User talk:Thomas H. White
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Thomas H. White! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 12:23, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Thomas, you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science, which tries to coordinate work on articles related to the history of science and technology.--ragesoss 23:21, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nathan Stubblefield
Thanks for adding the scanned articles from Trumbell White and Waldon Fawcett. Stubblefield was an amazing inventor. I have followed his work for abut 40 years, and communicated with his son, shown in one of the illustrations. It just shows that for every Marconi or even Tesla, there were a hundred Stubblefields who labored without any reward or recognition. Edison 06:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
