TD2 tower in the Mojave National Preserve, California

Created by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 15:59, 12 July 2021 (UTC).Reply

  •   @Maury Markowitz: This is an enjoyable read, new enough and long enough. Image is appropriately licensed. Citation needed to end the sentence ending in Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. ALT0 is good with [1] as the better link than Dickinson, but I don't see a mention of TD2 in the Ars Technica source (though I'm sure it's a near-identical revival the way it is described). Any potential remediation of these? Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 17:10, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Sammi Brie: The Ars article contains an image of the Long Lines article. This dates to 1949, before the name TD2 was widely used. It's the same set of towers. CP mention removed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:36, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Maury Markowitz: OK, that makes sense. I still see the CP section; the part that would need to be cited is the only major national-scale dedicated TH installation was in Canada, a joint effort by the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway..

@Maury Markowitz: I see you're working on Trans Canada Microwave. Is Aspden 1964 from that article appropriate to fill the gap? I can't access its full text, but I bet it would mention TH. Otherwise this can be excised. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 22:52, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Maury Markowitz:! It's been a month since you replied to this nomination, are you still working on it? If you're too busy to finish it right now, that's OK. I'll remove the uncited line so the review can continue. BuySomeApples (talk) 06:09, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@BuySomeApples and Sammi Brie: Given that the nominator has been AWOL for a month, I'll adopt this nomination. I couldn't find a source, so I removed the line. As for ALT2, I can't find a source that directly mentions TD-2 in its re-emergence either, so could we just go ahead with ALT0? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 07:23, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
it would seem i'm not adopting this nomination as much as i am jettisoning the parts that aren't making it—i am an adopter the way a horse doctor is a vet theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 07:25, 27 August 2021 (UTC) Reply
@Theleekycauldron: great! I've struck ALT1, @Sammi Brie: what do you think of ALT0 now that the uncited sentence in the article's been removed? BuySomeApples (talk) 07:31, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Theleekycauldron:   ALT0 is good. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 21:05, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
