For example, the article Pit oven, which you recently created, is about the same thing as Cooking pit. Thanks. —Keenan Pepper 07:36, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Snori, as per your suggestion, I cleaned up the section on treatment of plantar warts. It was horrible! Philiphughesmd 03:02, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bill hilf article

I have expanded, cleaned up, and very much reduced the tone of the Bill Hilf article, which you created. I'm not sure why you thought the original version was neutral, but please do try a little harder to not create articles with such negative tone. Thanks. ... aa:talk 00:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I've also cleaned up the Daniel Robbins article, to which you contributed. ... aa:talk 01:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ballista and bow

Many modern bows do work with elasticity instead of strain. Furthermore there do exist ballista bows. So I want to point out the use of torsion springs, elasticity or strain does not define a bow, but the use of a chord and a bow like multiplie prod crossbows (not only existing as siege engines).

Once again ballista belongs to the family of crossbows. Wandalstouring 10:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me. --Snori 10:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hongi Hika

I note you reverted my correction of what I felt was poor syntax. Obviously we disagree on the syntax. However, rather than continuing an edit war on this, can we get to the root cause of the problem? I think the problems arise because the whole scentence is rather clumsily written - perhaps a real solution would be to break that scentence up into two or three scentences. Any objection?

Yes, I think you're right. I've plowed in with what I think is an improvement, but feel free to improve, or even revert if you've a better way to knock this into shape. --Snori 08:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
