Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Snowshoe. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Atlas snowshoes
Since the snowshoes clearly show the brand name on them I don't think it is necessary to put it in the description. I also think that putting a link to the companies website is completely unnecessary and have removed it. We are not really into promoting brands here at Wikipedia.Theresa Knott &#124; Hasten to trek 21:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Atlas Snowshoes
Atlas Snowshoes do not clearly display a brand name, however the MSR snowshoes are described by their brand name in this section. It seems only fair to have a brand name in the Atlas description if it is in the MSR description.

The MSR snowshoes are described by brand name because that design by that company is specifically discussed in the accompanying text. By contrast, many other brands of snowshoes besides Atlas have that binding, and it just so happens that I have a pair and went out and took the picture to illustrate it.

Please consider that what you have been doing here today (specifically, repeatedly restoring this after it has been reverted) can be seen as disruptive, for which Ms. Knott, myself or any other admin would be at liberty to block you for, possibly indefinitely, if you continue in this fashion.

It is not my intent to blatantly spam Wikipedia and I apologize if it appeared that way. However, the description of the MSR snowshoe is incorrect, Atlas manufactures the BC24 Snowshoe which is specifically designed, engineered, and sold to snowboarders, skiers and and mountaineers for use with heavy plastic boots. In addition Tubbs also manufacturers their Flex line of rigid plastic snowshoes very similar in construction to the MSR. Otherwise it is a good article on snowshoeing. Thanks.

In addition, I edited two image descriptions and added a url in one session, I did not restore my edits after they had been reverted. I apologize for adding the url I did not know that company websites aren't viewed as resources.
