12:0412:04, 22 April 2015 diff hist +111 LaserDisc →LaserDisc sizes: If we're going to do this properly and make the size differences between LDs and Vinyls properly clear, then we should at least use the correct primary units and a sensible, uniform level of precision in the conversions.

14:3514:35, 20 April 2015 diff hist +590 VHS →Tape lengths: meant to add this additional note earlier. I've found a lot of weird running-time tapes in otherwise perfectly normal retail packaging on my hunt for metre/foot lengths...
14:2714:27, 20 April 2015 diff hist −31 VHS →Tape lengths: de-tautologising, and adjusting for -actual- playing time using the correct conversion factors (not basing off nominal minutes length or using the previously stated, incorrect factors)
13:2613:26, 20 April 2015 diff hist +308 VHS →Tape lengths: some clarifying colour & italics, extra exposition, etc.
13:1613:16, 20 April 2015 diff hist +85 VHS →Tape lengths: er, oops. helps if you actually type in all the numbers before hitting Save :/
13:1313:13, 20 April 2015 diff hist +160 VHS →Tape lengths: been reminded of the existence of these lengths by some labels on a VHS sticker strip I just found (still having to identify some old tapes for transferring for professional reasons...). Less common but definitely not unknown on the mkt
12:2712:27, 20 April 2015 diff hist −66 VHS →Tape lengths: hell with it. that just looked plain messy.
12:2512:25, 20 April 2015 diff hist +3 VHS →Tape lengths: it would appear I am not very good at wikitable
12:2112:21, 20 April 2015 diff hist +1,328 VHS →Tape lengths: "equival"? Never heard of that abbrevia. in English before. Use "equiv" or just "equivalent". Also, what's the "(unknown)" bit all about? have now checked actual lengths of DF tapes etc inc averaging -- actual TIMES to be tidied up.
11:2311:23, 20 April 2015 diff hist −2 D-VHS →Tape length and speeds: Wholly ludicrous bit of false precision. No-one is going to actually specify their tape length down to the millimetre (approx 1 vid frame!), even if that's what the "feet" length is *exactly* equivalent to...
11:2011:20, 20 April 2015 diff hist +2 VHS →Tape lengths: Sorry, no matter how you slice it, 3.335 / 2.229 doesn't make 1.41 ... nor does the inverse make 0.71. No idea how you arrived at those roundings (2dp still = 1.43 / 0.70). The relationship is NOT (inverse) root-2!
11:1811:18, 20 April 2015 diff hist +30 VHS →Recording capacity: The way it was explained to me was SP=tracks fully separate, LP=tracks touching but no overlap (=10-20% loss due to tracking issues), EP=tracks partially overlap (=BIG quality loss). The *length*/raw BW of each track is unchanged!
11:1411:14, 20 April 2015 diff hist +2 VHS →Tape loading technique: The drum makes one full turn for every complete frame (2 fields) of video information. PAL framerate is 25fps (x60 =1500rpm), but NTSC is 29.97 NOT 30.0 (=1798.2 not 1800). HowStuffWorks is only a *basic* kids' reference work!
11:0811:08, 20 April 2015 diff hist +166 VHS →Cassette and tape design: There seems a per-minute significance to the actual tape speed, which makes calculating the total metre length quite easy once explained. Also bit odd that VHS is officially spec'd in inches but only metric is used here...
09:0809:08, 20 April 2015 diff hist −374 VHS →Tape lengths: Never heard of PAL VHS >300 mins, neither has Google no matter how inventive my search terms - only finds VHS *DECKS* with 360/420/480 in their name - and this page. If you can prove they're not imaginary, THEN revert this :-)

Don't know where to cite it from, but the original cited document is a just circular link back to here...

14:2514:25, 14 April 2015 diff hist 0 InterCity 225 ...why specify "sigfig=2" when the first number has three significant figures and you're converting to a system where the units are notionally smaller, not larger?

14:0814:08, 14 April 2015 diff hist 0 InterCity 125 →Production versions: As 100mph is the exact figure of the pair, the metric more accurately converts to 161 not 160.
14:0514:05, 14 April 2015 diff hist 0 TGV →On LGVs: Interesting. All the speeds below 100mph (even if over 100km/h) autoconvert to single-place accuracy, so can be left. But this still needs alteration as it's fairly well known 250k = 155mph, not 160... (!)
14:0314:03, 14 April 2015 diff hist −15 TGV →Accidents: hmm, interesting, let's just pop out of this for a sec and see what a hash it's made (or not?) of all those other speeds.
14:0214:02, 14 April 2015 diff hist +4 TGV →Future TGVs: Just as an illustration of how dumb this all is, according to the converter both the 350km/h and 360km/h trains run at the same speed in mph, rather than being 7mph different (after integer-place rounding)...
14:0014:00, 14 April 2015 diff hist 0 TGV →TGV technology outside France: derp. i'm going cross-eyed here. slight slip up.
