Finally got a COI up for my TM page edits. Also edited that TM page heavily with your comments and Emildae's in mind. I do have a newbie question: I started a user page and am wondering if it is best for a user page to keep the user's identity anonymous. I know a Wiki user page is not a social media/facebook page, but wonder about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of stating experience and qualifications. Thanks again for your involvement.

 * No, it is completely appropriate for you to mention your qualifications and experience on your user page, the better for other users to know what areas you have expertise in to recruit your help. You can reveal your actual identity or not; that's your own choice. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Transpositional modulation
In your recent edit to this article, you ponder "A good account can be created here based on the patent. But I wonder if that should wait until a product is released or tech articles are published." My guess would be yes. None of the publications that I've seen on this technology sufficiently explain how the high-frequency components of the waveform generated by the altered inflection points can be transmitted without requiring a wider bandwidth. There has been no Fourier analysis of this signal shown, indicating that a band-limited signal can result in proper demodulation at the receiving end. Until such an analysis has been submitted to a technical journal for proper peer review, this technology has to be considered speculative at best. I would put it in the same category as VMSK, a technology introduced in the early 2000s and then widely debunked. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:40, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

I would encourage keeping the stub because examiners at the USPTO have determined that the technology is within the real of possibility Chapter 2100. Scroll down to: 2143.02 "Reasonable Expectation of Success Is Required [R-08.2012]" for more detail. Like you, I am waiting to see a working product and/or peer-reviewed journal articles. However, my understanding leads me to believe that the science is feasible.

You may have noticed that my editing of the TM article/stub greatly reduced the size of the article which you left. I eliminated other irrelevant, and extraneous material and demoted sources that have not had a direct hand in assessing the technology. I am unsure how to reply to the AfD notice. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated because I've not had much luck making sense of the AfD or COI processes. CosmicEngineMan (talk) 17:20, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Patent examiners rarely reject a patent unless it is blatantly out of the realm of possibility. VMSK also received patents, although it has been demonstrated to be an impossible dream. The only reason there is a VPSK article at all is that it is a notable failure. TM does not appear to fall into that category yet. As for how to reply to the AFD notice -- make whatever argument you feel is appropriate at Articles for deletion/Transpositional modulation. If you think the article should be kept, indicate why you think so (preferably with references to Wikipedia criteria for inclusion that you feel the technology meets).
