[edit]

If this is only a list of historical mechanical engineering landmarks as recognized by the ASME, shouldn't that be reflected in the article name? Gatoclass (talk) 19:41, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And that begs the question: what's notable about ASME's list in particular? I'd say we need an explanation of why ASME's list is of special significance, and failing that, we should open this list up to entries noted by other reliable sources. TheFeds 17:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image mistake

[edit]

The image of the Leavitt-Riedler Pumping Engine is actually an image of the Allis engine. It happens to be great image though, I wish it could find use somewhere else. http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:Boston_Water_Works,_Chestnut_Hill_High-Service_Pumping_Station,_2450_Beacon_Street,_Boston_(Suffolk_County,_Massachusetts).jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lansey (talkcontribs) 14:38, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice pickup. I have a photo of the correct engine I can upload. You may want to consider creating an article for the Waterworks Museum - if one doesn't exist yet.--Marcbela (talk) 00:28, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why the move?

[edit]

What is the reason for renaming this article? Taken directly from the ASME website, "Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks" is capitalized and not hyphenated. It should be maintained as such here too, just like Academy Award or Most Valuable Player.--Marcbela (talk) 00:42, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

add latitude & longitude?

[edit]

Should we add a column in the table for latitude and longitude? Then a GeoGroup will allow users to see maps of where these are in the click of a button. MikeVdP (talk) 01:34, 20 February 2016 (UTC) Or, add the lat / lon to the locations (cities) column?MikeVdP (talk) 01:38, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
