[edit] Telephony

Many, many pages link to this page (actually most link to Strowger switch) when talking about the particulars of the Strowger switching system. I belive that it would be beneficial to put the technical material in Strowger switch and leave Almon Brown Strowger for truly biographical information. Barring any opposition, I'll probably do that on 2007-05-27 or the next day (Monday, Memorial Day). The Slimey 08:48, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good move

Separating Strowger Switch material into an article in its own right is a good idea - do it. Better still develop an historical article looking at telephone switch developments?

Umm, the switch history article is called telephone exchange and is large. Instead of making a new small article for steppa, we could split off the historical sections of the big article and add all our SXS material to that. Or move director telephone system into whatever name the Strowger Switch article gets. Or some combination of the above. All this on the theory that a huge article is bad, and so is a swarm of little articles, so we should strive for articles of, like, 2 to 20 Kilobytes except where the topic forces big or small ones.

I've copied the section to User:Slimey.limey/Strowger switch and I'm working on it there. The Slimey 07:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
