Article development at
User:EdJogg/Steam Portal/Sandbox
NOTE -- have recently created
Category:Steam road vehicle manufacturing companies but now considering requesting a rename to the slightly shorter
Category:Steam road vehicle manufacturers -- 12:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
NOTE 2 -- there is scope for an article (sub- of
steam engine) covering the preservation movement. This would provide a parent article for the new
Category:Preserved steam engines and
Category:Preserved stationary steam engines and a good way of linking-in Live Steam, Steam fairs, vehicle restoration, etc -- 09:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
NOTE 3 --
Sitush (
talk ·
contribs) has volunteered his access to the Newcomen Society papers, should we ever need them. (15:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC))

Research notes for article development
-
ihp and
indicated horsepower both redirect to
Horsepower#Indicated horsepower. This short section may benefit from referenced expansion!
-
Steam bus - little more than general history, yet not shown as a stub
- Useful content added 16 Jun 08, describing how steam vehicles were better for roads and safer than horse-drawn equivalents - merge across to history article and
steam road vehicle (under 'advantages').
-
Steam tricycle - actually covers 'any' three-wheeled steam road vehicle
- Includes a pic of
Cugnot's first vehicle
- Suggest we should have an article covering the development of steam road transport somewhere, to collate all the snippets! (see PRJ's project page!)
- Lots here already
Steam car - includes good history and pic of cugnot's tricycle
- has been used as basis for
History of steam road vehicles
-
Steam wagon -- found (unref'd) mention of use of old steam wagon chassis for
Bison concrete armoured lorries in WW2
-
Entry for Traction Engine on RitchieWiki: This wiki is intended to contain knowledge about equipment and industry.
- Worth adding to other articles and using as a source for other reference material -- in particular, their coverage of TE and roller history is far better than here (so far), although the precursor history is somewhat peculiar!!
- Should be added as an external link on all relevant pages (eg
steam shovel,
steam donkey,
Aveling & Porter, etc - already added to TE page. Might be worth maintaing a list of which pages have links, and which pages are not yet present at RitchieWiki.)
- Not good idea to cite it directly, but it does seem to be based on references and is NOT just a WP mirror. Articles on traction engine, steam engine and steam donkey (the only ones examined) are clearly written from original material and not based on the WP articles.
-
Goldsworthy Gurney article -- Acts of Parliament following from his early steam carriage services, imposed prohibitive tolls on steam vehilces, effectively suppressing development, etc
Notes
Vehicle contains a large chunk about Steam Carriages, which is out-of-place, but contains no other vehicles besides
Steam tricycle!
- UPDATE - Aug 2007 - has been moved to
Steam car.
Vehicle will need an update...
Automobile contains a cursory section on steam propulsion, and the history section is weird! Also links to...
History of the automobile which contains out-of-date info concerning steam power...
Aim is to gather all articles about steam engines and steam-powered stuff into a co-ordinated hierarchy of categories. This is where it will be worked out, in stages, before going 'live'.

Hierarchy
Category:Steam power (use {{
cat main}})
- Category tree
- Missing categories
THIS SECTION NEEDS RATIONALISING NOW THAT THE CAT TREE IS AVAILABLE
-
Category:Mis-named steam things
- ie things that are called steam but have nothing to do with hot water!
- Might be better as a cohesive article than a category
- some would argue that it is POV!
