Talk:Balloon modelling

message: There's a lot more info to be had by following the source link, especially on techniques.  It would also really help if someone could upload a few pictures; I might even buy a few balloons and do it myself.  Importance in carnival/fair atmosphere and clowning/stage magic might be appropriate, as well as mention of books, movies, video games where it's used (i.e., The Mask, Kingdom of Loathing, etc.)--Polyparadigm 08:06, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I have checked out 3 different dictionaries to see how "modeling" is spelled.  It shows that Modeling is spelled as "modeling" in America, but as "Modelling" mainly in England.  Are we trying to appeal to America or British users?  If British, than "color" is spelled wrong as it would be "colour".  If we are trying to appeal to Americans, then the title should be spelled "Modeling".  I have changed the body of the texts to reflect in agreement with the spellcheck I have here, but this differs from the title.  Should there be a balloon Modeling and a Balloon modelling page?  
My personal opinion on the matter is we could forgo all this bother and call it "balloon artistry", "Balloon Art", or "Balloon Twisting". LondonTaxi (talk) 06:59, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  IS THE TITLE CORRECT? 

message: This article needs sources.  Also, I believe it contains some incorrect information.  It states that the most common balloons are 2" by 60" and 1" by 60".  I don't believe this correct.  60" is five feet.  The balloons that I have used and which I believe are the most common size for typical balloon animals are probably about 1" to 1.5" by 3.5' or so.  Five feet sounds too long.  JBFrenchhorn (talk) 09:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick search on the web shows a large number of websites (usually wholesalers/retailers) mentioning the sizes of the 160 and 260 as being 1X60 or 2X60 inches.  The sizes are what I was taught when I first started twisting balloons 20 years ago, bu  I agree, I rarely see my balloons grow longer than a 3 feet or so, so I wonder if it should really be 2 cm x 60 cm?  That would be more in line with what I experience.  BUT I would need some source to indicate that was the actual size.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 18:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
