Talk:List of telegraph stations

Untitled
G'day Guys Personally I feel this article contributes nothing to Wikipedia and disperses material which would be better gathered elsewhere. It is quite Australia centric, yet we have a core of a good article already History of telegraphy in Australia and most of the Australian content would be better located there. Again there is an excellent article of the history of telegraphy worldwide Telegraphy. The wireless telegraphy material is beginning to be comprehensively addressed in History of broadcasting in Australia and this materially may eventually be spun off into a separate article on History of wireless telegraphy in Australia (wireless telegraphy was a clear precursor to broadcasting in Australia and internationally). With the exception of a handful of remote inland stations (such as Wave Hill), wireless telegraphy was mostly coastal (shore) station to ship stations (naval / merchant). I won't suggest speedy deletion as that is very harsh. But time for someone to strip the material away to other articles to the point where there is nothing left to delete. There is a vast amount of material available on NLA's Trove relating to history of our telegraph services, makes it easy to develop good articles on this topic.
