| − | There seems to be an impasse as to whether "bell housing" (two words) is the preferred term, or if "bellhousing" is correct (pls. refer to [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/index.php?title=Transmission_holding_fixtures&action=history History]). | + | There seems to be an impasse as to whether "bell housing" (two words) is the preferred term, or if "bellhousing" is correct (pls. refer to [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/index.php?title=Transmission_holding_fixtures&action=history History]). I would appreciate it if a determination would be made on the preferred terminology for bell/housing. |

:I'm not finding a clear answer either way. Some words or phrases have multiple acceptable spellings, and it looks like this is one of them. Same with rearend or "rear end".--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 19:43, 9 February 2012 (MST) | :I'm not finding a clear answer either way.

Member Neighbors can deal with editing to his material if he so chooses. | + | ::OK then, either is acceptable. I have edited the text I submitted to the way I originally submitted it.

::As a "professional courtesy" I'd appreciate it if 'bellhousing' in the text I submitted not be edited further.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 20:34, 9 February 2012 (MST) | ::As a "professional courtesy" I'd appreciate it if 'bellhousing' in the text I submitted not be edited further.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 20:34, 9 February 2012 (MST) | ||
:::I'm fine with either, but keep in mind that, especially with undefined issues like this one, influence over an article is usually proportional to editing contributions. So if it's an undecided formatting or verbiage issue, whoever is the current most significant contributor to an article will likely have the greatest hand in steering its development.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 23:06, 9 February 2012 (MST) | :::I'm fine with either, but keep in mind that, especially with undefined issues like this one, influence over an article is usually proportional to editing contributions.

::::For the record I've found instances where companies have used both terms. Actually that isn't much of a surprise, seeing as how that's [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/images/9/92/Snap1_%282%29.jpg seen often] anyway.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 12:40, 10 February 2012 (MST) | ::::For the record I've found instances where companies have used both terms.

| + | :::::'''What''' I wonder is does Cobalt327 understand that any person on the WIKI can edit any article? The information he has contributed is now a part of the Wiki data base forever and not his personal article only , not to be touched by outside people. I gather this question from Cobalt327's comments on how Neighbors can handle the edits on the information he posted with photos. The Photos posted by Neighbors are also under the question : are they copy righted material. They need further research | ||
| + | :::::I prefer bell housing and '''will edit any item''' on the Wiki I decide to. '''Where''' do we stop the discussion on terminology ? As an example Is it '''disc''' brakes or '''disk''' brakes? | ||
| − | + | :::::As for accuracy and the good of the Wiki... the words bell housing or bellhousing , I hope that would not confuse people. Both are accurate and convey the same meaning. | |

I also question the use of the fixture suggested by Neighbors. If not properly supported the bell housing will crack under the weight of the transmission.--[[User:Crosley|Crosley]] 17:16, 10 February 2012 (MST) |
