== Marine engineering ==

The [[Marine engineering]] article is kind of a mess.  It is currently NOT a part of any Marine-related nor Engineering-related WikiProject.  It is a part of both the Technology WikiProject and the Transport WikiProject—but I'm guessing those projects are not heavily peopled with folks who understand engineering, nor marine technology.  Furthermore, the article seems to be confused about whether it is about the ''operation'' side of "engineering" (in the sense that railroad train operators and ship operators are "engineers") or the ''design'' side of "engineering" (folks who do the ''design'' of large engines, big ships, power plants, electrical networks, etc.).

In short, I think the article badly needs to be in some other project to get it the attention it (probably) deserves.  Thought it might be a good idea to let your project think/discuss it.  [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 01:44, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== [[Tadashi Suetsugi]] engineer - can you help? ==

The article on Japanese engineer ''and mastermind behind the Edogawa River Project (also known as the [[G-Cans]] project)'' [[Tadashi Suetsugi]] has been an unreferenced biography of a living person since January 2009 (which is the current focus month for the [[WP:URBLPR| Unreferenced BLP Rescue Project]]. I have tried, and failed to find any reliable sources to support the text of this stub - which I find surprising if he did, indeed, play a major role in the creation of this huge project.  I have tried more than one spelling of his name. I'm posting here in the hope that someone with better knowledge of the area might like to take an interest and provide a source for the text.  If it remains unreferenced much longer it will probably be nominated for deletion.--[[User:Plad2|Plad2]] ([[User talk:Plad2|talk]]) 22:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

==[[Template talk:Citation#Implementation|Citation templates now support more identifiers]]==

[[Template talk:Citation#Implementation|Recent changes were made to citations templates]] (such as {{tl|citation}}, {{tl|cite journal}}, {{tl|cite web}}...). In addition to what was previously supported (bibcode, doi, jstor, isbn, ...), templates now support arXiv, ASIN, JFM, LCCN, MR, OL, OSTI, RFC, SSRN and Zbl. Before, you needed to place {{para|id|{{tlx|arxiv|0123.4567}}}} (or worse {{para|url|http://arxiv.org/abs/0123.4567}}), now you can simply use {{para|arxiv|0123.4567}}, likewise for {{para|id|{{tlx|JSTOR|0123456789}}}} and {{para|url|http://www.jstor.org/stable/0123456789}} &rarr; {{para|jstor|0123456789}}.

== Engineering articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release ==

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team|Wikipedia 1.0 team]] for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone.  Articles were [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Article selection|selected based on their assessed  importance and quality]], then article ''versions'' (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the [[WikiTrust]] algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the [http://toolserver.org/~enwp10/bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&namespace=0&pagename=&quality=&importance=&score=&limit=100&offset=1&sorta=Importance&sortb=Quality&filterRelease=on&reviewFilter=0&releaseFilter=1&projecta=Engineering Engineering articles and revisionIDs we have chosen]. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at '''[[Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8]]''' with the details.  You may wish to look at your WikiProject's [http://toolserver.org/~cbm/cgi-bin/problems.cgi articles with cleanup tags] and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at [[Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8]]. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010.  As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as [[One Laptop per Child]] and [http://schools-wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia for Schools] to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide.

== Proposal to rename the [[Torque]] article to [[Moment of force]] ==

There is an issue of inconsistent terminology between physics and engineering courses regarding [[torque]]. As the article states: "The terminology for this concept is not straightforward: In the US, in physics it is usually called "torque" and in mechanical engineering it is called "moment".[2] However outside the US this varies. In the UK for instance, most physicists will use the term "moment". In mechanical engineering, the term "torque" means something different,[3] described below. In this article the word "torque" is always used to mean the same as "moment"."

I am proposing to change the article title from the physics term [[torque]], to the engineering term, [[moment of force]]. You can agree or disagree at [[Talk:Torque]]. :-) --[[User:Sbyrnes321|Steve]] ([[User talk:Sbyrnes321|talk]]) 04:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

== Lean engineering ==

I deleted an article with this title which was a copy of http://www.leanengineering.com/. When the article was tagged as copyvio, the author, {{user|Kcschlack}} replied on its talk page that he was the owner of the site and that his intention was "''to remove the content on www.leanengineering.com and move it to Wikipedia.''" See [[User talk:Kcschlack#Lean Engineering]] for the advice I gave him: I think there is the possibility of an article here, but I have doubts about the distinction from [[Lean manufacturing]] and about whether the meaning of the term is sufficiently well established to pass [[WP:NEO]].

:Well its a Patent so its not made up fantasy however the producer should not use Wikipedia as advertising platform. Technically it is nothing new really because its simply a [[Plain bearing]] out of [[Composite material|composite material]] fabricated by [[Sintering]]. I assume this Patent claims this special material composition in connection with this special use but its just an adaption of Sintered bronze, very commonly used for bearings for as long as Sintering exist, which use is based on a practically similar concept of selflubrication. Additionally i think the claims (cite)"[...].chains achieved strength on par with regular roller chain.[...]" and "[...].performance of the final chain product is the same as standard carbon steel chain in tensile and fatigue strength.[...]" are wrong or better put fabricated, most likely by choosing a fitting weakly constructed chain out of steel. Sintering is an very advanced technology with great results but this can not compete with Chains made of forged or [[High alloy steel|high alloy steel]]. In consequence of course an PR-department is free to "fabricate" a good impression with well chosen rhetorics and comparisons to some degree but this may not be used here naturally. --[[User:Kharon|Kharon]] ([[User talk:Kharon|talk]]) 02:55, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

: It seems a very minor innovation, that of adding a sintered (i.e. oil reservoir) bush to a commonplace [[roller chain]] design. Sintered bushes are nothing new either, although applying them to chains was novel enough to justify a patent. It's certainly worth a para in an article on roller chains. If it's justified as a stand-alone article for WP:N, it needs ''independent'' coverage for the specific combination of roller chains and sintered bushes. I'm not seeing that as yet.

