Collectors

I have made an edit for the following reasons:

Glass strain insulators - the article is about strain insulators, which have been made of a number of materials and not just glass.
Glass strain insulators - collectors collect insulators made of a number of materials and not just glass.
... first produced in the 1850's ... - production predates this by at least 20 years. One reference to check is 'Insulators for High Voltages. J.S.T.Looms. IEEE. 1988.'

Strain insulator

Please stop removing the references from the Strain Insulator article. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a note of my edit - it is not vandalism and so I have changed the title of your post. Please do not make false allegations.
What you claim is a reference is not a reference as it is a link is to an external website which does not support the content of the sentence to which it was attached. I have moved the link to a more appropriate section of the article, which is 'External links."

To the unsigned IP making edits: you keep removing references so it is clear you do not understand what a reference is, or you are a vandal. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make claims of vandalism where they are clearly not relevant. FYI: a reference supports what is written whereas the link that you inserted did not, and consequently I moved it to where it was most appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.238.178 (talk) 22:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another reference [1]. Does this meet with your approval? - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving aside the apparent sarcasm of your recent message which is not constructive, just as the previous false vandalism allegations, I am unable to comment about this link as I do not know to what it is supposed to support. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.238.178 (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Both references you removed have to do with people who collect insulators, especially antique ones. However since you seemingly enjoy removing references and leaving incongruous explanations for your actions, I will leave you to your fun. - LuckyLouie (talk) 00:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My edits have had a single aim, which has been to improve the article. Whereas you have made unhelpful and irrelevant edits, and this appears to be because you have no knowledge of the subject. It is just as well that you have now decided to leave this article alone. Perhaps in the future you will adopt a more constructive approach both to editting other articles and how you communicate to other people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.238.178 (talk) 00:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

some guys got the idea that strain insulators are in compression sometimes, of course that's nonsense, or they're vandals —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.170.59.139 (talk) 22:36, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
