HOWTO: Please go to the model page and click the blue info button on the right above. Then either use the link in the lower link bar "Suggest change" (for model data) or "Add information or ask a question ..." for adding pictures, schematics, a forum text, a collector price, an audio clip or create your ad. (EE) It is one of the unique feutures of the Radio Museum that every member can contribute by adding information, mainly from their own collection and knowledge.

The following may bring an insight about the way we admins are running our business.It was an introductory mail to one of our model admins when he joined the team. The personalised part has been omitted and slight corrections made. 1) My own first priority is to safeguard correct allocation of US model pictures. For this purpose I got Image admin right (For models only). 1.1) Consequently I have to check / update / alter existing model pages or propose a new model. 1.2) The related "family" (all sets having same chassis or variants) has to be treated the same. 2)As far as time allows one manufacturer after the other shall be revised maybe starting with the earliest issues. There are many doublets in the system, since in an early attempt somebody had copied only headlines from Riders to achieve an initial raw structure. Currently I am at year 1939 with Zenith and I hope to get Zenith (at least until 1954 or so) in a few weeks ready. Let´s see... The notation is also often not consistent. Of course we have to cope with different ways for different nations and suppliers, but it has proved useful to carry on the way I had chosen for the US sets. Have a look to Zenith for the Years up to 1938. In case of minor deviations (where no false information is involved) I even refrained from a correction, which can easily be made later. 3) I would be grateful for Your assistence in all these fields except the pictures, since there the number of admins is limited, and I reserved the exclusive right to accept US model pictures. Once I got control there is no other way to keep it . You wouldnt believe how many erroneous names are in use(even in collections) if people try to upload photos.... 3.1) Which manufacturer You are starting with, doesnt matter. I would recommend popular ones like RCA, Crosley, etc, but that is up to You. 3.2) of course the "daily" business would also gratefully accept Your cooperation. It is highly variable: sometimes only a few things, and then mountains of suggestions to check and vote on. My way: after daily system runup a quick check of the admin page. Often the duties (as far as I am feeling responsible) can be discharged in few minutes or max. half an hour. I am looking forward to our future cooperation. You will find Your way, and we will find our common way. In future there will be a further German admin for US models.Not only for myself, for both of us, for You and me, such redundancy is highly desirable."
It is certainly a wide field we have to till..... |
