Talk:Heads-up display

This is called a "head-up" display, not heads-up. Is there a way to change the title of the article without moving it to a new article? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.162.82.208 (Talk) 00:11, 16 October 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * No, that is the correct name. And when you move a page, it automatically creates a redirect to its previous name. You do not copy over the page's contents. -- Hower64 01:23, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * A little more digging at wikipedia finds that 'head-up display' is the original term, and is still preferred by the aviation industry. 'Heads-up display' seems to be the result of careless conflation with the expression 'heads up', though some people make a technical distinction between the two. -- Orthotope 05:58, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * That looks about right. Though in the gaming and computing industries, "heads-up display" seems to refer to something else, although its name is derived from the "head-up-displays" used in aircraft. -- Hower64 06:39, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Expansion and Addition of Information
Hello, I noticed that this page was a stub and am interested in adding to it. There is a large gap in the history section, but otherwise, what else needs to be added? I can do my best and add images and gather more details, but if anyone could give a a leading idea as to what is important to improving this page, that would be great. -Bulldozer2026 (Bulldozer2026 14:13, 6 January 2013 (UTC))
