Paris-style lines

Paris does NOT use VAL system (except Orly and Roissy airport lines)! It uses a different system, older than VAL.

I have corrected the page another time. Paris line 14 is NOT a VAL, even if it uses a similar system. Somebody must correct the language, as English is not my language.

I had called the section Other uses of VAL technology which made clear that this was not a VAL system, but another system using some of the VAL technologies.Hektor 19:31, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As can clearly be seen through the Rubber-tyred metro article, rubber-tyred metros including the RATP stuff in Paris has been developed much earlier than the VAL. Stating that rubber-tyred metros like Paris Line 1 or 14 use VAL technology looks very odd. I will remove this section. --Fmjwiki (talk) 09:01, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

VAL or Val?

Hi, I'm the wikier who is responsible to the Chinese version of rubber-tyred metro article. As I checked the Siemens official site about VAL. I find that they address the system rather than the all-upper-case abbreviation VAL but written as one proper noun 'Val. Should we pick the official one? -- Sameboat - 同舟 08:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

VAL is clearly the way the abbreviation has always been used and is still used here in France, the VAL's home country. Strongly suggest to stick with VAL. Val seems to be the result of some marketing and communications folks at Siemens.--Fmjwiki (talk) 23:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Invention?

What exactly is the "invention" by Professor Robert Gabillard that produced the VAL? It looks like a pretty standard rubber-wheeled AGT to me. Maury Markowitz (talk) 21:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well it was the first one, wasn't it? --Fmjwiki (talk) 23:37, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
