Talk:Telegraph (disambiguation)

Periodicals

What about telegraph.co.uk? I'm trying to find out background on them to see how legit they are. --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 18:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Telegraph (non-verbal communication)

Don't know if it deserves an article, but "telegraph" is also sports slang (at least in USA) for when a player lets an opponent see what he intends to do so the opponent can successfully counter the move.

It's true in the performing arts. Directors (again, at least in USA) will often criticize actors for telegraphing their emotions rather than embodying them. --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 18:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Removal of Non-Dab'g entries

The items on the accompanying Dab page should be topic names that might had articles named "Telegraph".
It is not meant for topics such as equipment associated with telegraphy:

• Telegraph sounder, a device which produces an audible sound when connected to an electrical telegraph
• Telegraph code, a character encoding used to transmit information through telegraphy machines
• Telegraph key, a generic term for any switching device used primarily to send Morse code
• Transatlantic telegraph cable, a nineteenth century telegraph cable that crossed the Atlantic Ocean
• Australian Overland Telegraph Line, a 3200 kilometre telegraph line that connected Darwin with Port Augusta

Nor is it meant for other telegraphy-related articles that reasonable users would not expect to find titled "Telegraph":

• AT&T
• Coit Tower, at the summit of Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, California
• ITT
• New England Telephone and Telegraph Company
• Nippon Telegraph and Telephone
• Pacific Telegraph Company
• Royal Corps of Signals
• Semaphore line, also known as optical telegraph or Chappe telegraph

On the other hand, some effort went into collecting these two lists of related articles, and someone may find them useful other than as misguided contribs to the Dab.

Telegraph wires

In German "Telegrafendrähte" mean linear scratches in 35 mm film (still) negatives (caused by particles or points, over which film is wound forth (and back). In printing on paper on landscape format pictures with a light grey sky these turn out as fine, parallel dark grey lines. Like wire(s) of e telegraph line.

Does this expression exist in Englsh. too? --Helium4 (talk) 15:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
