Changes to inductive charging
I see that you have made changes to this page and provided a citation. Thank you! The citation is to a patent application. As far as I can tell, this citation does not show that inductive charging was performed in coal mines although I see that this a use case stated in the patent application. Have you come across any references that state that such a charger was actually used or applied in a coal mine or any other place prior to 1978? This reference is what would be needed for your text to be accurate. See Verifiability. Popular Outcast talk2me 21:42, 12 October 2018 (UTC) Thank you for your comments. The application to charging miner's head lamps is not important, so remove it if you wish. Far more important is this patent is key to the development of inductive charging. It is referenced by all the newer patents applying to inductive charging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.204.187.17 (talk) 23:06, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there. A patent only means that a specific design was patented. It does not mean that it was the first application. I am reverting your changes. You can add text to the article with the information you replied to me with if you have references that state it. Remember that you can't add original research in an article on Wikipedia. So, for example, if from your research you've noticed that all future patents or applications were based on the original patent, you need a book or journal or some other source that says that. See WP:OR. Thank you for contributing. Popular Outcast  talk2me 23:48, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I saw that you added the information. Thanks! I corrected the citation for the patent for you. See Jim1138's comment below for how to do this.
