[edit] Manufacture

Surprised to see there doesn't seem to be any detail of it's manufacture. The article would be much more useful if there were.

[edit] Parkes

I have finished a brief run down on Parkes' creation and failure, and I have added the important part about Spill persuing Hyatt's patenting of their similar product, the judge ruled Parkes as the rtue inventor but he wasn't around to worry about sadly, then again maybe this helped in the U.S. advances that took place after this final court case. See here for my sources. Thanks Nick Boulevard 21:13, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Other categories

This should also be somewhere under one of the polymers categories, possibly this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Organic_polymers

[edit] Xylonite

For many years celluloid was also known as Xylonite through its parallel development on both sides of the Atlantic. I have noted this and linked Xylonite to Celluloid. Ephebi 17:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Henry Merton

I have taken the liberty of removing the incorrectly-formatted, unsourced addition from one "Henry Merton". If this info can be backed up, it may warrent its own section, but please read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style first, especially Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles,_headings_and_sections.Phsyron (talk) 20:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
