Scattergun edit
Rather than tagging a whole bunch of articles, it would be more useful for Wikiproject Electronics to fix really bad articles such as Semiconductor and Zener diode or even Transistor. Any of these needs far more attention than Incandescent light bulb which has pretty good descriptions of operation, history, and references. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:25, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, however before I focused my energies on specific articles I wanted to take a wider snapshot of where wikipedia was with regards to electronics. Perhaps we could work together. Do you have a particular article in mind. Regards Armstrong1113149 (talk) 16:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Start with Semiconductor, Transistor, Zener diode, Integrated circuit, Electronics. Get the core articles on the topic into a readable form (better than a C-student's grade-school essay) first before tagging peripheral topics.
- I'm skeptical of the whole "wikiproject" notion since I've often seen tags added announcing a brave new project and that is the last contribution the "project" members make to the article. Wikipedia doesn't need more tags. Wikipedia needs spelling checks, fact checks, references, organization -- good writing, not "slacktivism". Some people like to put "physics" tags on everything in sight, too -- also with no effect. In my opinion no matter how good I may feel about scattergunning tags across hundreds of articles, that's not nearly as valuable to the project as working on one or two articles and adding actual content.--Wtshymanski (talk) 16:24, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Who is "Cameron Harding?" edit
Why did you undo my edit on Incandescent light bulb? I'm referring to this edit of yours: [1]. I've never heard of electric current being known as "Cameron Harding." Have you? -- Why Not A Duck 01:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

thank you edit
Thank you for filling in details in articles about under-appreciated electronic devices. Perhaps someday we will overcome chronological snobbery and have an appropriate amount of respect for the work of people who have changed our world. --DavidCary (talk) 20:03, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
