Talk:Weighting curve

This page is now nonsense, as a result of merging two pages

[edit]

Despite my objection to merging two good pages have been reduced to one article of nonsense. The title of this article is 'Weighting Curve', not 'A-Weighting', and as such it should say what a weighting curve is. Does someone out there think that the A in A-Weighting is the indefinite article or what? A-weighting is just one of a set of curves in an acoustics standards document. A weighting curve is any weighting curve, and weighting curves exist for everything from sun exposure to gamma radiation, as was originally made clear. It's like merging 'car' with 'Morris Minor'! A-weighting is just one example of a weighting curve, but a weighiting curve is not A-weighting. I don't know how to put this back - anyone able to restore the original pages? --Lindosland 13:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pages reconstructed with proper meaning

[edit]

I've now reconstructed this page and A-weighting to overcome my objections above. Recognising that the temptation to merge might have originated partly from the fact that the A-weighting page actually described B,C and D weighting too, I have attempted to clarify this fact on the new A-weighting page, where I explain why it would not be appropriate to call it 'A,B,C and D weighting' (no one would search for that!). Nevertheless, that page is specifically about a set of acoustics weightings only, and this page is about weighting curves in general, which can apply to many areas. --Lindosland 15:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
