Scissors

Neat! I saw some of your edits on my watchlist and I agree a discussion of manufacturing is a great idea. I'm worried you've gone a little overboard with images -- maybe not, I haven't looked really closely yet -- but certainly I'll give the text a once-over when I have the chance. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, a pointer to the source for the 1967 information would be much appreciated (even if it is a Swedish-language source, or something like that.) —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for good help! About the source for the 1967 info - as beginner I do not have the best routine for the creation of External links in this case. But I simply give you what I have found:

Start with: www.fiskars.com/US find the Fiskars site, first row, click "About Us"
then in the new orange field at left, click "Why Orange?"
then in the new text at right last row find: "Interested in the full story? Download our 88 page book..." click "Download"
and you will get the document as a PDF file (Acrobat.. file size 4,22 MB).
You will find that the web-link to this file is:
www.fiskars.fi/pdf/Fiskars_history_eng.pdf

After open this file, on page 41 you have the brass-handled scissors as No.8, the Classic as No.6, and on the page 40 see the text No.8 Taylor's scissors 1880, No.6 Classic 1967.

Perhaps it could be possible to have the last file as an External link ? Comet27 20:11, 29 March 2006 (UTC), Classic 1967 added. Comet27 04:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I have edited "Scissors" and tried to put in a Note [1] at a new input about Leonardo da Vinci, with model from your user page using <ref>"Uppfinningarnas Bok" etc. </ref> but the referenced book can not be seen! How should it be made?Comet27 19:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I did it for you. In brief, you put <references/> wherever it is you want the list of footnotes to show up. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I have now added to the History some info about history in "our time" from 1967 and with a link to the site of Fiskars Corporation and ther own history in 88 pages on a PDF-file. On page 39 is the history from 1967 and on page 41 pictures of scissors. This file has Fiskars alredy put available on the Swedish Wikipedia, from the article:Sax you find the link Fiskars and so on.Comet27 06:58, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I still think that sentence is wrong, eventhough it is under the History section. It is a fact that Finland _was_ a part of Sweden. As far as I know that isn't the case today. Markusbo123 14:37, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello Markusbo123, your comment is of course also right. Historical events can surely be described in different ways. Some events may be left out if deemed unimportant – or mentioned as events of importance. - - In 1649 the Dutchman Peter Thorwoste got a licence of the Swedish Queen Christina for the foundation of an Ironworks at Fiskars Village in the Eastern part of Sweden (today Finland). 500 years earlier Swedish people had started immigration to this territory occupied by some nomadic people. There was no state, no country called "Finland" at that time. The people in Fiskars Village were Swedes, and the majority have been Swedish-speaking up to the 1960s. The historical aspect here is of course that Finland's oldest industrial enterprise FISKARS, still active, has served 160 years under the realm of Sweden, 108 years under Russia, and 89 years in the independent Finland – all the time a private enterprise. During 329 years (up to 1978) the leading people and knowing hands of the industry of FISKARS have been Swedish-speaking people. In 1978 FISKARS built a Scissors plant in Wausau, Wisconsin. During the Jubilee year 1999 persons employed by the FISKARS Co. were about 4800, of which 4000 in Wausau. An attempt to express all this shortly could be "In a part of Sweden (today Finland) an ironworks was started 1649 …" Comet27 20:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey! Your last edit looks much better now. I was just concerned that people with less knowing in European geography would make the inaccurate conclusion that Finland still is a part of Sweden. Markusbo123 15:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Above second paragraph Bunchofgrapes said that a pointer for the source of information would be appreciated, so the Notes at the end of this article have been reintroduced. Comet27 20:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the recent edit you made to Talk:Scissors has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Comet27. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Comet27~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
