Thomas Edison was one of the Engineering and technology good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

It could stand some trimming, couldn't it? "Grasshopper telegraphy" really? I suppose if one were deeply immersed in the radio invention controversy one might know about it, but what basis is there to say that he is "known for" it? 2601:642:4600:D3B0:A1B7:99D2:61CB:C097 (talk) 03:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Remove from the "Known for" list the following items that he is not particularly known for:
Grasshopper telegraphy (never developed to practical use, quite obscure outside of radio priority lore, the linked article does not describe it, and the principle is identical with etheric force which article does describe it.)
Phonograph doll (redundant as an application of the phonograph, described at its article as "a sales failure")
Edison screw (redundant as part of the light bulb)
Reclosing, as edit requests which have been contested to any degree are ineligible for re-introduction into the queue (i.e being marked as answered=no) as the queue is designed for edits which are non-controversial, neutral, and immediately actionable. Please seek consensus before re-opening. —Sirdog(talk) 22:39, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done: The Edison screw is certainly noteworthy and is a distinct invention from the Edison Bulb.McYeee (talk) 06:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
