Dear Stephen,

Please help me to put some changes into following items of Multitouch article:

A whole load of edits

- Preambel

 "... Single Touch or Dual-Touch." to "... Single Touch,  Dual-Touch or real Multi-Touch. Multi-touch refers to a touch system's ability to simultaneously detect and resolve a minimum of 3+ touch points. All 3 or more touches are detected and fully resolved resulting in a dramatically improved touch experience. Multi-touch is considered by many to become a widely-used interface mainly because of the speed, efficiency and intuitiveness of the technology." 

- Implementations
after

 "Multi-touch has been implemented in several different ways, depending on the size and type of interface. "

please add
"From physical point of view there are: Resistive, Surface Capacitive, Projected Capacitive (PST), Bending Wave, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW), Infrared (IR) and Optical technology. The most popular form are tables (for Example: MS Surface) and wall."

- History
after
"This technology was used to develop a new type of human machine interface (HMI) for the control room of the Super Proton Synchrotron particle accelerator." please add
"In a handwritten note dated 11 March 1972, Stumpe presented his proposed solution – a capacitative touch screen with a fixed number of programmable buttons presented on a display. The screen was to consist of a set of capacitors etched into a film of copper on a sheet of glass, each capacitor being constructed so that a nearby flat conductor, such as the surface of a finger, would increase the capacity by a significant amount. The capacitors were to consist of fine lines etched in copper on a sheet of glass – fine enough (80 μm) and sufficiently far apart (80 μm) to be invisible (CERN Courier April 1974 p117). In the final device, a simple lacquer coating prevented the fingers from actually touching the capacitors."
Please delete fully clause with Displax, because Displax didn't implement multi touch! (see Displax web site).

I reverted the bot's edit that undid your edits to the article. You can make any changes you like there. It's not usual practice to have someone else make edits on your behalf of the article is freely editable and not protected. --Stephen 21:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Why don't you leave a message at User talk:Khukri or on the article talk page? I am not an expert on the type of device. Stephen 00:16, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Dear Stephen,

I asked User talk:Khukri, but without success. Have you some idea, what I made wrong?
With best regards from Munich

I can't tell you Khukri's reasons, but here are some things wrong with your edit: the edit messed up the formatting of the text, which you should have spotted using the "Show preview" button, and corrected. You should not use HTML tags like <b> and <br />. Use the "help" link for help. Your edit includes Cyrillic characters, which it shouldn't. Yes, software includes operating systems. Also, I seriously doubt that there should be a list put into the article of applications (eg Paint, Solitaire) which happen to have multi-touch support. -R. S.

Dear R.S.Shaw,

thx for your hint regarding Cyrillic characters - it was rest of my translation from Russian language.

I try to wait for a response from User talk:Khukri and then I put new version without Cyrillic characters.

With best regards from Munich
