10, 17 November 2004
Is it a coincidence that your user name is Plugwash and I see you editing Mains power plug? ;-) Chameleon 15:42, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
well no only in that i have always been interested in electrics
the name was a nickname i had a long time ago when i used to be in a resedential school and i had already gained the nickname pugwash for other reasons
then i decided to wash the socket end of a rather grubby extention reel ofc i forgot that the other end was still plugged in surprisingly it didn't hurt that much presumablly because the shutters made the contact area through the water very small
btw some of the anonymous edits to mains power plug were also me
Hi
Hi, Plugwash, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I'm glad you have started to add information on mains wiring. We needed somebody like you who knows about this subject. It's particularly interesting to know how wiring practice differs from country to country. -- Heron 09:32, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- hi im british mnyself and don't really have a huge knowlage of how things are outside britan. I try to represent as neutral point of veiw as possible on the articles i edit but ofc on a subject with such great regional variation every editor is going to be pretty biased.
Yes, it will be difficult to write a fair overview of the whole world's wiring practices, but I live in hope. We started off with almost exclusively American information, so I'm glad that you are here to broaden the coverage a bit. Now I'm waiting for someone to explain how they manage earthing in desert countries where the soil is dry sand! Keep up the good work, --Heron 14:15, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Kontek
Yes, the line goes to the Zealand you thought it did. :) Btw, can you explain (perhaps link to) what an "oil cable" as mentioned on that page is? Thue | talk 07:40, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- nah i don't know about this high voltage stuff i was just reading (because i find this stuff interesting) and i corrected a few blatent errors as i found them
Power strip
Plugwash, in your recent changes to Power strip, you removed the alternative terminology. Put it back! You also need to use capital letters sometimes! Chameleon 23:57, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- sorry if i removed something by mistake i rewrote quite a bit in the process of trying to orgnaise the article "trailing socket" is not another word for powerstrip its similar but its not equivilent which is why i seperated its mention from the other mentions of alternative names "As such is can be considered a type of trailing socket though that term is more often used for single and double cable mounted sockets" but i can't see any other changes to mentions of alternative terminology can you be more specific?
- Ah, I though there was more, but it seems that you only removed "trailing socket", and you've given a reason for that. You do need to use capitals though! Chameleon 02:18, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
it:
You're quite right in it:Discussione:Spina elettrica, the Italian language article (first translated when "Mains_power_plug", as was the former name for the original article was on en:wiki Main page) needs some more information about plug types. I'm going to translate some more in the future. Thank you, --M7it 20:36, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
User talk page
You put a user talk page for a user IP address that hasn't made a contribution since September. How could you memorize it?? Note that the IP address you wrote it on the User talk page of is one of those belonging to me, the Georgia Guy. 66.245.98.219 00:26, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- i found your edit on Talk:National Electrical Code (U.S.) why don't you have an account do you have something to hide (the Georgia Guy rings a bell and its not a good bell to me)
- Before I can get a user account, here is a question:
- i found your edit on Talk:National Electrical Code (U.S.) why don't you have an account do you have something to hide (the Georgia Guy rings a bell and its not a good bell to me)
- Suppose I get a new computer that uses a different set of IP addresses AFTER I register and I try to log on with the same User name. Will it do anything?? (I just feel that I might get a new computer soon according to possible expectation, sometime several weeks from now.) 66.245.98.219 01:00, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- once you have an account then you can use it from anywhere (as long as you have the username and password of course)
- this is the whole point of accounts to allow users to keep a permanent identity which can be contacted gain a reputation etc
- an account is needed to become a real part of the community because without them its almost impossible to work out who people are or what they have been like in the past
- That doesn't look like the answer to my question. My question is suppose I log in now, then after a while I get a new computer and I try to log in with the same User Name. Does anything happen?? 66.245.98.219 01:10, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
