Welcome to the Bell System Task Force, a task force of WikiProject Telecommunications. A WikiProject is a group of pages in the Wikipedia article namespace which are devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within Wikipedia; and, simultaneously, a group of editors who use those pages to collaborate on encyclopedic work. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles directly, but a resource to help coordinate and organize the writing and editing of those articles. This group focuses on the history of the Bell System.
Open tasks
Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
Article requests : Pictures needed for the older telephone sets, handsets, subsets, etc.
Expand : History of all the Bell operating companies.
Verify : All information posted should be verifiable with listed references
