Longbow
Thank you for your edits to Longbow. However, the information you added should really be in the correct area of the main body of the article and only summarized in the lead, per WP:LEAD, and it needs to have reliable sourcing per WP:RELIABLE. ( Hohum  @ ) 19:49, 8 December 2016 (UTC)


 * It's in hand but past my bed time. I understand about citations but my library is not accessible right now. And I'm not arguing the point but FYI the fact that there are citations does not obviate the fact that someone is "authoratitively" quoting canards and outdated accepted wisdoms on a topic that has obviously been read about more than expertly practiced for the best part of 70 years.
 * I can tell by what has been written (with citations from not always reliable authority.
 * As my old teacher used to say "Just because it's in print doesn't make it right".
 * Bear with me, I'll get the hang of it soon enough/
 * I don't even know if this is how to use this talk page.

 * WP:THREAD shows how threaded conversations are normally done on talk pages. I've adjusted this conversation accordingly. Some subjects are in desperate need of experts to get them to the quality we'd like them to be, so hopefully you can help us. Some wikipedia rules do seem strange at first, but they are mostly there for a good reason. ( Hohum  @ ) 01:07, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
