Hi Wtshymanski,

Thanks for re-adding the content outside the applications section. However, I would contend that information being usable and being encyclopedic are two different characteristics. Indeed, your user page lists "big dumb lists" and "wikipedia is not a parts catalog" as "considered harmful." I think the context of the article makes it clear that tubes are still being made; it shouldn't be necessary to itemize the companies that manufacture them, though. Just my two cents. ] (]) 05:34, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Huh?

I came across the indecipherable text in the superheterodyne article and did my best to post a single clear explanation of how it works. You reverted it all back to the indecipherable version, with a single comment that appears to be about grammar? Please explain. Maury (talk) 18:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

"Highly tuned amplifier" I thought was even more indecipherable. The explanation left out the mixer, which is the essence of a superheterodyne receiver. The overview should explain why the extra trouble and expense of a superheterodyne circuit is justified. --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Wtshymanski,

Thanks for re-adding the content outside the applications section. However, I would contend that information being usable and being encyclopedic are two different characteristics. Indeed, your user page lists "big dumb lists" and "wikipedia is not a parts catalog" as "considered harmful." I think the context of the article makes it clear that tubes are still being made; it shouldn't be necessary to itemize the companies that manufacture them, though. Just my two cents.
