Talk:Teleprompter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't TelePromTer a brand name? RickK 03:54, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Should this be moved to the funny capitalization? --Jiang 03:58, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Well, I'm wondering. Is there a generic Teleprompter, or are they all made by the company with the brand name? RickK 04:01, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I suppose we could do a redirect, but how many people are going to know to use this capitalization on (say) a search Dhodges 17:01, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC) Oh wait... there is a redirectDhodges

If anyone knows why exactly TelePrompTer is capitalized the way it is, the article would benefit from it. ---anon. 03:53, 09 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Presidential glass

I added the photo of President Clinton. I hope it doesn't clutter up the article too much -- I think it's a useful depiction of how teleprompters are used. kmccoy (talk) 09:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Suggested merge ==Shalecia Jones

Someone has suggested that this article be merged with idiot board. Strikes me that the latter is a sub-stub scarsely requiring a formal merge. Perhaps we could do a section on colloquial terms for teleprompter. --Dhodges 03:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I have added an etymology section to the document which should help clear up some of the confusion surrounding the trademark status of the word. I also agree that idiot board should be removed, since it fits nicely in the list of generic terms.
