Talk:Telephones Company Building

Misleading summary

This is by no means a copy edit. I presume that the person who made the edit, who I know is not a native speaker of English, merely misunderstood the term, and that this misleading summary was an accident. A copy edit should make only stylistic changes, and minor ones at that (spelling, punctuation grammar). Any change of substance takes things out of the realm of a copy edit. The addition of an entire new paragraph is a utterly out of that realm. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Morgan

"…to take a loan from the American trust, Morgan", while accurate, is vague. How large a loan? Which Rockefeller/Morgan bank (there were at least five at the time). Etc. Eventually, we should have an article on SART, which is where we should really sort this out. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:26, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Function of building

I have found nothing citable on the functions of the building. How much was originally offices, how much was set aside for telephone switches? What is the situation now? Did operations completely cease there during the long structural repairs? What exactly broadcasts and/or uses satellite hookups from the roof, and when were these installed? -- Jmabel | Talk 02:26, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Recent changes

[1]: For all I know this may be correct; I'd appreciate citation, though. All I can find online for the spelling Edmond Van Saanen Algi and the claim that he was a Romanian of Dutch origin is This discussion on a forum. Edmond Van Sanen Algi and "New York-based" are citable to Observatorul [2]. Yet another spelling -- Edmond van Saanen-Algi -- can be found at This article on Bellu cemetery.

Louis Wecks and Walter Troy was citable to a site associated with the Romanian Academic Library. Louis Weeks and Walter Froy: the only online citations are a forum post and a a caption on a photo in Machine Building Review.

I have no idea what is true, and it may be that the anon who changed this has better sources that I am unaware of. I'm weakly inclined to revert, just because the new material was added without citation. - Jmabel | Talk 06:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
