[edit] Article clean up
I did a bunch more cleanup on this article yesterday, and added a couple of photos. I also changed the roller skating article to include a link to this page. The history stuff is mostly covered in the roller skating article currently, though some should be included here -- but what was here was a huge copyright violation pulled directly off someone's web page, so I removed it. As far as adding history back, we should probably just keep it specifically relevant to inlines and leave the wider picture of roller skating history to either the roller skating article, or some possible future History of Roller Skating article. IMHO. :) (and Happy Halloween!) ManekiNeko | Talk 21:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Follow-up: I was asked on my talk page to clarify what the copyvio was: it was the complete (or nearly so) text of the article at this web site. The author was given credit on the Wikipedia page, so maybe the editor who added that content didn't realize that it was still copyvio. (The material is copyrighted, and reproducing the entire article is not fair use.) Besides the copyvio issue, devoting that much article space to one particular early skate design seemed a bit odd. A briefer description of that design (along with other inline variations) would be cool, though. ManekiNeko | Talk 23:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edits by 218.170.11.141
I reverted the all-upper-case edits by 218.170.11.141. There may have been some useful information in there, but it didn't look professional the way it was. If anyone is interested in including some of that information, it's all there in the history. NoIdeaNick 08:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