[[Călan steel works]] has been nominated for DYK. There are a few things in there I don't understand enough myself to say if they have been correctly translated.

The first [[carburizing]] oven was inaugurated in 1957 and was used for manufacturing [[semi-coke]] by fluidization." Does it sound ok to a metallurgist (in English)?

The journals will have full and free online access to all from 1am (GMT/UTC) on 4th March 2014 until 11pm (GMT/UTC) on 5th March 2014.  Normally they are only free online for issues between 1 and 10 years old.  They are:
*''[http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/ Notes and Records: the Royal Society journal of the history of science]''  
*''[http://rsbm.royalsocietypublishing.org/ Biographical Memoirs of the Fellows of the Royal Society]''

The RS position is a "pilot" excercise, running between January and early July 2014. Please let me know on my talk page or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Royal_Society|the project page]] if you want to get involved or have suggestions. There will be further public events, as well as many for the RS's diverse audiences in the scientific community; these will be advertised first to the RS's emailing lists and Twitter feeds. 

I am keen to get feedback on my personal [[User:Wiki at Royal Society John/Conflict of Interest statement|Conflict of Interest statement]] for the position, and want to work out a general one for Royal Society staff in consultation with the community.

:This reads like a commercial. The pure positive viewpoint makes you wonder why no one in industry is implementing it. The claimed 0.4% effectiveness gain over a common crankshaft is doubtfull as this construction needs way bigger and more Bearings (each common mechanical bearing usualy counts for atleast -,5% efficiency). Sources like the "Upstream Pumping Solutions Magazine" seem focused more on "press release services" than on technology and thus are very likely far away from NPOV.  Besides that the mechanical description seems insufficient.

== Leaflet For Wikiproject Engineering At Wikimania 2014 (updated version)==

Please note: This is an updated version of a previous post that I made.

[[File:Project Leaflet WikiProject Medicine back and front v1.png|thumb|right|550px]]
Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
<br><br>
The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014
<br><br>
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

== Diamond grinding ==

Would this WikiProject like to adopt [[Diamond grinding]]?  It is a newish article.  It has plenty of info but it needs a bit of attention from someone who knows how to write about this sort of thing.  [[User:Yaris678|Yaris678]] ([[User talk:Yaris678|talk]]) 23:34, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

==[[WP:COI]]: volunteers needed==
There’s a good number of people, e.g. [[User:Kww|Kww]] ([[User talk:Kww|talk]]), [[User:TimVickers|Tim Vickers]] ([[User talk:TimVickers|talk]]), [[User:Coren|Coren]] ([[User Talk:Coren|talk]]), among many others, who have [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive618#User:Libb_Thims.2FSadi_Carnot|expressed desire]] to have me permanently banned from Wikipedia for writing on the subject of the “human molecule”, efforts of which resulted in a one year ban on me, back in 2007. To exemplify one objection, as expressed by Coren earlier this year: “You seem to ignore, Mr Thims, that Wikipedia is not the proper venue to document your novel theories.” The central problem here is that this is not “my novel theory”; but rather the theory dates back over two hundred years, with over ninety different people publishing content on this subject: 

*[http://www.eoht.info/page/HMS+pioneers HMS pioneers]

There have been at least six books written on the subject, one painting, four aluminum [[Molecule Man]] statues (one 100-foot tall), movie mentions, articles, over a dozen videos, many debates, posters, as well as college courses (dating back to 1894) taught utilizing the human molecule perspective as a basis. What seems to be the case is that either: (a) I have been mis-labeled as an editor with aims of self-promotion over that of an editor with a genuine interest in a subject (that very few people write on or know about); or (b) the subject is an anathema to many editors (and as such are using the various bylaws of Wikipedia in their favor to block the subject from Wikipedia)? To give a bit of history of my failed efforts to write neutral overview article on the subject: 

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Article !! EoHT article !! Deletion #1 !! Deletion #2 !! Desired neutral article 
|-
| [[Human molecule]] || ([http://www.eoht.info/page/human+molecule human molecule]) || '''[[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Human_chemistry|AFD]]''' (I requested deletion) redirect to [[nanoputian]] (10 Oct 2007) || '''[[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive618#User:Libb_Thims.2FSadi_Carnot|Delete]]''' per [[WP:CSD#G4]] (11 Jun 2010) ||  |
|}

What I am looking for, at this point, being that there obviously exists some form admitable of conflict of interest (being that I wrote a history book on the subject of the human molecule in 2008 and that I seem to be one of only three people, including Robert Sterner and James Elser (2000), who have every made an attempt at the calculation of the molecular formula for one person), is for a minimum of about two or three neutral volunteer editors to write up a one page article (or even stub paragraph) on the subject of the “human molecule” (encompassing its derivative terms human atom, social atom, human chemical, human element, etc.), and I will confide my contributions or guidance of the article to the talk page. The topic, to note, is very controversial being that it is at odds with many cherished theories, particularly those of [[religion]] as well as many secular theories, such as [[life]], [[free will]], [[choice]], [[purpose]], etc. 

