[edit] External Links
I noticed that a couple of users removed a link (http://www33.brinkster.com/iiiii/inventions/lloydhall.asp) that I had added to this page. What, is there something in that link that contests whatever deep-seated belief that they hold dear? How about if they decisively prove that the information provided by that link is false/inaccurate/biased, instead of resorting to petty vandalism? 69.118.97.26 20:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nope, they don't have to. Your link has no contect. Please actualy write something in the article that can be verified from a reliable source. --Doc 00:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- So, what you're saying is that his detractors don't have to prove anything? SalJyDieBoereKomLei 19:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Saljy, reread this. And think. A "detractor" doesn't have to prove anything if there is nothing to disprove, in this instance a website dedicated to disproving Inventors of African Descent. For instance, the www33.brinkster.com site refers to a traffic signal by Hoge Patent# 1,251,666 as being a source for discrediting Garret Morgan's Traffic Signal. Although, according to the USPTO: U.S. Pat. No. 1,251,666 issued to James B. Hoge discloses a municipal traffic control system that was rather advanced for its day. It includes the sending of signals from a central fire or police station to control traffic lights ("STOP" and "MOVE") as well as an aerial signal 65 having a whistle type warning signal therein.
Brinkster uses legitimate references in hopes that people will not call him on his bluffs.
