To anonymous user 212.17.50.212, who modified my original content, I have reverted to a previous version and then added back in some of the additional information you added, for two major reasons:
- The original introduction read "The storm kettle, also known as the volcano kettle...". You changed this to "The volcano kettle, also known as the kelly kettle...". Why remove the reference to "storm kettle", when this is one of the names by which the device is known? Your edit made the article inconsistent in its terminology, as it refers to it by "storm kettle" later in the article, and indeed the article is titled "Storm kettle". I have now modified the first sentence to include all three names.
- I said that the Kelly kettle is made of aluminium, whereas the Eydon kettle is made of stainless steel. You changed this to say that both were made of aluminium. I own an Eydon kettle (the "Popular" version) and insist that it is made of stainless steel. The Eydon web site has been updated recently and doesn't now appear to say what Eydon kettles are made of, but the older version said that they were made of "spun stainless steel".

[edit] Merge
The kettles described in this article and Thermette are simply manufactured from different materials (copper versus aluminum) and have a slight different shape (cylinder versus cone). The only reason not to merge would be brand name support. The alternative is that each manufacturer has a different page. We'll let this sit for a little while, but then, unless there is some reason not to, a merge should occur. Fremte (talk) 17:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Deadlink. The policy is to tag deadlinks not delete them. This allows them to be repaired later. See [dead link].
Insertion of trademark info. There are multiple manufacturers of these kettles and tagging each of the various names with copyright info is not the solution. We might consider a generic label of "storm kettle" and a new section of modified section on "manufacturers". -Fremte (talk) 20:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
