AGK, another editor seems to be vandalizing my work. Between 2016 and early 2018, I corrected errors in Wikipedia's Telechrome article and provided sources. During this time, another editor inserted plausible falsehoods into the article. The author cited articles that don’t support his fringe hypothesis. I added a paragraph that explained why his claim is speculation. I cited the patent, which contains no such claim.

In September 2018, an editor deleted my contribution. My references and other edits are also missing. I used the “talk” feature to contact the other editor. My “talk” comments have since vanished. How can I resolve this conflict? ColorWheel (talk) 08:52, 9 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Section removed edit

I suspect the item directly above this is referring to me, as I appear to be the only other major contributor to the article in question.

Yes, I have removed some of your content from the article. The content in question is a lengthy section of personal speculation, which it clearly admitted to by introducing itself "we can imagine...". There are no supporting reliable sources for that material, nor any clear indication that such a thing was really considered. It simply doesn't belong on the wiki, although it might make for a good "see also" link.

As to the "talk" feature you refer to, I cannot find any trace of it. There are no edits in the Talk page that I can see, nor any on my own talk page. Where did you post these comments?

After some poking about, it appears the "talk feature" you were referring to was a post to an anon IP's talk page. The text is still there, but I'm not sure who user 2600:1700:EA0:81D0:3888:1182:B43E:7615 is. In any event, it's not me, and I suspect they are rather confused as to why you're calling them Maury :-) Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:30, 23 July 2019 (UTC)Reply


Maury,

TOPIC 1. You’ve recently removed a table that I added to the Telechrome article in May, 2018. (This table was still in the article as recently as June, 2019.) Table subject: Baird’s claim that his two-color system would be adaptable to British TV. My table provided two possible explanations for this vague claim. I’d labeled my table as speculation.

I’ve considered removing the table from the article. On June 10, I asked a Wiki authority for his opinion on the removal. Your deletion of this table doesn’t trouble me. In fact, the table in question *isn’t* the subject of my complaint about your September 2018 edits to my work.

TOPIC 2. Alleged “Lenticular Telechrome.” My concern is your own speculation about *lenticular Telechrome.* You must know that, as you bring up my comment to “an anon IP’s talk page.”

In September 2018, you removed my content that criticized your “lenticular Telechrome” allegations. You also removed my references, none of which was speculative.

Your own references (Popular Mechanics and Wireless World) never describe 3D by lenticular means: Or even rotating the tube by 90 degrees. The Baird Telechrome patent that I added to the article *never* claims a lenticular 3D capability. Baird never specifies just using the front two guns of the 3D Telechrome. (You offer no reference for that claim.) There are no lenticules (cylindrical lenses) in 3D or 2D Telechrome. Ray Herbert was a Baird associate. Herbert's book includes testimony by E.G.O. Anderson, Baird's long time lab technician (since 1936), and other Baird associates. The book explains that Telechrome 3D was a process that *required anaglyph glasses.* ([1]) I urge you to expunge this “lenticular Telechrome” notion. (See your paragraph, below.)

There are no lenticules (cylindrical lenses) in 3D or 2D Telechrome" - lenticules are the basis of the 3-color telechrome. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:04, 6 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
INCORRECT, Maury. Alleged "lenticular Telechrome" is a chimera. You haven't proven your assertion with reputable sources. Nor does your assertion answer any of the other issues that I've outlined above.ColorWheel (talk) 07:38, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

“Baird also described a 3D system using the ridged tube that eliminated the need for glasses. In this case, the tube was rotated so the peaks ran vertically instead of horizontally and the red gun was removed. The guns formerly used for green and blue were now used for left and right images.[6] The basic concept is identical to the lenticular printing system used in magazines and other printed materials to produce 3D images.[7] However, there is no evidence such a system was ever trialled.”

@Boleyn: Thank you, Boleyn. I translated this article from the German Wikipedia, including source material. Elsewhere on the Web, I've written a more detailed Flechsig article. As time allows, I'll add references from that article. Please see: [1] ColorWheel (talk) 08:11, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, it's often a problem with the translations, it's a shame German and ENglish Wikipedias have such different standards. Thanks for your hard work, Boleyn (talk) 07:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
