You really cite Wikipedia as a trusted source? ROFLMAO!

Try a real source - like reports from NFPA, independent laboratory
tests, etc. Then maybe you can have some respectability - which you do
not have now.

I think that Jerry is mostly wrong in this case, but I will point out
that even when wikipedia cites sources, that doesn't mean the source
actually supports what the wiki author wrote. I found an example once
(which I didn't bother to bookmark, but might could find via my remark
made in the talk page) where the conclusion drawn in the wiki page was
the *exact opposite* of what the cited reference said!

So for anything important, I agree, don't cite wiki, cite the citations
found in the wiki. In this case though, I think it would be hard to
misinterpret what the NFPA said.

Not hard at all - especially when the author is not an expert on the
subject, as is the case of most of Wikiedia.

Let me know when you are certified for fire alarm installation and are
installing 2-3 per week on the average. Then we can talk.