My interest in having a Wikipedia article on this subject is so that children, age 15 or younger, will know that there is an alternative viewpoint out there on what it means to be a “human” (in contrast to the dogma of outdated subjects such as religion or other secular philosophies), and that this subject has been tossed around for at least 200-years now.  At a minimum I would like to see: 

:(a) the mention that French philosopher Jean Sales (friend of [[Voltaire]]) coined the term in 1789 as follows: "we conclude that there exists a principle of the human body which comes from the great process in which so many millions of atoms of the earth become many millions of '''human molecules'''." 

:(b) the Sterner-Elser 2002 published calculation for the empirical molecular formula for one “human molecule”, as found in their ''Ecological Stoichiometry'' textbook, where they define a human (a publication which has been cited over 750-times): <ref>Sterner, Robert W. and Elser, James J. (2002). ''Ecological Stoichiometry: the Biology of Elements from Molecules to the Biosphere'' ([http://books.google.com/books?id=MiYA5OIKMlEC&pg=PA3&dq=ecological+human+molecule&ei=Ooe6R4qLC46CiQH9wZHMBQ&sig=Ioi_jgFmQDAwJ3fwU_4_D5iS9mE#v=onepage&q=human%20molecule&f=false human molecule], pgs. 3, 47, 135). Princeton University Press.</ref>

It is my view that the ban of this topic from Wikipedia is equivalent to the hysteria that results in acts of book burning of olden days or the inquisitions of [[Galileo]] for believing in the work of [[Copernicus]]. As [[User:Physchim62|Physchim62]] [[User talk:Physchim62|(talk)]] put in on 11 Jun 2010 "It seems like the witch hunt is still on, more than eighteen months after the original events". I would like to think that there are more than myself and Physchim62 amenable to having a short stub article on the subject of the human defined atomically. I will post this help-message on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry]] talk pages.  Comments welcome. --[[User:Libb Thims|Libb Thims]] ([[User talk:Libb Thims|talk]]) 19:28, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

==Signal processing==
Hi, Is there a Wikiproject [[signal processing]]? I do not see one. The signal processing articles are generally reference free and in need of help, e.g. [[Quantization (signal processing)]] has no references whatsoever. Anyway, whoever wants to should probably start a project on that, at least to tie these overlapping articles (with a great deal of redundant text) together. As is the ratio of text to references is really large. [[User:History2007|History2007]] ([[User talk:History2007|talk]]) 20:49, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

==[[Failure]]==

Failure has been rated by the project as of high-importance while only being a start class article. However, the current article deals almost exclusively with non-engineering related failure. Does it make sense to split the article into Failure (engineering) and Failure, have a section of the Failure article introduce engineering related failure, and then finally write a new article that will deal exclusively with engineering related failure? I think this makes the most sense, since a sizable article about engineering related failure will make the non-engineering material seem out of place and obscuring while the article does maintain, in its current state, a good source of information for people unfamiliar with the various connotations of the word failure (not sure who that would be, but it doesn't mean it's not useful...) Others' thoughts would be beneficial. I plan to begin to update this page, but would like to sort out this matter first. [[User:Schmittz|Schmittz]] ([[User talk:Schmittz|talk]]) 07:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:I see engineering-related failure and related topics as very important, and distinct from non-engineering failure.  A discussion of why engineering failures are important, how they happen, how engineers predict failure, etc., are all important and won't fall under the umbrella of the current [[Failure]] article.

==Moving the comments==
The revamp comment isn't a discussion of the wikiproject page, it's a note concerning the portal page...and as such I think it's more suited to the actual wikiproject page. I'll not move it back to save an argument but I stand by the placement. Do you have any comments on the portal?

== [[Coandă-1910]]  thrust comparison ==

Hi all. I posed a question on the [[Coandă-1910]] talk page which as yet has not been answered and thought that maybe someone here might be able to help. Basically, the Coandă-1910 was an aircraft built to test an experimental propulsion system comprising a rotary fan driven by a 50&nbsp;hp conventional piston engine, argued as being the first jet engine (but that's another matter). This propulsion system was claimed to have generated approximately 485&nbsp;lbf thrust with the piston engine running at 1,000&nbsp;rpm, but it's not known whether this figure was achieved during static tests or while using a test bed at the front of a moving railway locomotive. Considering this was 1910 and that aircraft were typically reaching speeds of around 50&nbsp;mph, my question is what thrust figure might be generated by a typical aircraft propeller of the day driven by the same 50&nbsp;hp engine? There might be many variables to consider, and assumptions made to answer the question, but I'd just like to get an idea of how significant (or not) this propulsion system would have been had it not been destroyed in a crash.--[[User:TransientVoyager|TransientVoyager]] ([[User talk:TransientVoyager|talk]]) 17:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

== Marine engineering ==

The [[Marine engineering]] article is kind of a mess.  It is currently NOT a part of any Marine-related nor Engineering-related WikiProject.  It is a part of both the Technology WikiProject and the Transport WikiProject—but I'm guessing those projects are not heavily peopled with folks who understand engineering, nor marine technology.  Furthermore, the article seems to be confused about whether it is about the ''operation'' side of "engineering" (in the sense that railroad train operators and ship operators are "engineers") or the ''design'' side of "engineering" (folks who do the ''design'' of large engines, big ships, power plants, electrical networks, etc.).

In short, I think the article badly needs to be in some other project to get it the attention it (probably) deserves.  Thought it might be a good idea to let your project think/discuss it.  [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 01:44, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== [[Tadashi Suetsugi]] engineer - can you help? ==

The article on Japanese engineer ''and mastermind behind the Edogawa River Project (also known as the [[G-Cans]] project)'' [[Tadashi Suetsugi]] has been an unreferenced biography of a living person since January 2009 (which is the current focus month for the [[WP:URBLPR| Unreferenced BLP Rescue Project]]. I have tried, and failed to find any reliable sources to support the text of this stub - which I find surprising if he did, indeed, play a major role in the creation of this huge project.  I have tried more than one spelling of his name. I'm posting here in the hope that someone with better knowledge of the area might like to take an interest and provide a source for the text.  If it remains unreferenced much longer it will probably be nominated for deletion.--[[User:Plad2|Plad2]] ([[User talk:Plad2|talk]]) 22:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

The article on [[bridge scour]] needs to be moved and generalized since this is a phenomenon involving any submerged structure.

