Unreliable source #26

"Confirmed by looking at Aqualectric meter" is something like original research? Not a major editor so I'm not gonna actually go in and correct it, but like. Ellenor2000 (talk) 14:57, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... Hello!

I came across the data in Wikipedia, today, for which I believe is wrong. It's about electricity in Slovenia. There is a table that says it is 230V, but in fact it is 220v. It's here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country

I don't know how to edit it, so I decided to just write here. Couldn't find any other possibility.

Thanks in advance for correcting that data.

Best regards, Alja Žehelj (from Slovenia) 89.233.115.214 (talk) 17:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three-phase voltage for Belgium and Japan

In the table section for Belgium, the three-phase table cell says 230/400 V. Although I can not verify, doesn't Belgium have similar systems like norway having both 230 V (three-phase without neutral) and 400 V (230 V/400 V star with neutral)? Although I don't think belgium commonly uses the IT grid, unlike norway. Now for japan, where is the source for the 415 V three-phase (either delta, or 240 V/415 V star) that is supposedly in use in Japan?

I'm new to the talk section, so I will do my best to follow guidelines on discussion boards. Additionally, I rarely edit wikipedia articles so I am not going to make edits yet. TheDIsco00010 (talk) 20:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saba and Sint Eustatius

Dear anonymous editor: Please stop reverting and find sources. The ones I have found did not agree with you:

For Saba 110V/60Hz [1]
For Sint Eustatius, a combination of 110V/220V [2]

These sources might be wrong, but you need to provide better ones in order to introduce these island into the table. Викидим (talk) 20:35, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paraguay

Hi I’m in Paraguay an extended period now, and there seems to be some inaccuracies in the tables. The high voltage plug type is not type N as is listed. the type N has the middle pin staggered from the other two pins, the plugs here have all three pins in a straight line. The voltage is listed as 220V, but in fact most plugs are 115 (nominal anyway). I have seen dozens of houses and stores now, the type C recepticals I have not yet seen a single one. The recepticals are all a hybrid that does both A and C. I have pictures, but don’t know how to forward them. I’ve looked at other sites. I have yet to see one with the correct information but especially with the type A being supported at a similar voltage to North America travel is easier than it appears, even if frequency is lower. I can’t recall my wiki editing account info and I can’t find a link with the correct information so I don’t know how to edit, I can be reached for more info at jrsbme @ yahoo.com if someone can help with editing.
