Beckett Ridge
I'm not sure why references to my Beckett Ridge Swim Team are being struck. This is a non-profit group, and they are an integral part of the Beckett Ridge community, just as the Mission Viejo Natadores are part of that community. The description adds depth to the rather dry description of longitudes, latitudes and municipalities that is currently shown.
Have you ever been to this area? If not, perhaps "the locals" should be given the benefit of the doubt.
Electric transmission
Hello. I maintain that the primary meaning of the term Electric transmission is Electric power transmission; so much, that the latter could even be given the former title (but that's a side issue). I can't find a mention of locomotives in first 50 Google hits.
From the same page (emphasis mine):
If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary. However if there are two topics for a term but neither is considered the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is used.
IOW, we don't need a 2-item dab page; a hatnote at Electric power transmission will suffice. No such user (talk) 07:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Try Searching Diesel Electric. 90% + of the locomotives in use today have an "Electric transmission". WuhWuzDat 13:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't negate that "electric transmission" exists in locomotives. The point is, when you hear "electrical transmission", what is your first association (well, if you're not a railway engineer)? I think, and common usage seems to agree, that those are power lines. Since we're dealing with a two-way interpretation, a 2-item dab page is unnecessary, and I added a hatnote to Electric power transmission to explain the redirect.
