Lead image
[edit ]@Redraiderengineer: I saw your edit summary, "The lead image should be representative and not primarily decorative per the MoS." The portion of the MoS that I believe is relevant says,
Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see. Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic.
Since a typical phone today is a smartphone, not an AT&T push-button landline, isn't a picture of a smartphone a more "natural and appropriate representation... of the topic"? Luke10.27 (talk) 03:46, 9 January 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

Innocenzo Manzetti was the inventor of the telephone
[edit ]Innocenzo Manzetti was the inventor of the telephone, Bell copied his invention and I try to buy Manzetti's patents. Where can I send you the sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.29.207.158 (talk) 08:36, 2 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Feel free to list them here. It's a talk page so don't worry about making them look nice. But they need to be good because Innocenzo Manzetti#Speaking telegraph (telephone) says that there is no evidence to support it. That could be wrong, of course. --JMF (talk) 15:33, 12 April 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Manzetti's patents are for sale?? He died in 1877, so who gets the money? But even if you do buy one, I'm not sure you'll make a lot of money. People prefer Apple iPhones these days. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:38, 12 April 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- p.s. the Manzetti article says "
Although he did not patent his device it was reported in Paris, and likely in the press around the world.
" So you might find it tricky to buy one? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:53, 12 April 2025 (UTC) [reply ]- i think you are being unkind to a contributor whose first language is not English. I thought it rather obvious that they meant that Bell had tried to buy the patents. JMF (talk) 18:16, 12 April 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
