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)[reply]

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)[reply]

So, what you're saying is that his detractors don't have to prove anything? SalJyDieBoereKomLei 19:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Year of Birth

This article has an inconsistency regarding Hall's year of birth. The intro says 1894. Biography says 1738. I'm assuming it's the former, as the latter would make him over 200 years old at the time of his death. Which seems unlikely.

Date of birth? 19 or 21? 2001:56A:F414:D300:9D46:87CD:F888:6418 (talk) 17:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