== Article help needed ==

A new article, [[Flow through cascades]], has been created by an engineering student in India.  The article provides a nice academic exercise on the topic of fluid flow through a series of turbine blades (a ''cascade''), but it is just that, ''an academic exercise''.  The simplifying assumptions made throughout the article render the information useless in the real world.

Can someone from this project weigh in on whether such an article is appropriate for Wikipedia?  My suggestion has been that it would work better at WikiVersity, but I am being perhaps too narrow in my concept of what the encyclopedia is for.

== Addressing bias in Ductile iron pipe article ==

Greetings engineers, I have come here to ask for assistance from editors to address bias in the [[Ductile iron pipe]] article. My read on the article is that its content has become slanted, possibly due to activity by advocates of the PVC pipe industry. A disclosure before I explain further: I work with—and my presence here is on behalf of—the [http://www.dipra.org/ Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association]. While my aim is surely to reduce the bias in the article, my approach is strictly to do so by working with disinterested editors on talk pages.

There are several areas of the article that I would like to discuss, but the most immediately concerning instance is the biased content under the heading "Environmental". On the talk page for the article, I have detailed the issues with this existing content in full. Also, realizing that editors would prefer to replace rather than simply remove problematic content, I have provided new content drawn from peer reviewed journal articles that aims for a balanced view of ductile iron pipe's environmental impact. 

I should be very grateful to anyone willing to review my suggestion and offer an impartial opinion. If you can, please reply here: [[Talk:Ductile_iron_pipe#Bias_in_this_article]] [[User:PiperOne|PiperOne]] ([[User talk:PiperOne|talk]]) 22:18, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

This article is rated "high priority" by your project, but is currently the subject of an editing [[Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Removing_Long-Term_Unsourced_Material_is_Edit_Warring.3F|dispute]] because it is largely unsourced. The editor arguing for removing the content is technically in the right since this is a technical article and needs to be verifiable, but it would be a shame if good content was removed on that basis. I have tracked down some sources on Google Books preview which may be of use, but this isn't my area, and I would not feel comfortable adding references to an article where I am not familiar with the subject matter.

== WikiProject Signal Processing ==

A request in 2010 asked if there's such a project; I think there's still not.  So let's start one.  

At ICASSP 2013 (May in Vancouver) there will be a special session '''Signal Processing Education in the Internet Age''', organized by Jay Unnikrishnan, Martin Vetterli and Richard Baraniuk.  It includes a panel that I'll be on.  And it will be followed by an event about wikipedia, to try to encourage people in the SP field to work on making the coverage here better.  I've suggested that to help make this go well, a wikiproject would be useful; but I don't have much experience working with wikiprojects, so I don't feel like I'm the guy to do it.  

At this point, I'd like to both encourage editors who are into signal processing to join us at ICASSP, and to start or participate in a wikiproject.  Any takers?  [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 23:16, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

== Product development ==

The article [[New product development]] and the [[:Category:Product development]] seem to be rather lacking any solid reflection of the importance of technical and engineering processes to the overall topic of product development.  The [[New product development]] article is focused on the marketing and business side of product development, and at present, the [[:Category:Product development]] has no engineering or technology subcategory in it, except for "Software development."

I'm thinking that an initial start would be to include some aspect(s) of technical product development to the [[:Category:Product development]], as subcategories, but am unsure which Engineering subcategories would best fit there.  Anyone here have any ideas?  Is [[:Category:Engineering]] too broad a category for this purpose?  Is [[:Category:Technology]] better?  Or worse?  Other ideas would be appreciated.  Cheers.

::Tho from a physics view he is right. The only matter that cannot be compressed is what black holes are made of. Any fluid or solid will become a tiny little bit smaller as pressure rises.--[[User:Kharon|Kharon]] ([[User talk:Kharon|talk]]) 02:01, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
::: This is an engineering question though, not an abstract piece of physics. An accumulator is a practical device for storing useful amounts of energy (if it's not both practical and useful, no-one bothers to make them). You can't deliberately store energy in compressed liquids so as to store useful amounts of energy with credible pressures (i.e. is it practical to make one that way), but you can do so easily by adding a gas bladder to the same vessel. 
::: Liquids are compressible in engineering terms too - water hammer is one result of this, although not a helpful one. The point ''for the understanding of this article'' though is that accumulators rely absolutely on the compressibility difference between liquid and gas.

In accord with the above, I will edit the above article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_current_limiter in a more balanced manner, giving fair treatment to these 4 types of FCL technologies: 1.

All 4 technologies are discussed in the official US Government Dept. of Energy publication on FCL, here http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/oeprod/DocumentsandMedia/hts_fcl_110609.pdf even though two of those (fuses and reactors) are deprecated.

== Popular pages tool update ==


As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Labs|Wikimedia Tool Labs]]. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at [[tools:~alexz/pop]], will become available over the next few weeks at [[toollabs:popularpages]]. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The [[toollabs:popularpages/view.php|tool to view historical data]] is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available [[toollabs:popularpages/config.php|now]] (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. [[mw:Help:OAuth|OAuth]] is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs. 

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the [[User:Mr.Z-man/Popular pages FAQ|updated FAQ]] or contact me on my talk page.

