== GA concerns ==
 
I am concerned that this article no longer meets the [[WP:GA?|good article criteria]]. Some of my concerns are outlined below:
 
*There is an "Overview" section which seems to be a second lead for the article. This should be combined with the lead.
*There is an orange "update needed" banner at the top of the "Environmental effects" section, and an "needs update" tag at the end of the first paragraph of "specific modifications"
*There is some uncited prose in the article.
 
Is anyone willing to address the above concerns, or should this go to [[WP:GAR]]? [[User:Z1720|Z1720]] ([[User talk:Z1720|talk]]) 22:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

== There is a mistake. The "messenger wire" hangs in a catenary curve, not a parabola. ==
 
Hanging ropes, chains, cables, if pulled down by a uniform force of gravity, assume the shape of a "catenary curve" not a parabolic curve. In the description of the electrical system, it talks about a messenger wire from which the conductor is suspended. It says this is curved as a parabola. It should say catenary curve.
