Talk:Pyrotechnics

message: Does this section really have a legitimate place in this entry? This is intended to be an encyclopedia, and this section does not detail the construction or operation of flashpots in general, and is primarily an assault on the practice of homebuilding them. An encyclopedia does not have the authority to say "should" or "shouldn't". At the most, this paragraph should be changed to make the danger known, and nothing else.

message: I don't think it's appropriate to merge with this article, primarily since "pyrotechnics" deals primarily with equipment, products, and techniques.  It seems more likely inflammist would fit in with pyrotechnician, since both are about the individuals who operate effects; however , as the article is written now it is not suitable for merger.  The whole second half of the "inflammist" article suffers from the same problem as the Homemade Devices section does in this article: its A) not something you necessarily want to teach people; and B) it's unverifiable, and therefore unreferenceable.
The cynic in me also finds it odd that all the references to the topic in a quick internet search turn up the wikipedia entry, and nothing else...  DJSparky     huh? 04:15, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inflammist 

message: Don't forget Buffalo Bill, and the gamut of early American road shows. This is a section - nay a page - that needs total rework. I call bogus on it now. Too narrow vision, too partisan.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.82.243.150 (talk) 06:44, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

message: This section is just a giant list of pyrotechnic incidents, and needs to be removed, instead we should just explain pyrotechnic incidents and how they happen, without giving solutions or any other detail.

Hi there, I would like to question the fact that this image is on the wikipedia entry for pyrotechnics. The gentlemen on stage are using propane (of other hydrocarbon) to create their effect. This is not pyrotechnics and to be honest we of the fire art community are constantly trying to explain to authorities that we do not need a pyrotechnics license to perform our art and I was just about to point one of them to this wikipedia page when I realised that your photo does not represent the page and it might cause even more confusion!
I am not familiar with the field, but thought it might be worth flagging (I didn't see any obvious discussion of this in the past history of this page).
