:::::True. I missed the year on that paper. In real life when exactly in 1903 did Tesla receive those signals? And what time of the year does this story take place (since we know the paper is a bit old by the story's placement)? It could help us clarify if the year is 1903 or 1904? --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:39, January 20, 2020 (UTC) | :::::True.

::Now ''that's'' evidence to set this story specifically in the [[1900s]]. :) Real-world chronology does not enter into it, though. If we were ''told'', within the story, that those events were in January, say, with this story taking place just a few months later (ie. definitely fewer than 11), then we might be able to pin down more. Anything without such a foundation in DWU evidence would be speculation and/or [[real world creep]]. Truly, though: nice find!{{User:SOTO/sig}} 23:54, January 20, 2020 (UTC) | ::Now ''that's'' evidence to set this story specifically in the [[1900s]]. :) Real-world chronology does not enter into it, though.

:::Now I've done a bit of research for that specific paper... or more like I've practically been searching the Internet dry... and I can't find a single evidence of this newspaper actually having existed. I've searched in at least 3 different "newspaper archives" for the paper's name and I even used the headline of the article mentioned and checked the dates of each paper. I found absolutely nothing on this newspaper. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:52, January 21, 2020 (UTC) |
