Talk:Facsimile/Archive 1

Is this really encyclopedic? -- X-G 22:42, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

inaccurate
Based on the article's definition of facsimile I highly doubt that the first facsimile sent across the Atlantic was as listed. Presumably many facsimiles were sent before the telephone was invented. I'm getting rid of that nonsense. Also getting rid of the statement about horny people. Doesn't really belong imo.  &mdash;msh210 00:30, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Redirected to Fax
Why does this page need to be deleted, it just needs to be forwarded to Fax —Preceding unsigned comment added by Borb (talk • contribs)


 * I don't know if either deletion or a redirect is warranted. The article has been linked to articles with unique meaning in 12 other languages. If it should be redirected to fax, there needs to be a terminology section distinguishing the content from the delivery technology. What's awkward is that, unless you are talking about fax technology or the history of fax usage, there isn't much to say. It's not about the image as much as it is about how the image is transported. One could make a case that it could be redirected to the image article as well. Oicumayberight (talk) 19:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

But what about actual facsimilies?
Given that hardly anyone bothers to say more than "fax", shouldn't the true meaning of facsimile still be listed (instead of everything being redirected to fax), more than the mention of "facsimile books" at the end of the fax page. They aren't books sent by fax... :-) --Bluegreen 6 July 2005 00:26 (UTC)

Books
Isn't there anything to write about facsimile printes of books? 82.212.68.183 19:03, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes indeed! I have just discovered that this page has been turned into a redirect to fax, but I think that's a major goof. We need something about facimile reproductions of books, in particular medieval ones, such as (off the top of my head) the Book of Kells. Lupo 08:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
