message: I don't know how to edit the reference properly, so I'll just comment here. The nh.gov pointer is obsolete. There is now a third edition, maybe someone can fix the text.

thread_title: Banter

message: If you look at all these pages together, they clearly belong in this one place with some proper redirects. Discuss. I assume there are some other pages that can be placed here as well. Teque5 05:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: German Salute

message: This page spends most of it's space discussing amateur-built pyrotechnics that are illegal in the United States and many other countries.  I think it would serve better to group the discussion of "bootleg" salutes and then include information about professional salutes, currently made and sold legally.  An aside:  silver salutes were commercial items, made up until circa 1966.  -- NReitzel (talk) 20:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Reorganization

message: Hi. I wonder how much of this article is of general significance. As a UK reader, this seems like a list of product descriptions. Is that a fair observation? Could some of the general comments be transferred to the fireworks article, and the rest deleted?
I've done some tidying and tweaking, but I got tired (awwwwww!); even in its present form the article needs some attention.
Regards to all,

thread_title:  Notability? 

message: I tagged this article for lack of inline citations: . Please take some time to find out why and how to make inline citations at Wikipedia:Inline citation.
Repeated insertion of this rant (later tweaked to this version) quickly resulted in a vandalism block of the contributor: .

thread_title:  Inline citations 

message: Most of the sections are not written in a formal encyclopedic tone. It appears that a small number of editors have been adding informally-written and poorly-sourced content for at least 10 years, despite efforts by others to clean up the article. In addition to cleaning up the tone and formatting, I think it would be appropriate to add a "Formulas" section instead of repeating the same information for each type of salute. The key to improving this article will be stopping the inappropriate edits. Dlthewave (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tone 

message: I removed a section of text in the M-80 section which was copied verbatim from the source. I also left a WP:COPYVIO warning at User_talk:Pyrogrimace. Dlthewave (talk) 16:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Also removed content from Ashcan and Formulas which was copied from the same source by the same user. Dlthewave (talk) 16:44, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

text: I have once again removed copy-and-pasted content which was added by Pyrogrimace. Dlthewave (talk) 00:41, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copyright Violation 

message: I've noticed over the past number of years that this article has been utterly destroyed, in terms of scope and quality of information. The images are all gone, the dimensions on the salutes are frequently wrong (or invented, in the case of salutes that don't really exist), and useful information has simply been removed. I'll go through the revisions and note when this page peaked in quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulbrevik (talk • contribs) 15:38, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see here before restoring any previous version. Unfortunately most of the content had to be deleted because it was either copy-and-pasted, unsourced or not written in an encyclopedic style. That said, any effort to rebuild the article would certainly be appreciated as long as it is done in the appropriate style and in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. –dlthewave ☎ 01:42, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
