Television interference
The article seems to be comprised largely of original research and a how to guide for fixing television interference. Wikipedia is nethier a place for original research nor how to guides.DeathThoreau 21:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Never mind Thankfully someone got to fixing things while I was figuring out this system. The original research material and how to guide seems to have been removed, would recommend some kind of measure against getting that thrown in again. DeathThoreau 21:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I would reject the claim of original research as the guide to fixing television interference is already well documented in the electronics press. I have combined several sources and the oral tradition passed to me to create the page.

Much of the page was passed on the book published by the radio society of great britain which was designed to teach a person to be able to pass the old fashioned license exam. I can provide you with several sources which you could read.

The radio amateur's guide to EMC, Robin Page-Jones (G3JWI), RSGB, 1992.

Radiocommunication handbook, RSGB.

If you want you could check a ARRL book, I am sure that the methods and ideas there are the same.

The how to guide is part of a larger set of articles which explain a series of ideas which otherwise a person might never consider. While UHF AM TV is on its way out in the UK (within a decade it is likely to be replaced by digital), I think that it makes a very good teaching example. For instance the idea that the braid of a down lead can act as an antenna is an idea which until I had read about TVI and EMC was something which I had no idea of.

I would suggest that you should enlist the help of some radio operators and/or workers from the world of electronics before making a choice about what to do.Cadmium 23:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I conisder it note worthy that DeathThoreau since putting in the AfD has not engauged in any discussion about the page with myself (main editor of the Television interference section). His two complaints against the page are


 * Original research, see my comment above


 * How to guide, the how to guide has been rewritten into a better style which is no longer a how to guide.
