Talk:CCIR System B

Was the System B was the first formal 625-line broadcasting standard in the world?
The article claims that "System B was the first formal 625-line broadcasting standard in the world." Truthfulness of this statement depends on the meaning of the "first formal standard". It is worth noting that the first 625-line TV format have been adopted as an official state standard (GOST 78-45) in the USSR in 1945. Regular broadcasts in 625-line system (later labeled as CCIR System D) commenced in 1949 in Moscow. Mikus (talk) 23:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I created this article. But that particular statement has been added by User:Steve Hosgood. Unfortunatelly he died in 2014. I think he referred to CCIR rather than the national standards when he stated the first formal standart. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:16, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * To me "formal standard" is (1) either something standardized by a government body like FCC in the U.S. or ITU in Europe or a Ministry of Communications, or (2) something agreed upon by a consortium of manufacturers, like HDV video (Sony, Canon, JVC, Sharp). To me, "formal standard" does not necessarily presume an international inter-governmental body. I suggest either removing this line from the article or rewriting it in a more specific manner, like "the first international 625-line standard". Mikus (talk) 18:48, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * The revised claim needs to link to a dated document. Also, dated documents for all other 625-line systems must be linked to provide unambiguous evidence of System B being the first international 625-line TV format. Mikus (talk) 00:53, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
