This is the main article on a key aspect of German railway operations and safety.

I would like to replace most (if not all) occurrances of "flashing" by "blinking" (of a traffic signal, not the blink of the human eye), because "flashing" infers a higher speed of changes, to my understanding. Especially these: Ks1, Zs8, Hl distant aspects. --Mopskatze (talk) 02:00, 6 October 2013 (UTC) P.S.: very nice article![reply ]

@Kirbanzo: As I said in my edit summary, there is no source given in the article to support the statement that "UK signalling seems to be similar to the Ks system at first sight." (in fact, the whole article has a significant lack of sources for its length, but that's another matter). WP:Verifiability requires that all information in an article be verifiable, that is that they are attributable to a WP:Reliable source, especially for opinions , as is the case here. Failing a source which directly supports the statement "UK signalling is similar to German signalling in some way which warrants special mention", then the content in the article appears to be an editor's conclusion. Although not unreasonable, that's not how Wikipedia works. As such, unless a source can be provided for this comparison, I shall be removing this section promptly.

On a side note, the whole "Comparison" section has no source... 107.190.33.254 (talk) 21:27, 3 October 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
