[edit] Please check if a similar article exists before creating a new one

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? Winstonwolfe 23:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

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)

Hi, you might want to add the tag {{User NZ res}} to your user page Onco_p53 01:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Kevlar

Added two good articles and one website (talkpage) the review article gives a good outline of the development!--16:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rowany

Hi Snori, I would have preferred you edited or added to the history additions to the Rowany Festival site, rather than deleting them. It took me quite some time to write those out, check references, and quite a few discussions with SCA people of our recollections of the timeline of Rowany. I apologise if the odd line was cut and pasted from SCA.au, my oversight. I will have another shot at it and this time make sure its a bit clearer. Deathlibrarian 13:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Well maybe. I really think there was too much detail for Wikipedia. It's great to recall/record - but sca.au would be a better place to do the recording imho. Snori 14:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incomplete sentence on the "Broadband Internet access" page

A change you made to the Broadband Internet access page left an incomplete sentence - "Internationally "broadband penetration" is now seen as a key economic indicator, growing rapidily from a near-zero base in 2000 to", with no indication what it went to. Guy Harris 21:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thx, fxd Snori 07:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] regarding Trinity High School haka's Tongan status

Last time you removed the reference to the Haka being Tongan, I reverted the change with a comment indicating that the information was cited and posted a topic on the article's talk page: Talk:Trinity High School (Euless, Texas). Let's talk about the situation there. Thanks! :) --Hebisddave 14:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed your earlier comment. Have put some clarification on the article's talk page now.Snori 13:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to South Africa national rugby union team

Hi. I'm not sure about some of those edits you made. The first thing that struck me is that most of the lead section disappeared. An article should have a lead (as per WP:LEAD) that summarises the article. It went from being two paragraphs to three sentences. Also I don't think you should have renamed the "Seventies and eighties" section "Anti-apartheid protests" — the section was not exclusively on the anti-apartheid protests, but also on their rugby matches. Lastly, the structure of what you have written leaves a lot to be desired. There are many short or one sentence paragraphs, and it's not linked together very well. I don't link to be critical but I really fail to see how many of your edits have improved the article. - Shudde talk 06:24, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, perhaps I overdid it by clobbering most of the lead (I see it's back!), but frankly it needs a good rework with far too much emphisis on the World Cup. As for the Anti-apartheid section that's not just a renaming of the 60-70s, but a reworking all the items from 1960 up until to 1990. It is a bit "choppy", but if no-one else smoothes it out I'll have a go at some point.Snori 15:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
It definitely needs smoothing out. There is nothing wrong with adding information, but the prose was ok (not perfect) beforehand and now is pretty poor. My point about that section title is that it's inappropriate. The section is on more then just about anti-apartheid protests and so should be named something more generic. You may want to work on the prose of the sections you edited, because a lot of people will find it difficult to read as it is now. - Shudde talk 19:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SP on Sailcloth

Any particular word? --Kevin Murray 16:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Mi skellin aint sew gud. --Kevin Murray 02:18, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moa

Any particular reason you altered the headings in moa? I had only just changed them to conform with the usual way of doing things on bird articles. Sabine's Sunbird talk 20:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Because the spelling (Realtionship?, sciencee?) and layout (3.3.1 1993 account) were bad? A look through a few bird articles brought up only one, (albatross) with a layout anything like what you had, so I'm not sure that it's "the usual way". If those issues are fixed I have no problem with that layout though. Snori (talk) 07:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I guess not all the bird people do it. It just seems to make sense since the things are all linked and follow on from each other. Thanks for your copyedits by the way. Sabine's Sunbird talk 20:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
