Talk:A. Atwater Kent

message: I see the need for an autobiographical article on A. Atwater Kent, but I found when going from one of the external links referenced from this page that it is almost word-for-word copied from this page. 
There's a mention on the target page that it was used with permission, which made me wonder if it was derived from this page, but a glance at the Waybackmachine entry shows that the target page was present by April 2005, and according to the history of this article on Wikipedia, it came later, in August of that year. 
There have been subsequent edits to the article, so to my mind it is no longer a clear copyright violation, but it still reads very closely to the original poached bio.
Anyone up for a re-write? Captmondo 10:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah unfortunately this is a total copyvio. It may actually have been contributed by the author, but copyright is actually claimed on the initial version of this page. I'm going to drop it all and replace it with a stub. We need to write our own article. If you're so inclined you can look through the article history and see if there is anything you can salvage. ike9898 (talk) 00:54, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Copying of content from "Atwater Kent: The Man and His Radios"

message: A Veteran's Administration building now sits on the former site of the Atwater Kent factory on Wissahickon Ave. and I have reason to go there about twice a year.  In the lobby they have a great display, partly consisting of things pulled out of a time capsule retrieved when the factory was demolished. It includes an unused AK radio made in the factory and other artifacts. There are also posters with some interesting history. Anyway, yesterday I took my camera there with the intention of gathering content for this article, but the rent-a-cops in the lobby stopped me.  Someday, info and images from there could be gathered by finding the right person to ask permission from. ike9898 (talk) 14:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Too bad! Am surprised that no-one has posted a picture of an actual Atwater Kent radio to Wikipedia or to Wikimedia Commons. Hate to say it, but the poster that is currently posted here is from September 1926, which is three years *after* the point at which the image has fully lapsed out of copyright. It *may* still be valid, but something from 1923 or earlier would be better. If I can source something, will add it. Captmondo (talk) 18:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
