Talk:Ski wax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does klister derive from the Norwegian word klister? In that case, it is understandably that it is sticky, since it literally means "glue" (or "paste"). I think it's very likely that this is the case, but for the moment, I'm trying to find hard proof.
- The norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published an article about the history about klister in 2003, see the google cache Aftenposten:An ode to Klister (in english) --Berland 15:34, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
There's no need to insert links to ski wax manufacturers' websites. Lowrydr310
I edited the kick wax preparation section, but now I realized it's already discussed early in the article.
Why is my link to the WaxFax article continually deleted? There is a lot of valuable information in there. I'm not spamming the Wikipedia text with references to my wax. Although the article contains references to our company, it is more an informative article discussing the most advanced ski wax in existence. When describing the science and advancements in ski wax, its almost impossible not to mention our technology and achievements in the field. -Hertel Wax
-while I wasn't the one deleting your links, I think its entirely plausible to talk about ski wax technology without mentioning your company. Ultimately wax is a pretty simple animal, a hydrocarbon chain with temperature specific saturation (anyone that has taken a semester of organic chemistry can tell you that). Yes you put surfactants in there, but so does everyone else, there is nothing surprising or revolutionary contained in your pdf that demands it be a matter of public record. I'm not going to remove your links (I'll leave that to people more accustomed to dealing with such matters), but I will defend their decision to do so.--FlamingoChavez (talk) 01:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
