Talk:Time capsule

message: Electronic time capsule is a new website that I think shoud be added to the time capsule article. You send text,video,audio messages to a specific person in a specific date in the future. Yes it is a subscription based service but it is one of a kind.This may seem like spam or self promo but the reality is that I believe that this new service deserves to be added to the Time capsule article. www.electronictimecapsule.com The traditional time capsule concept polished up for the 21st century. Tell me what you think and if it should or not be in the Time capsule article. Kanucme 17:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it should be added. For one, it's a commercial service. For another, it's a "time capsule" by analogy, but it's not really a time capsule. The information is not sealed away where no one can get to it, it's simply stored by someone -- kind of like a will kept in a lawyers vault. It's a service you pay someone to maintain information for you until a set date. It's not a new kind of time capsule because it's not really a time capsule at all, except by analogy or for marketing purposes. -- Stbalbach 16:29, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Since Electronic time capsule is a new service where should it be added. Is there a place for this service in this Encyclopedia? If not what happends? Thank you. Kanucme 19:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know. Not every service or company is noteworthy for Wikipedia. You could try creating a Wikipedia article about the company (but I think it would be nominated for deletion - depending how well it was written). If you disagree, and think it should be part of this article, you could start the Wikipedia:Resolving disputes track, such as Wikipedia:Third opinion or Wikipedia:Requests for comment or Wikipedia:Straw polls. I really do think though that this service is not a time capsule (as defined by verifiable sources), and is just a commercial service, such as what a lawyer might provide, which is using the term time capsule by analogy for sales and marketing purposes. -- Stbalbach 22:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The claim that the first 'modern' timecapsule was laid in 1937 seems wrong.
An article in the German Wikipedia (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BCrkenkaserne) on a barracks built in Munich Germany mentions a time capsule buried in its foundations in 1823. Sejtam 14:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "...has been in use since 1939" 

message: Hello fellow wiki-editors. I'm adding new listings of time capsules to the list page. I'd like to
invite more activity to that page for a good reason. I'm leading up a project for a time capsule
for next year and one of the items we'd like to put in the time capsule, is a list of other time
capsule complete with GPS coordinates and dates they will be opened. This is in the expectation
of telling people of the future where other time capsules can be found. Based on the approval of
other wikieditors I'd like to head up this directory of time capsules here at wikipedia with the
aforementioned article. I welcome your input, with a collaborative effort we may have a more
meaningful index to drop into our time capsule next year.--Ourhistory153 (talk) 16:47, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding to the List of Time Capsules 

message: There has been no meaningful content added to this page since 2009. There have been some edits but no worthwhile
contributions and even one of their main references called "Affordable Time Capsules" is a dead link. Not sure
that that was about but it seems like a self serving commercial company. But the very scar thing is that
this society's mission is to build an index of time capsules through submissions from time capsule planners. But
where does that information go? Is it in public domain? Can we be assured it's not just a black hole where the
info goes nowhere? I believe if this society is to maintain a presence and gather information there there should
be some contributions and current involvement. What's your thought's on this? --Ourhistory153 (talk) 17:02, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: Nearly the entire article concerns time capsules in the United States.  Which is fine, if they are predominantly an American thing, but if so, some mention should be made of that.  Otherwise, it would be good to include more international examples.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.24.249.219 (talk) 23:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Very U.S. centric 

message: Various documents point to the Jarvis book listed in "Further reading" as saying that this time capsule at the Centennial Exposition was the first planned capsule, but there is no mention in the article or at List of time capsules. Mapsax (talk) 02:00, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
