Talk:Eckert II projection

The math formula recently added to this article needs to be "better formatted" to match (more or less) the spacing between the both formulas (x) and (y) that are too close that confuses. I have no idea how to but waiting for you to show me the way... Thanks.

 * , as far as I'm aware, that's the spacing that comes with using \begin and large chunks of equations. Primefac (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Fixed. You need to use &= instead of = if you wish to align the equals signs. Strebe (talk) 21:10, 26 September 2015 (UTC)


 * EGG-cellent! You are right to point the Prime and Central meridians are not the same; but that, even truth, do not apply for the re-correction you made, as that was the term Eckart uses on 1906 to describe that... and YES its very close to the modern Prime one usewd on surveys, etc. the same way this is mathematical projection (ergo, the formulas) that have someting in common at the botton of the concepts... but YES (again) is not the same... BUT THERE IS NO ONE BETTER.  Could choosen GMT or whatever but I try to honor the original source the best I can... while respecting the conventions... in that order, adapting could be not the best way to resolve a century-differenced terms and concepts... but Prime meridian fits the original works, and is far better to link to it than a dissambiguation page.... isn´t it?

I'm concerned about the "meaning-consecuences" of some quick corrective-edits that, based mostly on 1st glance-way, that trying to avoid a misdirection-alike through words, prefers to point to a un-clear or undetermined "meaning" that left more room for errors than the opposite, so I'll re-suggest to keep in mind that idea, and to add to our ckecking-criterias, the concern about the possible consquences of our "meanings". Nice rephrasing and resume on the article text, but I've remember already readed that lines "somewhere" and considering the very few references available, so-close rephrasing will require more distance from the old published works. Karma and (c) .... death and taxes...."  Anyways, I like that edit.  Tien Shen Long  @ 21:47, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
