Early ideas

• Unlink Hans Christian Ørsted as you have linked before.
  • It is conventional to repeat links that also appear in the lead. See MOS:DUPLINK. SpinningSpark 12:38, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
    • I got them messed up...

Gauss and Weber telegraph

Steinheil first installed his telegraph along five miles of track covering four stations around Munich When did he do it?

• The source doesn't say, so we can't put a definite date in the article, but by implication, it was around 1837. It has to have occured in the short window between Steinheil being asked to look into railway telegraphs in 1836 and his installation on the Nūrnberg-Fūrth railway in 1838, so I think there is enough context there for the reader.

  • Yeah I wanted to see if there was. It is fine.

Overall

Does not seem to me to have many porblems! Great refs and facts. Almost sure it is good to go after you fix the stuff I put. Best, Signed,The4lines |||| ^{(You Asked?) (What I have Done.)} 03:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

That's no problem, better to have the issues looked at than not. SpinningSpark 15:23, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
