Talk:Timeline of telescope technology

Merger

 * With no additional comments expressed in nearly six months, I'm closing the merge proposal as no consensus. -- MarcoTolo 01:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Merge. It looks like Timeline of telescope technology duplicates Timeline of telescopes, observatories, and observing technology. The former does seem to have some very useful expanded information. I propose merging Timeline of telescope technology into Timeline of telescopes, observatories, and observing technology. Fountains of Bryn Mawr 17:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Oppose - in my view the two articles are not duplicates, especially as the Timeline of t, o ,and o t has very little on telescopes, but a great deal on observatories. I would propose renaming it to Timeline of observatories. It should also be noted that telescopes are not simply astronomical telescopes, but also includes terrestrial telescopes. There should perhaps be a third timeline of astronomical technology to include levels, sextants, octants, transits, astrolabes, the Alphonsine tables etc. There are many ways to slice and dice the information, and I feel a lot would be lost by trying to put it all into a single article - following that course means we would eventually end up with one gargantuan article as a "timeline of technology" - to my mind, teasing out and looking at individual threads in individual articles is instructive.

Merge. Definatley SHOULD be merged both very relevent to each other Bryn has got it right!!!--124.168.200.224 06:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)--124.168.200.224 06:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)JJ
 * I don't see how the fact that two articles are relevant to each other supports the argument that they be merged. The article on yeast is relevant to the articles on both wine and bread: that does not mean it should be merged with them. WLDtalk 09:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

neither the pin hole camera nor magnifying or concave lenses are mentioned in the Book of Optics it only contains his theory of vision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by J8079s (talk • contribs) 20:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
