Vintage Radio
I suggest Vintage Radio should be made into an article of it's own. Right now it's just more of of too much detail on a very specific aspects of Amateur radio. It really shouldn't be so fully detailed as it is within the main Amateur radio article. However, it does have some good information, and could verywell be a good start to a new article.Anonym1ty 23:50, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Amateur radio
Hi Paul! I removed the para added to the main article as we already have links to Vintage_amateur_radio. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Please do me a BIG favor, and review the recent change to the Amateur radio article. The section that you added is in dire need of copyediting to remove fluff terms and POV content. As you know, one of the pillars of Wikipedia is a neutral point of view. Terms like "warm and inviting" express a bias towards the subject, and need some re-tooling to bring them in-line with the standard...
 * Trust me, I know where you are at on this one, being a licensed amateur myself, however the trick here is being able to dissociate the hobby with the Wiki. 7-3! KG6QHK Edit Centric (talk) 15:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The problem, gentlemen, is that the change that I have twice seen now deletes any reference to the vintaqe aspect of the hobby. As for neutrality, the same theme exists when words like "boom" or "popularity" are included in the references to other activities without a numerical basis. - Unsigned comment by User:WA3VJB


 * Having written the Vintage amateur radio article, I know where you're coming from, Paul. But take a look at the article sidebar that lists "specialized interests and modes". AM and vintage is right there along with QRP, Packet, homebrew, contesting, etc. Showcasing AM/vintage in the "Practices" section without showcasing all the other specialized interests is not very balanced. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As mentioned, the problem is that there are specialized interests included in the "Activities" section that hold a smaller following. How is the line drawn, and what criteria was established to qualify an activity for inclusion? - Unsigned comment by User:WA3VJB
 * Good question and open to discussion. I know that at one time, everyone's favorite activity and mode was listed (and promoted) in the opening paragraph of the article! Needless to say, it made the article unreadable. Hope to avoid that situation. - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
