Remove all neutral wires from switches and show floating bridges in all switches. Also show the ground in metal parts. Dmitry G (talk) 06:47, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to keep it as a simple diagram of how the wiring can be connected. Bond wires are rarely shown in these types of diagrams. Internal contacts of the switches aren't needed, if the wires go to the correct terminals. In USA and Canada, it is normal to use switch and light boxes for junctions. They are made large for this purpose and have laws as to how many wires can be used per cubic inch/cm.--Canoe1967 (talk) 16:29, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've made some diagrams for base:
don't cross neutral wires with contacts of the hot wires in ligth switches, cause it will cause short circuit - I mean, it might be understood improperly by Wikipedia visitors and done improperly Dmitry G (talk) 12:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
