Added a Hot Subject
The actual measurement of gasoline quantities is poorly understood and is currently the subject of a lot of loose talk in the Southwest US. I was looking for a PD picture of a dispenser with a glass vessel on top, the type that prevailed <1930 where the fuel was first pumped into the glass bowl for consumer inspection. I saw I could move this subject along also. After four shots, I was able to work an overview into it.
Reorg by anonymous user
While I agree in principle with moving the gas pump article to the more generic fuel dispenser title, and the additional photos are nice (arguably unnecessary) I have some problems with the content changes.
- It was unhelpful to do such big changes as an anonymous user, making it difficult to track or discuss.
- Some content has been lost.
- The restructuring has lost some of the flow of the article and emphasises elements in the wrong way.
- Adding lots of unreferenced tags to the newly created sections is redundant; it would be better to have one entry.
- No justification was given for the rearrangement.
In summary I am somewhat inclined to revert all the content changes, while keeping the move to Fuel Dispenser.
Please come and discuss these points or I will revert some/all of the content changes. Aaron Lawrence (talk) 11:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I restored most of the details while mostly keeping the new structure. One sentence "In western societies automation is now a standard part of service stations" I feel is important in explaining WHY it matters that there is a tie-in to POS systems, but I can't figure out how to fit it in now.Aaron Lawrence (talk) 07:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Sorry but parts of this article are demonstrably wrong. I would like to collaborate with someone to correct them.

- Great! What parts bother you? Do you have some references we could point to? I know about aspects of pumps from my work, but I don't know of many published/reliable references.Aaron Lawrence (talk) 11:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
