Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to match, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 06:04, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

I disagree,
That information came from widely recognised pyrotechnics book giving A SPECIFIC FORMULA that does work.... http://www.fireworksnews.com/Item/B4, http://www.ebay.com/itm/130313339785?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

"Principles of Pyrotechnics by A.A. Shidlovskiy A college-level textbook on physical chemistry and how it applies to Pyrotechnics Originally published in 1964 in the USSR, and subsequently translated to English by the US Defense Department, this book is still one of the most frequently cited pyrotechnic references. This new third edition, published in 1997, has been called "the single best scientific text currently in print on the chemistry of pyrotechnics...an absolute must for anyone wanting to take a scientific approach to pyrotechnics" in a recent review. This is a book for advanced or scientifically inclined fire workers. New and extensive index, 272 pages"

The generic formula given was not usable ...you try making it, It's not specific or repeatable. The only references on the given formula is on a webpage citing   "W. N. Jones, Inorganic Chemistry (Philadelphia: Blakiston, 1949). Chapter 20.  and  H. C. Rather, Field Crops (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1942). Chapter IV." Surly they did not get information on making practical pyrotechnic devices from a standard chemistry book and a farming manual.

A pyrotechnician friend Lloyd Sponenburgh from the Florida Pyrotechnic Arts Guild gave me this formula referencing Shidlovskiy.

"Shidlovskiy lists the following: (coating on striker pad of box)

Red Phosphorus 37.2       all in % Sb2S3               33.5 Animal Glue          9.3 Iron Ochre (red iron oxide)          7.0 Dextrin              7.0 MnO2                 3.4 CaCO3                2.0 Ground Glass         0.6"

he quotes te formula you have currentlyh, but he also quotes the other formula. An average person can recreate the "(coating on the box)" match striker, not so much with the formula you have listed

addendum, Phosphorus sesquisulfide P4S3 strike anywhere
There is also a formula for friction "strike anywhere matches" that is not currently on wikipedia Phosphorus sesquisulfide P4S3