==Tesla Model S manufacturing process article==
Hi All

I wrote an article for the [[Tesla Model S manufacturing process]], the manufacturing plant has a high level of automation and uses a lot of robots. As far as I know it's the first Wikipedia article about the manufacturing process of a consumer product. I'd very much appreciate someone who knows about engineering looking at it.

Thanks

==This is the biggest problem==
This is the biggest problem with science articles in general.

Clarification of equations
Equations are elegantly presented, but need to have all variables More cleanly defined, in a table with applicable units would be preferable. Each equation should have information or a link to more information about each variable or function, and sample solved equations (ideally that would be randomized and editable like a calculator)

Check out Linear Induction Motor
These equations like so many on Wikipedia require additional information. Typically, some variables are not easily defined.
Pole pitch. There is no information on what this means, no link, and most importantly, no units. Number of poles... These things are not readily apparent to a layman. Equations should have SOLVED SAMPLES.  <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.114.124.158|98.114.124.158]] ([[User talk:98.114.124.158|talk]]) 15:35, 20 May 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Using your "collection" as reference in Articles would generate a need for payed accounts to verify this in the long run and establish your commercial privat Library concept, which happens to look exactly like a conceptional competitor to us, the Wikipedia, to me.

==2016 Community Wishlist Survey Proposal to Revive Popular Pages==
[[File:Magic Wand Icon 229981 Color Flipped.svg|thumb]]
<big>'''''Greetings {{PAGENAME}} Members!'''''</big>

This is a '''one-time-only''' message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the '''[[meta:2016 Community Wishlist Survey|{{nowrap|2016 Community Wishlist Survey}}]]''' that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:

* [[meta:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/WikiProjects#Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report|Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report]]

If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.

Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.

Thank you for your consideration.  Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

== Category:Automation  <>  Category:Control engineering ==

Does anyone have an opinion on whether [[:Category:Automation]] should be part of [[:Category:Control engineering]] or they should maybe be categorized the other way around?

[[Automation]] seems to have a much wider scope than [[Control engineering]] so maybe the relation should be reversed.

:::As it happens, I am both an engineer (university degree) and a diver (surface supplied commercial) but I have never thought of myself or been referred to as an Engineer diver, but that is WP:OR and therefore doesn't count in the discussion.

== Mergers possible? ==

The articles [[Graphical projection]], [[3D projection]], [[Projection (linear algebra)]] and [[Engineering drawing#Multiple views and projections]] all kind of talk about the same stuff. There are also several child articles that go into more detail. Can any of this info be merged together into one place? What is the best way to structure these topics?

:I can see a possibility for combining [[Graphical projection]] and [[3D projection]]. Possibly a merge with redirect to [[Graphical projection]] as the preferred topic name. The subsection in [[Engineering drawing]] looks like a reasonably appropriate summary in an appropriate place and appropriately links to [[Graphical projection]] as its main article. It may be reasonable to summarise the section further, but I have not looked into this in detail.

== RfC Announce: Wikimedia referrer policy ==

In February of 2016 the Wikimedia foundation started sending information to all of the websites we link to that allow the owner of the website (or someone who hacks the website, or law enforcement with a search warrant / subpoena) to figure out what Wikipedia page the user was reading when they clicked on the external link. 

The WMF is not bound by Wikipedia RfCs, but we can use an advisory-only RfC to decide what information, if any, we want to send to websites we link to and then put in a request to the WMF. I have posted such an advisory-only RfC, which may be found here: 

'''[[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Wikimedia referrer policy]]'''

== Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject ==

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation]] pages.

Members of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation|WikiProject Disambiguation]] have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

== WikiProject collaboration notice from the [[WP:WPPORT|Portals WikiProject]] ==

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{tl|Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found '''[[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Portals#AWB_team_please_tackle_maintenance_run_on_intro_sections|here]]'''.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#Specific_portal_maintainers|here]]''', noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass.  Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

=== Background ===

On April 8th, 2018, an [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace]].  On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]].

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|newsletter archive]].

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]].

For a number of years we have been experiencing a steady decline in the number of administrators as a result of attrition and a declining number of editors willing to consider adminship. Things have reached a point where we are starting to experience chronic backlogs in important areas of the project including noticeboards, requests for closure, SPI, CSD & etc. If you are an experienced editor with around two years (or more) of tenure, 10k edits give or take and no record of seriously disruptive behavior, please consider if you might be willing to help out the community by becoming an administrator. The community can only function as well as we all are willing to participate. If you are interested start by reading [[WP:MOP]] and [[WP:RFAADVICE]]. Then go to [[WP:ORCP]] and open a discussion. Over the next few days experienced editors will take a look at your record and let you know what they think your chances are of passing RfA (the three most terrifying letters on Wikipedia) as well as provide you with feedback on areas that might be of concern and how to prepare yourself.

As I discussed at [[Talk:KosherSwitch#Patent]], I am having a bit of trouble figuring out [ https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/48/4f/8c/b1df4e115e8359/US7872576.pdf ]. In particular, I am having trouble with

:''"FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the present invention including a device having one pair consisting of one transmitter positioned opposite one receiver.

What is the point of the two transmitters and receivers (which anyone else would call light sources and light detectors)? Figure 7 shows one or the other being blocked. Why? 

Because I can't conceive of an engineer who isn't also interested in the religious aspects (and because the religious aspects may be the reason for the two sets of light sources and light detectors), I discuss them at [[Talk:KosherSwitch#Patent]]. I would like to keep all discussion on this centralized there. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 07:56, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

== Draft Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş. article ==

Hello! Over the past few months, I've been working with the Istanbul-based engineering and construction company [[Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş.]] to draft a new Wikipedia article. You'll notice the existing article is ''entirely unsourced'', and there are two tags at the top of the page.

