For help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style.

If you need help look at Help and the FAQ.

If you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)!

There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library.

Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal.

Feel free to post questions on my user talk page or place  on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.

You may want to add yourself to the new user log.

If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

On IRC, check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. &mdash; Kf4bdy talk contribs

Hi Dedoo, nice to hear from you.

It is important that articles are written from a neutral point of view. Neutral_point_of_view

The addition of Marc Aroner, who is a living rod builder, raises concerns about notability.

As you know, the articles are meant to be encyclopedic in nature, which means accessible to all about a given topic. So, it doesn't matter that "all rod builders" know something. What matters is what makes it relevant to the masses.

Resources that might make a difference in this article include:


 * Walton, Isaac. The Compleat Angler, London [1856] - This 1856 edition contains a mention by the publisher of Henry C. Bohn making rods with bamboo.


 * McClane, A.J. The Wise Fisherman's Encyclopedia, New York, Wm H. Wise & Co, Inc, 1951


 * Herter, G.L. Professional Split Bamboo Rod Building Manual and Manufacturer's Guide, Herter [1949] - 152 pages


 * Engle, Ed. Splitting Cane - Conversations with Bamboo Rodmakers, Stackpole Books, [2002] - (Conversations with 16 of today's bamboo rodmakers. Note: Aroner is not included in this comprehensive book.).


 * Farelly, David. The Book of Bamboo, Sierra Club Books [1984] - A comprehensive guide to it's uses, and it's history.


 * Cattanach, Wayne. Handcrafting Bamboo Rods, Cattanach [1992] & The Lyons Press (Revised edition) [2000] - A comprehensive guide to building bamboo fly rods


 * Payne & Co. E. F. Payne Rod Co. Corporate Record Book, Centennial [199?] - 1930-1968 Corporate Record Book & History. Does not contain information on rods.


 * Wright, L. M. Jr. (ed.). The Fly Fisher's Reader, Simon & Schuster [1990] - Chapter on Hiram Leonard by Sparse Grey Hackle

Garrison and Carmichael did not write the bible on bamboo fly-rod building. Most of the techniques in the book are not useful due to complexity.

The DVD "Trout Grass" and one of its producers, Andy Royer, are deep on the subject of Tonkin Cane. 

In addition, you could use as a potential resource. Charles Demerest has been around a long time.

Hope this helps.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dedoo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dedoo~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:23, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
