It also looks like that claim for TV dating back to the early 19th century is a misread of a couple lines in Wikipedia which credit a crude facsimile system as an ancestor of modern TV. They definitely need to pay closer attention to their sources.
EDIT: Well. I just went to the wiki, and three edits by ArtsyGirl's were waiting in moderation. I approved one, I rejected one (it was the insertion of a space right before the period at the end of a sentence - whaaaa?), and I'm deciding what to do about the third. In addition to being at best only semi-relevant to the page and having essentially random capitalization, what you can't see from that link is that the paragraph she added has been inserted in between two paragraphs about the trope namer. I'm trying to decide whether to approve and fix it, or reject it with a message explaining why and what to do better.
