Talk:Aleksandr Popov (physicist)

message: 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)

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)

message: 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)

message: 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)
thread_title:  Marconi 

message: I think the text on the stamp deserves a translation. 
It says: "Inventor of radio A. S. Popov". And at the bottom: "Demonstration of the first radio receiver, 1895. Painting by N. A. Sysoyev."

thread_title:  The text on the postal stamp 

message: Fountains of Bryn Mawr, I think the notable fact that Popov (along with Marconi) is popularly credited in numerous sources  1,  2,     3,  4,   5,   6,   7,   8,    9,   10,   11  with building the first radio receiver needs to be in the article.  Glad you caught the Landell de Moura reference.  BTW, if de Moura didn't use radio waves, there are claims in Radio, Wireless telegraphy, Invention of radio, List of scientific priority disputes, and 1900 in Brazil that need to be removed. --ChetvornoTALK 19:56, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed de Moura here, and yes, its a problem - the radio priority stuff seems to have been copied over and over again from article to article without much checking on the (not very good) sources. "Encyclopedia of Radio by Christopher H. Sterling" seems to show just an optical photophone in 1892–1893 and a much later photophone/herzian device in 1900. I was noticing the "Popov's receiver" section has a description of Popovs system and priority debates mixed together. Maybe these should be broken up, i.e. a separate or sub-section "Place in history" or "Priority debates". I think popular credit is already in the article and well covered. One minor point, if there is a popular conception or miss-conception about Popov then we need to cite a reliable source that covers it, not cite sources where it appears.

replies: text: A separate section for the priority debates and place in history would be good.--ChetvornoTALK 00:35, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Popov's reputation 

message: Fountains of Bryn Mawr, I left that in because it is actually his first receiver, as shown in  Huurdman, p.207.  It is the only PD picture I could find.  The photo of the receiver with the chart recorder which you left in was not actually his first receiver - the caption lies.  I think if we can't find a better one the drawing needs to be in there.  --ChetvornoTALK 22:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I was following WP:IMAGE cleanup, 3 images of the same thing (a lightning detector) and text squeeze, two should go. I have swapped back the drawing and moved the chart version down. If another combo works without text squeeze please change it again. I see the commons category does not have those images, we need to add them there. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 23:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks good. Which commons category?  I added the drawing to Category:Alexander Stepanovich Popov; is that what you meant?  --ChetvornoTALK 00:29, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I wasn't seeing the images at Commons and found that the Commons box at the bottom of this article pointed to a sub-category "Alexander Stepanovich Popov" (with only 4 images). I changed it to "Category:Alexander Stepanovich Popov" and added a missed image, hope that fixed it. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
