Edit warring by West-in-hause

[edit]

@West-in-hause, you've violated WP:3RR numerous times in the last few hours. Other users have attempted to correct your perceived issues with the page, including my own attempt to fix a "citation issue" which you reverted without comment. In good faith, I'm hoping you can fully articulate whatever specific issues you have with the page so that they can be worked out here, before we need to escalate this to WP:AN3.

For posterity, noting that your edits here and here both broke the page + were not properly previewed. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 00:23, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article in need of updating?

[edit]

I don't have enough knowledge to actually do the update myself, but it seems that there a battery company now called "Westinghouse Battery" that uses the same logo as the now defunct power company, implying that it's either the same company or someone bought the branding. 2601:CA:8501:7C50:7836:2654:8325:AACE (talk) 19:00, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

amplifying a source

[edit]

The source says "gave Westinghouse the incentive", while the editor amplified that into "served as the driving force for Westinghouse". There's a difference, and the amplification is not supported by the given source TEDickey (talk) 01:17, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lighting systems

[edit]

This edit was incorrect. Stanley's Great Barrington transformer based lighting system was operational in March of 1886 [1] and Ganz/Rome system was functional in October of 1886[2]. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 13:47, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You compared apples with oranges. Stanley built a short lived temporary small-scale demonstrative system at Great Barrington with imported small generator and imported lamps, in contrast the Ganz company built a long term big coal powerplant for a metropolis with ganz boilers and huge Ganz turbogenerators Ganz transformers Ganz arc lamps for street lights in Rome.
