Harry L. Earle

edit

The correct person should be Harry L. Earle, not Harry Earle (as this person is a football player in England). Whitcomb L. Judson manufactured zippers in the United States. See this story.--Doug Coldwell talk 21:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

picture of railway patent 1889

edit

1. What does the picture show? The box of the waggon/streetcar seems not to be important as it is drawn in thin lines.

2. The structure in thicker lines seems to be a kind of suspension of the box on flat springs on 6 axles(?).

3. Wheels are not shown. 4. At the bottom there is a rail, or rather a tube? --Helium4 (talk) 07:07, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment

edit

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
