* Nikola Tesla - Some minor tweaks seem necessary to this blurb...
: The first sentence is not a complete one. Suggest changes (underlined) from:
: "Famous photograph of Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla in his laboratory in Colorado Springs around 1899, supposedly sitting reading next to his giant "magnifying transmitter" high voltage generator while the machine produced huge bolts of electricity." to
: <u>This</u> photograph of Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla in his laboratory in Colorado Springs <u>in December</u> 1899, supposedly <u>shows him</u> sitting reading next to his giant "magnifying transmitter" <u>high-voltage</u> generator while the machine <u>produces</u> huge bolts of electricity.

: At "In his Colorado Springs Notes Tesla admitted that the photo is false." change to
: In his notes, compiled in ''[[Colorado Springs Notes, 1899–1900|Colorado Springs Notes]]'', Tesla admitted that the photo is false. [[User:JennyOz|JennyOz]] ([[User talk:JennyOz|talk]]) 04:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
::All tweaks as suggested by JennyOz above have been made in the POTD templates. --[[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] ([[User talk:PFHLai|talk]]) 11:02, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
: Dickenson V. Alley or Dickinson V. Alley? - both spellings are in this blurb and in the file Summary. A Google search (except for [https://teslauniverse.com/nikola-tesla/people/dickinson-v-alley this] which also uses both spellings) shows a prevalence of the "en" spelling, including [https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/05/science/05tesla.html NYT].

::While we sort things out, shall we move this POTD to July 10th, Tesla's 168th birthday? --[[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] ([[User talk:PFHLai|talk]]) 07:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
:::Well then someone needs to make one for the 10th. [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] ([[User talk:Secretlondon|talk]]) 13:54, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
::::I have just moved the Tesla photo to July 10th ([[:Template:POTD/2024-07-10]]), and swapped in [[:File:Celestine - Sakoany deposit, Katsepy, Mitsinjo, Boeny, Madagascar.jpg|a different photo]] for use tomorrow. I hope I have not messed anything up. Thanks. -- [[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] ([[User talk:PFHLai|talk]]) 18:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
::I've put in "Dickenson" with the 'e', just to be consistent. --[[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] ([[User talk:PFHLai|talk]]) 17:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
:::Thanks PFHLai. Good idea to move to 10th! [[User:JennyOz|JennyOz]] ([[User talk:JennyOz|talk]]) 04:45, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
:In the blurb, I think a better wikilink for the "magnifying transmitter" is [[History of the Tesla coil#Magnifying transmitter]]. There are more specifics there in relation to the image and the experiments conducted. [[User:Bammesk|Bammesk]] ([[User talk:Bammesk|talk]]) 16:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
::The link for "magnifying transmitter" has been revised as suggested. Thanks for the suggestion. --[[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] ([[User talk:PFHLai|talk]]) 16:45, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
