I've removed some stuff -

Where cast iron and steel radiators are mixed in a building, they should be on 2 separate heating zones, since the two have very different thermal behaviour, and using them both on the same circuit usually causes temperature control problems.

Is there any evidence for this statement? I know of installations with both on same circuit with no problems.

Cast iron radiators can be repaired using the same methods and materials as used with car engine heads and exhausts.

Maybe, but this article is about designing systems, not repairing them. Maybe it could go in another article e.g. CH operation? I think repairing CI might be an article in itself.

Cast iron radiators should always be attached securely to the wall, as their weight could cause serious injury to a child if pulled over.

Incorporated into rewording of article.