I don't edit the main space because of my conflict of interest, so I'm looking for an editor to review [[User:Inkian Jason/Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş.|my proposed draft]] and update the main space appropriately. I've disclosed my COI at [[Talk:Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş.]], where I've also submitted an initial request to add the proposed company overview.

Is someone from WikiProject Engineering willing to review the request? Thanks in advance for any help. [[User:Inkian Jason|Inkian Jason]] ([[User talk:Inkian Jason|talk]]) 18:26, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

: It's a bit thin and the sourcing is scant. Much of what's claimed also wobbles between too thin and too dubious.
: What's "mechanical" engineering, vs. [[military engineering]] and [[civil engineering]]? Also [[mining]], as an engineering discipline. Because if this is an article on the ''history'' specifically, it really needs to compare against these as a context. ''Is'' it the oldest? If it's so old, why are the professional bodies only appearing in the 19th century? (and are those really the first?)
: If mechanical engineering relies on maths (as the lead claims), then how did it operate early on?  Civil engineering certainly adopted maths in a big way in the 1840s. But this is apparently a big contradiction for such a small article and it needs explanation.
: Some of the sources I'd regard as essential are missing:
* ''[[The Ancient Engineers]]''
* [[Jean Gimpel]]'s ''The Medieval Machine''
* ''[[What Engineers Know and How They Know It]]''
: Also some of the classic historical texts which recorded and communicated mechanical engineering knowledge really need to be mentioned:
* [[Diderot]]'s ''[[Encyclopédie]]''
* [[Rees's Cyclopædia|Rees's ''Cyclopædia'']]
* [[John Farey Jr.|John Farey]]'s, ''[[A Treatise on the Steam Engine]]''

== how to achieve higher levels of utilization at 100% efficiency  ==

Does anyone have any ideas?
we know efficiency = actual output/effective capacity x 100
and Utilization = actual output/ design capacity x 100
Well efficiency is defined as the ratio of the actual output to effective capacity. So in order to calculate efficiency, you first have to determine what the effective capacity of the operation is. Once you determine the effective capacity, that will help you then to know the design capacity. Design capacity is defined as the maximum output achieved under ideal conditions. Design capacity represents 100 percent of total output. Now utilization is, the ratio of actual output to design capacity and gives a better picture of how the operation is making the most of its potential.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:JENNWEISSCONNERS|JENNWEISSCONNERS]] ([[User talk:JENNWEISSCONNERS#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/JENNWEISSCONNERS|contribs]]) 21:04, 5 December 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:No, design capacity in engineering is never 100% because engineers know that no [[Perpetual Motion Machine (disambiguation)|perpetuum mobile]] exists. There is always some fraction where energy "leaks" aka "closed system" and ideal conditions dont exist anywhere. --[[User:Kharon|Kharon]] ([[User talk:Kharon|talk]]) 02:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

:: efficiency = actual output / effective capacity ?
:: What an odd definition. More often it's = desired output / spent input.
:: Fuel efficiency, for example, is very often calculated. The numerator is distance or impulse or smelted iron or some such; the denominator is fuel burned.

== Wikipedia Article on Upwind Vehicle  ==

It seems to me that if the Blackbird wind powered vehicle really could go into the wind of velocity X at more than speed X, the same vehicle on a windless day pushed by a pick up truck at the same speed X, would accelerate into the same relative wind leaving the truck behind, thus demonstrating perpetual motion that we all thought impossible.  If the vehicle actually can go 2.1 times the wind speed into the wind, it seems to me that if the wind died down to X-1, the vehicle would continue to move into the wind at 2.1*(X-1) and then accelerate back up to 2.1*X, limited by the fact that wind drag is proportional to the wind speed squared (X²), while the force provided by the turbine is proportional to Wind speed X.  So a slight drop in the wind speed would allow the vehicle to accelerate back up to 2.1*X and repeating this decrease in wind speed would eventually reach speed 0 while the vehicle remains at 2.1 times its relative wind (2.1*X), again achieving perpetual motion.  What am I missing?

== Healthcare Systems Engineering ==

This is out of scope to me or seems like a misnomer. Unless we are discussing a facility, owned and operated by an individual healthcare company then how can there be such a system?
A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_engineering|system]] System can be defined as a combination of components that work in synergy to collectively perform a useful function.

I see no synergy in the American Healthcare '''Industry'''. Each Incorporation is self optimizing either for profit or not. They do not work together.

Just how should an actual healthcare system be described conceptually? I believe it requires a payment system, a delivery system, a scheduling system, etc. How might a system integrate, with synergy, the American Payment System Payers and Payees, with the delivery system (being standardized)?

It makes no sense to refer to the "American" Healthcare industry as a Healthcare System.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/130.76.112.29|130.76.112.29]] ([[User talk:130.76.112.29#top|talk]]) 19:07, 13 April 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

'''W.T. David'''  M.A., Sc.D  (1886&ndash;1948) was Professor of [[Engineering]]  at [[Liverpool University]] from 1922-48 in the [[United Kingdom]] and from 1920-22 at [[University College Cardiff|University College, Cardiff]] in [[Wales]]. His pioneering doctoral research under [[Bertram Hopkinson|Professor Bertram Hopkinson]] at [[Trinity College, Cambridge]] into flame gas phenomena  anticipated later developments in quantum mechanics and David became an established authority on gaseous explosions in combustion engines. During WW1 he served as an Army Major (Research and Inspection) and in 1915 was appointed Director in the Ministry of Munitions and in 1918 Inspector of Technical Schools in the Ministry of Education. Professor David was a member of the Institutions of Civil and of Mechanical Engineers, and was chairman of the Yorkshire Association of the Institution of Civil Engineers for the session 1928-29. He died in 1948.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Evans |first1=R. H. |title=Prof. W. T. David: Obituary |journal=Nature |date=July 1948 |volume=162 |issue=4105 |page=15 |doi=10.1038/162015a0|}}</ref></br>

== Update to peer review page ==

Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Engineering/Peer review]]) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews. 

