[edit] Merge rotomold into this page

I agree that the rotomold page should be merged into the rotational molding page. Pro crast in a tor 10:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Rotomold should be merged in; these entries are the same things and rotational molding is obviously a more common name so it should be chosen as the base article. Britiju 21:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia is not an advertising service

Hello 81.76.114.56, I reverted your re-insertion of a number of links to businesses that do rotational moulding, as well as the "products" section that showers praise on rotomolded kayaks, hot tubs, and bins of some sort, while ignoring the thousands of other possible products in the world (and, implicitly, inviting them to add descriptions of their own products).

The listings I removed because wikipedia is not a directory: WP:NOT#DIR. The products section seems to fall under the "links normally to be avoided" list in WP:EL, as well as ads WP:ADS.

Please do not undo these changes, Wikipedia guidelines and policy are quite clear that these sorts of listings are not appropriate for wikipedia. Pro crast in a tor 20:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tooling

To user 209.8.41.106, I would apprecaite to know of your reasons for the removal of my edits on rotomolding tooling. As far as I know what was stated there is acurate and brought something new to that section of the article. Tooling in rotomolding is much different from other production technology and it is of interest to know so. I am willing to discuss any concerns you might have about the material so that we can find a middle ground to this.

Previously before being removed: Molds (or tooling) are either fabricated from welded sheet steel or cast. The fabrication method is often driven by part size and complexity; Most intricate parts are likely made out of cast tooling.

Hi Britiju, it appears that in user 209.8.41.106's zeal to re-add the products section and the external advertising links I removed, they also stepped on your edits. I don't think the removal had anything to do with your edit. I've reverted the edit by 209.8.41.106, restoring your text. If it happens again, and from the same IP, we'll know where to send the warning messages. Pro crast in a tor 11:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pro crast in a tor. Thanks for the information, I couldn't make any sense for that edit but now I do. We'll check for these type of behavior in the futur. Britiju 14:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
