Talk:Roman lead pipe inscription

Copy edit and comments
I've just done a light copy edit of this article. Some comments: This was an unexpectedly interesting article to read. Many thanks. –Syncategoremata (talk) 11:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I expanded the phrase "80,000 t" to "80,000 tonnes"; is this the correct unit (that is, metric tons)?
 * The 'controversy' about the method of creating the inscriptions is discussed at greater length than might be warranted by a short article such as this.
 * I would be interested in knowing more about the content of the inscriptions; could you add some samples perhaps? This would also offset the apparent disparity in weight given to the controversy section.
 * Many thanks for your much appreciated copy edit.
 * Yes, they are metric tons (=t).
 * It's discussed at greater length, because this is basically intended as a typography article. However, that does not bar it from being expanded someday, but I don't have the scholarly material for that.
 * I will soon include a photo of such an inscription from Roman Chester, UK. Regards Gun Powder Ma (talk) 12:50, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I hadn't twigged that this was a typography article, though that does explain why I found it so interesting. I hope my contribution has helped and I look forward to seeing the photo.
 * All the best. –Syncategoremata (talk) 13:00, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
