thread_title: TRS capitalization

message: I removed the link regarding scamming.  I'm a former Communications Assistant for one of the TRS providers.  The fact that it is a scam, fits within the system of Relay.  Relay Operators are supposed to be transparent, "human phone lines,"  Phone lines an take scams as well.  This site was more a discussion about scamming than about the relay service.  The scamming just happens to happen via the relay service. Cliffb 03:26, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Scamming Link

message: I know the MOS style, but I think the TRS industry standard should override the Wikipedia Style Guide.  Also taking a deeper look at it probably all of the dashes should come out as well.  I'll revert the Capitalization change, as well as remove the dashes in a couple days if no one objects.
I also looked up some examples of the TRS industry lexicon.  They're pretty consistent on capitalizing the service types.  The Examples:
Some Examples Relay South Dakota  Relay Alaska Sprint VRS ATT Relay Hamilton Relay Verizon Relay (formerly MCI relay) Nordia Relay Sorenson Relay

replies: text:  If industry standards say "Speech-To-Speech" or "Speech-to-Speech" should have capital initials, then I think it's consistent with Wikipedia's style manual to capitalize them.  But what about
* Types of service available
* Fraudulent uses
* Some websites
....etc.?  If I find incorrect capitals in things like those, it makes me think the other capitals were put there for the same reason, which conflicts with the style manual.  Instead of a simple revert, could we have some discrimination between capitals-for-a-reason and capitals-because-they're-section headings/title phrases/just words/whatever?

text: Fixed.  Of course more accurate editing would be helpful if one noted that the same exact capitalization was utilized in the text of the sections as well as the headings, although I appreciate the impetuous to reexamine this article for revisions..  —Cliffb 20:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the word province as it is not in common usage to say Quebec provence as opposed to Quebec.

message: I dispute the replaceability of Wow-sprintRelaySolutions.gif, Diagram tty.gif, VCODirect.JPG, Image:Diagram hco.gif, Diagram sts.gif, Illustration-telebraille.gif, CapTel how it works.jpg and CapTel_jk-usb.jpg. I have added a irreplaceable fair use rationale with a reason on the image description pages, as well as the image talk pages. In addition, although CapTel_jk-usb.jpg is not currently replaceable, I have added a request on Wikipedia:Requested pictures and discussed it in its talk page. Any attempts to replace the other fair use images or add any images to the article are also appreciated. Taric25 18:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm happy where I got this article to, and I'm deciding to leave it to develop without me watching it.  So I'm going to take it off my watchlist.  If you'd like my opinion on something about this article, please drop me a note on my talk page..  —Cliffb 05:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leaving this article 

message: The article presently has no images.  If you are a user of TRS or involved with TRS I invite you to consider taking a few pictures and donating them.  The "Upload file" toolbox link contains links to pages with relevant instructions and policies.  (SEWilco 03:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images invited 

message: There's a whole section on captioned phones that uses "Cap-Tel" and "CapTel" as a generic name for captioned phones, and "WebCapTel" as a generic name for a web captioning service. They're not: they are all trademarked products of one company.
Two changes need to be made (I'll make them when/if I have time):
* "Cap-Tel", "CapTel" and "WebCapTel" need to be isolated into product descriptions, and the rest of the text made generic
* Mention needs to be made of competing products (e.g. CaptionCall, and a number of web-based products)

message: I feel that the article on 7-1-1 should be merged into this article. There is considerable overlap between the two topics. I don't think 7-1-1 needs it's own article, but I do think the material could easily be added to this article.CircleGirl (talk) 17:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
