: Bell defeated over 600 legal challenges to his patent and is widely recognized as the inventor of the telephone, no matter what a few politicians may say over a century later. This is an encyclopedia, not an exercise in obscure trivia. If an examination asks who invented the telephone, the correct answer is Alexander Graham Bell. Don't change that fact, though you can add a criticism or alternative theory section at the end that sets forth your view, with citations. Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 12:45, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