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process ([[WP:PR]]) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members. 

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me ({{tlp|u|2=Tom (LT)}}) in your response. 

Cheers and hope you are well, [[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 23:21, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi all

I've been working on a tool for the past few months that you may find useful. [[Wikipedia:Sandbox organiser]] is a set of tools to help you better organise your draft articles and other pages in your userspace. It also includes areas to keep your to do lists, bookmarks, list of tools. You can customise your sandbox organiser to add new features and sections. Once created you can access it simply by clicking the sandbox link at the top of the page. You can create and then customise your own sandbox organiser just by clicking the button on the page. All ideas for improvements and other versions would be really appreciated.

Huge thanks to PrimeHunter and NavinoEvans for their work on the technical parts, without them it wouldn't have happened.

Hope its helpful

== Articles on nuclear reactors ==

[[Draft:ThorCon_nuclear_reactor_-_draft]]<br>
[[Talk:ThorCon_nuclear_reactor#Major_revision]]<br>

Hello fellow engineers,
I would like to see a series of articles on the new reactor designs, focused on the key issues of safety, waste management, weapons proliferation, and cost. The problem is - if we want details on these designs, we have to go to company websites and videos of talks by the engineers who designed these reactors, which by the rules are not reliable sources. I tried using documents filed with the IAEA regulatory agency, and got a second rejection - the data is still from the company. I suggested we put a statement in the lead paragraph: "This article is a brief summary of information from <company>. For more details see the <company> documents[1] and <company> Status Report to the IAEA.[2]"
One editor thought that was OK, but I'm not getting a clear consensus on how to proceed. Another editor suggested that I take an old article on the TMSR-500, rename it, and morph it step-by-step into the article I submitted as a draft.

My time is valuable. I'm doing this as a public service. I have no connection with any of the companies or any interest in the nuclear industry or any advocacy group. I don't want to continue "flying under the radar" only to find my efforts wasted. Are there any participants in this group who have enough interest in this topic to work with me, if not writing, at least helping me navigate the rules? I have read the rules on reliable sources, and I agree with them. I just want to avoid the nitpicking rigid enforcement, for example, when there is no good reason to reject a source that is actually more reliable than a peer-reviewed journal.<br>[[User talk:Macquigg|David MacQuigg]] 18:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

== Request for Comment ==

I would like to see some articles on the design of new reactors that focus on the issues of safety, waste management, weapons proliferation, and cost. I tried submitting one, but was asked to improve an existing article instead. I started making bold changes to an old article on the ThorCon reactor, replacing the lead paragraphs and re-focusing the article on the four issues above. Nobody has touched this article for five years, but my new edits have attracted relentless opposition from one person who doesn't like the changes, but won't contribute anything himself. I have read the WP:Dispute Resolution page, and it suggests I start with this request to the relevant group, which I think is clearly engineering. If you would like to comment, please read the last three sections of the talk page, starting with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:ThorCon_nuclear_reactor#Major_revision]].

== User script to detect unreliable sources ==

{{Main|User:Headbomb/unreliable}}
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to [[WP:URS|unreliable sources]] and [[predatory journal]]s. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts|39th most imported script on Wikipedia]]. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14. (<code><nowiki>John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.</nowiki></code>)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "{{highlight|[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]|pink}}" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{tl|cite web}}, {{tl|cite journal}} and {{tl|doi}}.

The script is mostly based on [[WP:RSPSOURCES]], [[WP:NPPSG]] and [[WP:CITEWATCH]] and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is '''not a script to be mindlessly used''', and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at [[User:Headbomb/unreliable]]. Questions, comments and requests can be made at [[User talk:Headbomb/unreliable]].

== Steam Systems Article Needed ==

Hello, all. I've been investigating the articles on HVAC and hydronics on wikipedia, and it seems to me that there is huge opportunity to discuss steam in its applications for utilities, district energy, industrial applications, hydronic heating, food/beverage industries and laboratories. It's referenced as a kind of system in multiple articles (see: [[Steam|Energy_storage]], [[Hydronics]]) and likely others I haven't found yet. Is this something that other people would be interested in helping out with/see the need for? Even if you can't help, voicing your comments and questions is very helpful! Thank you.

I'm not sure and I think I'll come to a better conclusion after doing more research. I've got a draft in the works at [[User:Ivangiesen/sandbox/Steam distribution system]] that you are welcome to add or make edits to. No references yet, but I'll start to add them in.

== Project-independent quality assessments ==

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at [[Wikipedia:Content assessment]], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments|Village pump proposal]] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|QUALITY_CRITERIA|custom}} parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I am writing to draw your attention to an important '''[[Template talk:Infobox aircraft#Discussion related to Infobox aircraft engine and parameters:|ongoing discussion]]''' regarding the potential merger of {{tl|Infobox aircraft engine}} into {{tl|Infobox aircraft}}. While a previous '''[[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 January 22#Template:Infobox aircraft begin|merger discussion]]''' resulted in the merger of this Infobox, there have been [[Template talk:Infobox aircraft#Proposing a merged version of following Infoboxes.|concerns raised]] about merging an Infobox related to engines with a Infobox about aircraft. 

