Talk:William Herschel Telescope

History
Under the history section the very last sentence in the last paragrpah. Quote "The total cost of the telescope, including the dome and the full initial suite of instruments, was £15M (in 1984, equivalent to £36M today" It says the value in Today's dollars.  However It does not define "today" I write this because I assume this article will be up for years to come and today's dollars will change with inflation on a daily bases.  I suggest changing today to the actual date or approx date that the £36M is suppose to reflect.--RichardFry (talk) 15:26, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The statement actually uses a clever template so it will update the "today" value as new inflation figures are released. David Underdown (talk) 15:51, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you.--RichardFry (talk) 20:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It does indeed update itself, but if someone printed the page or used it for some other purpose, it could get dated. I've therefore changed the statement to include the year, and BOTH the amount and the year will update automatically (assuming the inflation template updates at least once per year).

Alumising
I've been unable to find a suitable reliable source for this, so I'm moving it here until one turns up. I know it's true (unless multiple people at the ING and other ORM telescopes have been lying to me), but can't find anything that explicitly states it. There are a few sources which state that other telescopes are using the WHT plant, but that's not quite the same thing. Modest Genius talk 22:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
