Talk:Radio communication system

Why is this "nonsense"? J. D. Redding 15:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Because of the premise in the lead sentence, as discussed at Talk:Invention_of_radio It would be easily recognized as nonsense by anyone who has ever built a simple radio receiver with a single tuned circuit (or none, for that matter).  It's not supported by the source.  And it's really just spillover from an edit dispute.  There are plenty of other articles on radio communications, are there not?  If not, create an article based on a sensible premise, not on an error that's being rejected elsewhere. Dicklyon (talk) 15:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

There are sources ... and I will improve it ... There are not plenty of other articles on radio communication systems. Show me if there is ... there is not look around. J. D. Redding 15:47, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * There is not an article with exactly this scope, but since you started it with just content that had been firmly rejected from another radio article, it's immediate suspect as just Content forking. You keep putting back the nonsense, instead of engaging in the discussion about it, where the meaning of the source has been pointed out.  Your idiosyncratic interpretations are not going to yield net progress. Dicklyon (talk) 21:00, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Patent refs
There are plenty of good accessible book sources that could be used to write an intelligible article, instead of relying on old patents for obsolete and stilted terminology that makes the article unintepretable. I removed Hays already, as the statement attributed to his patent was so ambiguous as to be meaningless. Now we've got a pile of John Stone Stone sources for stuff that shouldn't be there. Reddi, if you want to write an article that respects the historical development, the way to do that is to cite good historical sources, not to dig up obscure stuff out of patents.

Speedy merge
Perhaps this should be speedy merged into the appropriate radio article? It's certainly misnamed, but if it's a redirect, that wouldn't be so bad. &mdash; Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * A section in radio would make sense. How do you speed a merge? Dicklyon (talk) 04:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge, by all means. Why is this even here? --Wtshymanski (talk) 00:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Why? Same reason that User:Reddi re-wrote Radio transmitter design: so he could include an assertion that was rejected from the invention of radio article. Dicklyon (talk) 04:14, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
