Talk:The Long Telegram

Transcription infidelity?

This document was either scanned or inexpertly transcribed. Does anyone have access to a better copy, or a photographic copy of the original message before coding or after decoding in Washington? Patrick0Moran (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• The content on this page appears to be directly copied from here. This erroneous version can be compared against an excerpt here which seems to contain everything from Part I on. Musicguyguy (talk) 23:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
  • Here is a photocopy of the original telegram(8MB pdf) from the Truman Library. In a nutshell, fidelity of transcription looks ok to me on a quick perusal. Darrell Greenwood (talk) 21:32, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup

This original source lacks a lot of words, mostly articles. That makes reading this text tiring and difficult. However most can be unabiguously restored. Would it be Ok to create a The Long Telegram (cleaned) page for this? First as a verbatim copy, so that the changes are easily viewed. —unsigned comment by TriTachionTertiary (talk) .

You could create an Annotated edition at The Long Telegram/Annotated if you wish; see WS:ANN for information —Beleg Tâl (talk) 15:52, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
