Perhaps a note should be added that sound sensors are pressure change activated. The inclusion here of seismic sensor has me scratching my head. SNR would be an issue for any device I can envision. Does the author mean 'seismic activity detector' -- which I understand is a microphone set atop a volcano, and is of limited quantitative utility? Great article overall!!! P.S. I'm removing from most wanted list... this is clearly no longer a stub! Fabartus 02:26, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Added cleanup notice. Page still needs a lot of organising/tidying.-- Light current 23:51, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Proposed merging in Detector, at least the parts pertaining to the general sense of the word. Please discuss at Talk:Detector. -- The Photon 05:19, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
sensor basically consists of two stages: transduction and transformation.the transduction stage may be called as detection or the detector stage — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.41.33.7 ( talk) 07:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
This article does not have a definition of sensors, just proceeds straight to the Overview. Can someone pop it in there please? Leemorrison 14:04, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Also, the article says "A sensor is a type of transducer", but the transducer article has a list of types of transducers and sensor is not in that list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.240.179.100 ( talk) 11:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
"A sensor is a device which receives and responds to a signal when touched." - I don't believe magnetic sensors are touched, at least not physically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.129.150.234 ( talk) 13:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Overall quality of the article is O.K. but it doesn't discuss Proximity sensors. Perhaps these should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.241.108.122 ( talk) 15:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I removed a lot of content from the chemical sensor section because it didn't name any actual sensors; it just made vague implications that chemical sensors were used in application A and application B.
I think the article is better if it has the same format as the electrical and mechanical sensors. I.e. this article should be a large index of sensors and if readers want details they can go to the specific sensors.
I think general information that applies to most or many sensors is fine but not loads of details about specific sensors. That makes the article unwieldy.

Massive vandalism deletion was incorrectly edited, causing significant loss of material. Restored and updated the one valid edit edit. Please monitor articles you watch for deletionist vandalism by back-comparing to your last edit. Thanks, Leonard G. ( talk) 01:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
This was in the intro:
This seems like a very specific example, but I'm not sure of what (I considered putting it under electromagnetic or biometric in types but didn't think it quite fit). Seems like a bit of an advertisement with a company name in it. I just took it out and moved it here, we can move it back if we clean it up and figureout where it goes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RJFJR ( talk • contribs) 17:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
I think a new section should be added to the page of sensor which is the type of sensors. According to context awareness related to computer science there are three types of sensors:

Can the bionic sonsors (IR sensor, stretch sensor) developed by Dedy Wicaksono (TU Delft) be mentioned ? http://dedywicaksono.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/my-phd-research/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.245.64.190 ( talk) 11:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
I suggest a brief explanation of response time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.118.94.175 ( talk) 22:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Translation of the Japanese comments on this article make it clear that they are spam/ads/vandalism. I can't find a template to put on this page so I'm going to Be Bold and remove them. -- Iamjp180 ( talk) 20:51, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
We need to have integration time somewhere and the concept is fairly generic so add the section here or in signal processing? Hcobb ( talk) 22:07, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Please clarify the difference between resolution and sensitivity.-- عبد المؤمن ( talk) 17:20, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
This is a very broad topic, and I don't think that the thermocouple photograph illustrates the subject well (the measurement rig is also quite messy overall). I suggest that we either remove that image, or use a "multiple image" template with a diverse range of examples. How about it? Anonimski ( talk) 23:01, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Dear sensor editors,
I started reviewing the article and I'll be working on it to add more reference and clean up a bit. Join me if you feel like. The main references will the the VIM: International vocabulary of metrology and the book Sensors and Signal Conditioning.
happy editing let me know if you would suggest a certain table of contents to be filled out! keep sensing,
