thread_title:  Edison V. Westinghouse 

message: A quote from the article:
*That same year, he formed the "Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company", which was renamed the "Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company" in 1889. 
The before and after company names are the same.  There must be a mistake somewhere.  The linked article, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, says this new name came in 1945, so it is not clear what the company's old name was.  H Padleckas 08:03, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure it is quite right to describe Westinghouse as Tesla's 'friend'.  As far as I can tell it was very one sided - Westinghouse got a lot out of Tesla and Tesla didn't get much in return.  Also Westinghouse did not support Tesla after his initial work on a.c. - e.g. Tesla had to go to JP Morgan for support on his wireless transmission project. I think 'business partner' would be nearer the truth than 'friend' 4kinnel 16:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tesla 

message: I think the section Electricity and the "War of Currents" should be shortened, because Main article War of Currents exists. The section should be the abstruct of the article War of Currents. But I cannot think the section is the abstruct. So sentences should be moved (and merged ) from the section Electricity and the "War of Currents" to the article War of Currents, if they do not exist in the article.  Thank you.

message: Any reason the picture of Benz's Velo is here? I don't see any reference to it in the text. JaKaL! (talk) 13:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: When you see some thing like this,  be bold and take it out! That particular error has been here since May 08 - I guess no-one reads the article, or people just like pictures of old cars. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

message: No evidence that Tesla created anything concerning AC motor and rotating magnetic field before 1888. Galileo Ferraris discovered the principle in 1885  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnagr (talk • contribs) 19:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: No evidence that Tesla "conceived" rotaing magnetic field in 1882

message: I have rewritten the sections referring to Tesla because it seemed to be unreferenced Tesla fan fiction/myth such as this was a "Tesla system", that this had anything to do with Tesla's time at Edison,  or that induction motors were immediately adopted.
