I like your disambiguation page History of the telephone but I think it would be a mistake to turn it into a full sized article because that would result in a call for a merger in a few weeks. Better to keep it small with a sentence or two for each reference saying: If you want recent history go here, if you want the early history of the Bell companies and their conflicts with rival companies go here, if you want the early history of telephone technology go here, etc. Greensburger 19:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, this should be the main article for the 'history of the telephone'. Timeline is something different, invention may deserve its own subarticle, but this should be a full-fledget article linked from articles like telephone, with subsections like 'invention' or 'history of mobile phones'. This is a standard way - see History_of_communication#Distance_communication.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 19:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
