New book about the history of the ITU could be a potential reliable source

For any editors seeking to improve this page, I stumbled upon this recent book "History of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)" that might be a useful reliable source for the ITU's history - https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110669701/html - Dyork (talk) 19:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Antennas

I fail to see why this article should be (I quote) "Part of a series on Antennas".

Can someone please enlighten me? -- jw (talk) 19:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Wow... I have no idea either! Never noticed that on this page. Now, the ITU does work with radio spectrum, but I have no idea why that sidebar infobox would be there about Antennas. In a quick look at the category page that "series" links to, I can find Beam steering having the same kind of infobox. Perhaps some editor in the past was trying to link together a set of articles?

Right now, though, I would suggest removing the sidebar from the ITU article. - Dyork (talk) 02:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

I too looked for other articles, might even want to question sdome of them ...
... I'm waiting for some more concurrence before removing the infobox in a few days' time; I'll also look for and ping whoever included it in the first place :-) / cheers -- jw (talk) 21:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Jwikip: It seems other editors either haven't seen this request or don't have a strong enough opinion to comment. I'll tag some of the editors who have edited this page in the last several months - Dyork (talk) 19:35, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Question for editors - Richardkiwi, Kbrose, Oshwah, Arcaist, Eddie891, Zurkhardo, Bquast, Materialscientist, and any other editors who have an opinion:

Should the 'Part of a series on Antennas' infobox be removed from this article? (You need to scroll down to the end of the page near 'See also')

• Remove - I don't see the connection from this article to "Antennas". Yes, the ITU manages spectrum, but I don't think that is a strong enough connection to antennas to warrant the inclusion of this infobox. - Dyork (talk) 19:35, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
• Remove - I don't see any kind of need to keep it. This article isn't directly linked to an antenna or antennas. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:25, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Anticipating consensus, I already removed the template among other c/e activity. kbrose (talk) 22:18, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

-Belatedly, I affirm the removal and appreciate being kept in the loop. Cheers.Zurkhardo (talk) 23:15, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

It seems to me also that it is not directly related to antennas Bquast (talk) 11:19, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
