(ignore footnotes below, I can't get rid of them).

FYI: footnotes can be made to appear at the end of the relevant section, rather than confusingly at the end of the most recent section, by putting "reflist-talk" (using double curled brackets in place of the quotation marks) at the end of that section. 66.81.247.155 (talk) 06:58, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

More citations ??

150 notes down there and more citations are required since dec. 2016 ? Could someone show the reader where are missing citations & problems, in order to work it out, thks. --Marc-AntoineV (talk) 10:37, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

What was the role of Wollcott's mirror camera in early daguerreotype portraiture (eg in Beard's rooftop operation in the Regent Street Polytechnic?

Why has Woolcott's camera disappeared from the article? RPSM (talk) 11:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

What is the purpose of the redundant word "daguerreotype" in the first sentence?

Did someone change a variant spelling to be the same as the initial version? Lexaxis7 (talk) 18:45, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Should the invention of photography be a separate article?

This article is about Daguerreotype photography--which is a big subject in itself. But it wanders off into talking about the "Who invented photograph?" controversy. Whoever that was, it wasn't Louis Daguerre (as both Beaumont Newhall and Watson & Rappaport make clear). Mgryan (talk) 19:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Spread

Something missing from the discussion of the rapid spread of the technique is how. That is, were photographers learning the technique and themselves creating the plates, the cameras, etc., or were these made, sold, and distributed by companies?Bill (talk) 04:45, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
