Devilly

Hi Bob, You added a citation to Devilly for this statement: "Since then, NLP has been regarded with suspicion or outright hostility by the academic, psychiatric and medical professions"[1]. What I'm looking for is some evidence to support the statement directly. It could be a poll or a statement from a professional organisation. Devilly does not say anything specific about the attitude of health professionals towards NLP in particular. There may well be some evidence for this claim or a similar one in the literature. ----Action potential discuss contribs 14:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Railroad in Afghanistan

Afghanistan has almost no railroads. So a change of gauge is not really possible.

But you are right, 121.x.x.x always has a tendency to sneak his speculations or his preferences as facts into various articles. Favorites are conversion of electrification to 3kV DC, change of gauge to broader gauge and correllation between race and electrification system.--Bk1 168 (talk) 13:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it looks like a collection of weird obsessions. When I have spare time, I'll review [2]
Have fun!

Nordic People want to convert to 3kV DC, while Alpine people and Mediterranean people want to convert to 25kV AC. 121.102.47.39 (talk) 13:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well done: the page you are fretting about has made it to Wikipedia Review. Best 86.182.169.210 (talk) 17:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Argentina (gauge and voltage)

Argentina will use 1435 standard gauge and 15kV 1623Hz.

  • rolling stocks: French TGV Duplex with 15kV 1623Hz engine (from Sweden?)

Your speculation does not make sense. TGV Duplex rolling stock already has an "engine" (power car), which typically takes 25kV AC or 1.5kV DC. Reliable sources say that Alstom will supply rolling stock, not "Sweden". Sweden is a country, not a rolling-stock business, and the Swedish government did not bid for this work. I have not seen any evidence that 15kV will be used - do you have any evidence?
If you are passionate about railways then there are many ways in which you could help improve railway articles on wikipedia. However, speculation & fiction will not help (this has been pointed out to you many times but you do not appear to have responded).
