Exasperation

Does a blueprint means a project too??. Does blueprint used for a service design to?as a service mapping?

Is there a very specific reason why BLUE was used? Or was it just randomly chosen?

Poor article. Missing material

This article is completely missing John Herschel, the inventor of the blueprint. His contribution is mentioned in the cyanotype article. The observation of a color change in a material is not the invention of a technology. There were may photosensitive materials noted but the development of a capability is a different act.2602:306:8B5F:7F50:8DD6:D7B:F7F9:46D5 (talk) 23:14, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Last part in the "Blueprints replaced with whiteprints" section is written like an advertisement

The "Software from companies like PlanGrid, Bluebeam, Fieldwire, Okitoo, and others specialize in viewing these high-resolution PDF files and sharing notes easily between tablet users." text in "Blueprints replaced with whiteprints" is written like an advertisement and should be replaced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.234.170.80 (talk) 11:04, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Diazo print use

Diazo prints are currently in use in cadastral surveying in Nepal. Not sure how to add this info to the main page... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.225.98.208 (talk) 08:41, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Click the "Edit" tab at the top left of the article page, and start typing. Be sure to include a reference, as I find your assertation hard to believe. Really, this month, Nepal government workers, are generating new diazo prints? I think what you mean is that the prints made years ago, and stored in the archives, are still in use, and this is likely to be the case many places, where the cost of scanning them is prohibitive. But that is not the same as saying, people are gathering new survey data, and recording it on new diazo prints.

In fact the Government of Napal official web page for the Cadastral Survey Division, states, they are converting to "digital cadastral mapping. Since last few years Cadastral Survey Branch has been carrying out digital cadastral mapping..." I do not know how far they are gotten in the conversion process.

Now mid-2018

Rewrote to be date independent, and speak of the current situation without qualifications. If another editor has a current reference, which states that paper blueprints are in actual use in mid-2018, then by all means insert a qualified paragraph annotated with that reference. But I would be astounded to find that to be true. Nick Beeson (talk) 11:47, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity rewrite

The introduction was wordy, and not clear. The soul of the Wikipedia introduction, is to inform the casual reader, of all the major concepts in the article. I made it clear blueprints were an early copying technique, capable of making an arbitrary number of copies. I removed the part about the later French method, since the reference to this method is titled "Forgotten Processes". It is forgotten because it was never used much. I could find nothing about it on the web. I used the Hershal method as I have a reputable printed reference to it. Nick Beeson (talk) 19:08, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
