Error with conversion of lengths
[edit]The conversions from metres to feet (or vice-versa) are wrong - feet are shorter than metres not longer.
I’m guessing that the original distances were in metres and they were then wrongly converted to feet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Komaba (talk • contribs) 21:18, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- This is a perfect example that shows that the use of template:convert should be mandatory. Let us assume that the lesser figure is metres and the greater is feet and get on with the correction. However, let some one who reads Japanese double check this on ja:スロープカー. Peter Horn User talk 16:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- On second thought, the larger figure is metres and the so called "conversion" is wrong. Peter Horn User talk 17:22, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- OK – I’ve done all the corrections. For all those slope cars that I could find sources for, the metres figure was correct, so I’ve assumed that applies to all of them. (Nothing in Japan is ever measured in feet anyway.)Komaba (talk) 10:05, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

World wide
[edit]World wide is meaningless here as these installations do not appeat to exist outside of Japan and Korea. Peter Horn User talk 19:32, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
two rail slope car
[edit]I added the "Hamyang Daebongsan monorail" to the list of systems. This clearly has two rails and a rack between them but is otherwise very similar to all the monorail systems. (Obviously it is even called a "monorail"!) As the running surfaces are square it is not a rack railway. I think it belongs here. Tjej (talk) 06:42, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
