And my personal opinion
Yes, I agree with you that Nikola Tesla was a very great inventor and a very cool person, and some of Edison's business practices were questionable to say the least. But please keep in mind this an encyclopedia. Calling inventors names is not how historians figure out who deserves more credit for inventions. If you can find reliable sources that show Edison acted unfairly toward Tesla (and no, the Oatmeal is not a reliable source), please, add the information to either Thomas Edison's or Nikola Tesla's article! Being able to re-examine and re-assess history sets Wikipedia apart from textbooks that mindlessly repeat the narratives of the status quo. We just want to do it in a thoughtful and considerate way.
