I would like to have something about federal regulations for windshield strength, for I can't find an ounce of it on the web. Valerie 18:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should the opening definition include spacecraft? Sagittarian Milky Way 02:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make a separate article about visibility of the driver.

Stef

Hello

I moved a part to the article "Driver visibility" Here we can write something about windshield reflection , truck driver blind spots, everything that eliminates the visibility

There is a other article about passengers car blind spots

good luck to you all

Stef

The word primarily used in the article is "windscreen" so the article should be called "windscreen" rather than "windshield". I therefore propose that the article be moved to "windscreen".--ukexpat (talk) 23:07, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The use of 'windshield' and 'windscreen' is currently extremely mixed. I suggest one term is chosen and stuck to throughout the article. Bagofants (talk) 23:28, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Windshield' is strictly an American term, if Americans are okay with using both terms I would suggest changing it so that 'windscreen' is used throughout. FOARP (talk) 12:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Americans are *not* okay with using both terms, most Americans would be as confused by windscreen as other English speakers are by the term windshield. English bias is a pretty sticky issue in the Wikipedia world it would seem, the talk page for British English being one of the hotbeds of discussion. Some people even go so far as to say mixed usage is good as it broadens the reader's comprehension for terms from flavors of English other than their own. I myself am not so sure, I came across this article from the linked word "windscreen" in an article on Grand Theft Auto IV, a game made by a British developer set in a parody of an American city.

A windscreen is a row of trees planted in open fields to protect something downwind from the full force of the wind. These are common on farms to protect the farm house. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:40, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would including a section on how the windshields are manufactured be appropriate here? There is a note of the macro process from window glass on through to laminate but a curved, clear, glass seems like it would require a specific manufacturing process. -- Greyed (talk) 01:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Windshield → Windscreen — Modeled after inverse of unsuccessful move request here (as in, how it is there currently), and inactive request Talk:Windshield#Move_to_Windscreen.3F, to improve WP consistency among wording in articles. ₪— CelticWonder (T·C) " 20:30, 2 April 2010 (UTC) [reply]
