[edit] Comment by Ostermana

I'm changing "was the first to publicly demonstrate transmission of radio waves (March 1896)" to "was one the first to publicly demonstrate transmission of radio waves (March 1896)" and removing all mention of a patent application. Nicola Tesla demonstrated wireless broadcasting of messages while in St. Louis in 1893, and Marconi is credited with demonstrating radio in 1895. --Ostermana 05:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Whoa! In 1893 there were no printed documents that would confirm "public demonstration of radio waves" by Tesla. What about depiction of his transmitter and receiver "designed in 1893"? Maybe, one could find something in American museums? Same for "demonstrating radio signals by Marconi in 1895". No any written sources. Popov's experiments were very-well depicted in journals and newspapers printed in 1895. His system of wireles telegraphy was used in rescue operation while Marconi was trying to send a letter "S" over Atlantic. Sea diver (talk) 13:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Sea diver

[edit] How in god's name.....

...can this article be a featured article?!?!?

The language is horrible. If I read this article aloud, it sounds... Russian! The word "a" should be used more often for example... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.140.2.129 (talk) 16:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

• Russan is not a horrible language. Correct this article, if something wrong as for you.

[edit] Birthdate

List his birthday as January 13/December 31 1905/6 doesn't make sense. It seems like you're saying January 13, 1905 OR December 3, 1906... Changed it for clarification. Jg325 16:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marconi

Can somebody mention the trial with Marconi, which one has copied and claimed all inventions by Popov. I'm not expert enough to do that and my English is not the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.223.104.34 (talk) 15:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
