User:Kbrose, you need to review the multiple dictionary definitions of 'mediums'. Tryreference.com which will bring up 6 sources which listmediums as the English plural of 'medium'. In the very first source from Random House, you'll find a note near the bottom:

"Can be confused: media, median, medium, mediums (see usage note at media1 )."

Refer also to the usage note formedia:

"Media, like data, is the plural form of a word borrowed directly from Latin. The singular, medium, early developed the meaning “an intervening agency, means, or instrument” and was first applied to newspapers two centuries ago. In the 1920s media began to appear as a singular collective noun, sometimes with the plural medias.This singular use is now common in the fields of mass communication and advertising,but it is not frequently found outside them: The media is (or are ) not antibusiness.

Presenting information clearly and concisely to our readers, many of whom don't possess an intimate grasp of English, is what Wikipedia strives for. Edit warring over the use of 'mediums' by continually changing it to the more confusing 'media' is clearly counterproductive. Kindly stop edit warring.HarryZilber (talk)15:59, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That page has this template on it, but this template doesn't appear to have that page on it. Can someone add it?58.170.238.184 (talk)02:28, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest adding Oliver Heaviside. An very influential character in the history of telecommunications. Particularly with respect to theories regarding the telegraph and the derivation of maxwell's equationsyeaggermiester (talk) 17:56, 20 November 2017 (UTC)— Precedingunsigned comment added byYeaggermiester (talk •contribs)17:54, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Project Cybersyn should probably be added into the Notable networks section. I would also have suggestedOGAS but it was never realized so it probably doesn't qualify as a "network".2A01:CB08:8B3E:6B00:1073:BE75:6E05:8B0B (talk)21:57, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Internet background noise may be a good fit for this template
