Voters,

There were some suggestions for description changes on the new parts.  Any
support for these changes, or leave the parts as-is?

2871.dat  http://hugin.ldraw.org/JJ_Memorial/voting/2871.gif
Current Description:  Electric Train Motor  9V Decorative Side
   New suggestion:    Electric Train Motor  9V Bogie Detail

32059.dat  http://hugin.ldraw.org/JJ_Memorial/voting/32059.gif
Current Description: Plate  4 x  6 without Corners
   New suggestion:   Plate  4 x  6 Tapered

30250.dat  http://hugin.ldraw.org/JJ_Memorial/voting/30250.gif
Current Description: Brick  2 x  4 x  3 Notched with Side  5 x  4 Plate
   New suggestion:   Bracket  4 x  7 x  3 Notched with Cutout
   New suggestion:   Bracket  4 x  7 x  3 Top Notched without Corners
   New suggestion:   Bracket  4 x  7 x  3 with Cutout and Top Notch


I would like to point out that the suggestion below is not workable. The word
"Plants" in the original description serves as the category name in LDAO's VEC.
Changing it by dropping the 's' in 'Plants' would force the VEC to place this
piece in an entirely different category. Please try to keep this in mind when
suggesting new descriptions.
30093.dat
Current Description:  Plants Sea Grass
   New suggestion:    Plant Sea Grass

(...) VEC. (...) OK I own up to this one, and playing devil's advocate here - why is the category plural *Plants*, we dont have *Baseplates*, *Bricks*, etc ? Chris (26 years ago, 18-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
  Re: new part description changes?
 
(...) Either of these is fine with me. (...) The 'without corners' name follows the precedent of existing LDraw pieces: 2450.DAT Plate 3 x 3 without Corner 2419.DAT Plate 3 x 6 without Corners 6106.DAT Plate 6 x 6 without Corner 2401.DAT Plate 10 x (...)
