Category talk:Telecommunications

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category has way too many articles in its top level. I have listed it at Category:Wikipedia categories in need of attention --the wub (talk) 11:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Actually, many of them are not articles. They are dictionary items taken from Federal Standard 1037C. I've applied the {{move to Wiktionary}} tag to them. Time permitting I'll collect them up and m:transwiki them. --RSaunders 20:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Look carefully before you move them. In many cases, those dictionary definitions would be a good base for an encyclopedia article. There are many important optics and telecomm concepts that are not yet well explained here. --Srleffler 05:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Can these articles be narrowed into the existing or new subcategories? (e.g.: audio, video, data; or, analog and digital). The Category:Telecommunications terms is getting full too. -- Dogears 08:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

• I'm very leary to edit a page this big, even though it is a topic I am passonate about, and fluent in. I can tell ya right now from just browsing the "catagories" that most of them are related to Fiber-Optic, and some don't even deserve to be here. RSaunders is right, this is turning into a dictonary. Most of the offending links should be moved inside the Fiber Optic article, if not killed outright. This will confuse the hell out of people just visting the page for basic information.

• I checked a couple of articles at random (Demand factor, Ground constants, Decoder) and it seemed to me they belonged in other areas; Demand factor and Ground constants being electric power, while Decoder probably belongs in electronics components. I have a nasty feeling that many definitions were imported wholesale, without investigating whether these items were already covered in relevant articles (but that's just speculation at this point).

  • Yes, a US Government telecommunications dictionary was imported wholesale and only lightly wikified. These pages in many cases are viable stubs once they are rephrased slightly. See Wikipedia:Federal Standard 1037C terms for a more organized approach to editing this material. (Also see discussion at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Federal Standard 1037C clean up) All help is welcome.--Srleffler 04:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category - Telecommunications companies

Hi, should this sub-category be created? --McTrixie 08:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I found the category. Why is it not in this category? --McTrixie 08:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
