B

This article has been rated as B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

???

This article has not yet received a rating on the project's importance scale.

A peer review with no feedback is of little help, if there is no indication of the short fall. In which respect is it deficient?

I have read the 'good article' criteria.

All I can think of is elementary calculus puts it beyond the 'average user'. It is difficult therefore to see how any engineering, scientific or mathematics article can be anything other than uselessly shallow. The general reader need look no further than the preview, the rest is obviously intended for the student.

I wonder about a rail project which does not concern itself with the fundamental question of what keeps the train on the track, and what defines the upper limits of potential performance. Are the 'good' articles no more than lists of engine types, forming as compelling a read as the telephone directory?

In an engineering subject it is not good enough to describe things, it is necessary to explain why they are as they are. Gordon Vigurs 09:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
