Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Instant nostalgia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surprisingly iconic sounds. While the oldest ones, from the 2600 baud era and maybe going up to a factor of 100 above that are perhaps the most iconic, this is a good example of the sounds of a dying bit of technology that was once part of our everyday lives. I'd love to have more of this type, covering the little variations between baud-rates. But then, I am a huge geek.

Reopened - This needs to run for seven days, feasted processes do not use wp:SNOW closes. You also voted in this one, we generally don't do that except in extreme cases. I am not, however, going to expend the effort to undue the promotion, unless of course this manages to fail somehow. We'll just close it in six days, and more than likely all that'll change is it's order in the monthly log. Sven Manguard Wha? 09:01, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]


  • Since enough time has past I'm reinstating the promotion. Yay following process even when it's inefficient and has no bearing on the outcome. (At least we can claim to follow a process, believe me that beats plenty of parts of Wikipedia...) Sven Manguard Wha? 01:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