I would like to invite all interested and willing editors to participate in the ongoing discussion and lend their expertise to help us reach a conclusion that ultimately results in the successful completion of the merger. Your valuable contributions are greatly appreciated.
 

Sincerely, [[User:Prarambh20|Prarambh20]] ([[User talk:Prarambh20|talk]]) 19:21, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

== Engine infoboxes ==

{{main|Template talk:Infobox aircraft#Discussion related to Infobox aircraft engine and parameters:}}
Combustion engines are used in many applications - Aerospace, automotive, marine and industrial. Some articles on them have infobox templates; {{tl|infobox aircraft engine}} (aviation), {{tl|Infobox engine}} (automotive) and {{tl|Infobox rocket engine}} (spaceflight). Wikipedia's wider community has a consensus to merge [[Wikipedia:Infobox|infobox]] templates where possible. Various aircraft infobox templates are being merged, and the question has arisen, should the aero engine infobox be merged in with them, or would it be better to merge and extend the existing engine infoboxes? There is an ongoing discussion '''''[[Template talk:Infobox aircraft#Discussion related to Infobox aircraft engine and parameters:|here]]''''' , which you are invited to join. &mdash; Cheers, [[User:Steelpillow|Steelpillow]] ([[User Talk:Steelpillow|Talk]]) 05:28, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

==Article improving and creation ==
I feel, one of the key article of this wikiproject, [[Automotive engineering]] needs a good revision and copy edit. I would love to help in the process as much as viable. Being a civil engineering student I am unknown of some key terms. In addition, i see the need of forming a new article [[Automobile engineering]] much famous in South asian countries including Nepal and India to flourish the information regarding the subject and make the area of study open to fellow readers. Similar goes for [[Geomatics engineering]] whose scope is increasing and article is yet to be made on wiki.

== Suggestion: Robert Noyce ==

The [[Robert Noyce]] page characterizes the Silicon Valley giant as a "physicist," but on that article's talk page [[Talk:Robert Noyce#"Physicist"?|I argue]] that he was more of an engineer. What do you actual engineers think? [[User:Isaac Rabinovitch|Isaac Rabinovitch]] ([[User talk:Isaac Rabinovitch|talk]]) 15:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

:From his page: "He received his doctorate in physics from MIT in 1953". I've worked with many physicists who made their money as engineers based on their intimate knowledge of physics - especially when we're talking about semi-conductors. Noyce definitely knew his physics and used it extensively while at Fairchild and Intel. He could also be classified as an engineer or entrepreneur but both of these built on his knowledge of physics. <span style="border:1px solid blue;border-radius:4px;color:blue;box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px grey;">[[User:Stepho-wrs|'''&nbsp;Stepho&nbsp;''']]&nbsp;<span style="font-size:xx-small; vertical-align:top">[[User Talk:Stepho-wrs|talk]]&nbsp;</span></span> 08:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
::Of course an engineer needs to know physics. You don't categorize famous people by their education, you categorize them by their achievements. [[User:Isaac Rabinovitch|Isaac Rabinovitch]] ([[User talk:Isaac Rabinovitch|talk]]) 11:17, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
:::Depends on what type of engineer and what type of physics. A structural engineer' knowledge generally does not need to know much about subatomic physics. A typical electronics engineer (ie circuit designer) doesn't need to know much physics. A software engineer can get away with no physics (I've required high school physics for many of my SW jobs and basic knowledge of [[NQR]] when I did baggage scanners and I read a lot but I am no physicist). Someone at the forefront of electronics engineering (ie advanced chip design) needs intimate knowledge of atomic/subatomic physics. Perhaps you are confusing physicist (the general term) with theoretical or experimental physicists (specific fields for expanding our knowledge rather than applying our knowledge) ? <span style="border:1px solid blue;border-radius:4px;color:blue;box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px grey;">[[User:Stepho-wrs|'''&nbsp;Stepho&nbsp;''']]&nbsp;<span style="font-size:xx-small; vertical-align:top">[[User Talk:Stepho-wrs|talk]]&nbsp;</span></span> 00:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

== Connected contributor banner removal on [[Simcenter STAR-CCM+]] ==

Hi! Four years ago I started the [[Simcenter STAR-CCM+]] page, a topic I am knowledgeable about as an employee of the company producing this software. For this reason the 'close connection' banner was added to the page. I just came back to see how this page has developed since September 2020. I'm pleased to see there have been changes by several other editors to maintain and even enhance the page over the past years. I'm wondering if this has now been sufficiently reviewed and adjusted by the community for the 'close connection' banner to be removed, since I am no longer a main contributor? I note that other comparable pages about commercial software don't have this, just any relevant disclosures on their talk pages like there is on [[Talk:Simcenter STAR-CCM+]]. I'd really appreciate it if someone could take a quick look and make a judgement about the banner. Thanks. [[User:DrMesh|DrMesh]] ([[User talk:DrMesh|talk]]) 10:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

:Hi, that would probably be answered better by an more advance person on the actual article themselves, such as when you made the original talk post for declaring [[WP:COI]].
:Looking, the majority of actual content (from a rough look at edit counts and actual amount of bytes changed), you seem to still be the greatest contributor to the page. Its great that it is still being edited by others to make it a [[WP:NPOV]]

::My reasoning for the revert is that Wikipedia is based on [[WP:SECONDARY]] sources which define the topic. If the person is described as an electrical engineer from Australia, then that's what we put into Wikipedia, without regard to certification or degree.

Bruce Jackson was [http://www.audiomeasurements.com/?page_id=2172 president and chief engineer at Apogee Electronics], designing electronic circuits to improve the fidelity of digital audio streams.
