I deleted an extended passage taken verbatim from one of the references. Including a passage like that isn't entirely encyclopedic. If someone reverts the passage, they should also display the license under which it is copied. Swmcd 2005 July 4 17:30 (UTC)

[edit] more formal, more informative

This article needs to be more formal, more informative; less link-to-pictures-found-on-the-'Net. - CobaltBlueTony 21:57, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to pare down the external links. If someone can get us free pics of the relevant fireworks (EG. An M-80, silver salute and cherry bomb), we can completely remove the "Photos" section. 68.39.174.238 05:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All M-80's are ILLEGAL!!!

This is especially important during the July 4th season in the US. According to the American Pyrotechnics Association if they were legal they would not be classified as M-80's or "salutes". The ATF arrests manufacturers and according to the APA you should call the local authorites if you find them lying around. This comes to you from a pyromaniac who likes to stay within the law.
