Hi Tom,

Please, if you import articles here from Wikipedia, improve them in some significant way over the Wikipedia version. We don't simply want to mirror Wikipedia. See How to convert Wikipedia articles to Citizendium articles. --Larry Sanger 14:15, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Telephone Newspaper

Just a note to say how impressed I am with Telephone Newspaper! And to ask about a recent edit, by Richard Jensen, which changed your claim that these began in the 1890's to "news and entertainment services which existed in the early 20th century primarily in a few European cities". Is this accurate? I don't know what Jensen's authority here is, but I wanted to check with you. As a writer with an interest in another early technology which is often misrepresented (menchanical television -- see my work on John Logie Baird) -- I wanted to make sure the approved version was fully accurate in this regard.

The Théâtrophone began operation in 1890, the Telefon Hirmondó in 1893, and the Electrophone in 1895, so the concept was well established in the 1890s, and it's not clear to me why the date reference was changed. However, these systems did originate, and were primarily located, in Europe.Thomas H. White 01:34, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

Just a quick note to let you know that the Approval of Telephone newspaper is now official -- congratulations! This is a great article, and really presents a little-known chapter of communications history in a lively, informative, and well-illustrated manner! Russell Potter 17:07, 12 May 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for your efforts in getting the article approved. I'm glad to see that others think the topic is as interesting as I do.Thomas H. White 08:02, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

Coherer

Hi Thomas, just a question -- Coherer looks quite good, do you think it would be possibly ready for Approval nomination? I'd be interested to hear your view. Russell Potter 15:49, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Although I'm generally happy with the article so far, it's still being refined — at a minimum it needs a better bibliography plus a sample circuit diagram, so it needs some work before it is ready. Thanks for checking...Thomas H. White 17:55, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
