Hi Sheldon, All,
Regarding the issue of patents:

There *would* be a problem, however, if Wikipedia were
to treat every
patent application filed and accepted at the U.S. Patent Office as
sufficient documentation to warrant mention in Wikipedia. All kinds
of crackpot scientific theories get patented. (They probably have a
whole wing just for storing blueprints of perpetual motion machines.)
You have seen:
*[[Template:US patent]]
*[[Template:US patent reference]]
*[[Template:Cite patent]]
(incomplete list)
And the inevitable
*[[List of Tesla patents]]
Patents are used a lot as references in our
dark corner where death rays, anti-gravity
devices, free energy machines, and the like
are nurtured by their fans.
Regards,
Peter
