Hi Bob, if you are connected to this company, http://www.kellfire.com/, it's nice to have an expert around on the subject of fireworks. A simple Google search turns up that link. But we do have some formatting and content policies that need to be adhered to. I'm going to take a shot at formatting your addition to the Fireworks article.

 * Thanks, I might know a little about fireworks, but I have a lot to learn about Wikipedia Bob Kellner (talk) 00:37, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Just remember, as much of an expert as you are on the subject of fireworks, any information that you add must be properly sourced. The policy on that is here, WP:RS. I would assume that you are far more aware of sources of information about fireworks that you can quote than the average person. Careful about trade journals as they tend to be self serving for an industry and fairly promotional.

By the way, I've advocated for a split up of the Fireworks article for a while now. Its getting fairly unwieldy and hard to read. there's a discussion on the Talk page. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 00:54, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Bob, if you are connected to the NFA, you can't write about it, its considered a conflict of interest. Please do not make further edits about the organization. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 00:38, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

One other thing, since you seem to be fairly closely connected to the NFA, it would be best if you post an Edit request on the respective Talk page if you want information about the organization added. In the Fireworks article, I've basically assumed responsibility for your edits by correcting the format and the sources. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 00:53, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
