WikiProject Firearms

Welcome to the WikiProject Firearms. I hope you enjoy being a member.--LWF 14:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Part of a firearm

Boris, I've been toying with the idea of making a brief article for the parts of a firearm, with links to the various articles, or in many cases incorporating the stub articles and removing them. I seem to remember that you had some ability to make technical drawing of firearms. If that is correct, would you be interested in assisting? Arthurrh 16:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I ever mentioned I was capable of making technical drawings. I can do a little CAD etc, but nothing great. So I think you are confusing me with someone else, since I've only joined the project a couple of days ago, and only "met" you the same time. I do want to try it out, however, and if you have some suggestions, I would like to help, by drawing or by writing. --Boris Barowski 17:23, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I thought I saw you do a CAD recently of some firearm, can't remember which one. Maybe it was someone else. If you can do it, I was hoping for a CAD style drawing of a firearm where we could draw little arrows and name the parts like "trigger" "stock" "forearm", etc. Arthurrh 18:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Spelling

My spelling is terrible. Thanks for the cleanup. —Thernlund ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 03:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Glock

The article Glock you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Glock for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review.

Fine work

You're doing some fine work Boris. The firearms articles are really improving. Arthurrh 16:57, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!

× → x

Just wondering why you made these substitutions in the Explosive material article. These were all mathematical expressions, which is what the "×" character is for (to indicate multiplication).--BillFlis 12:27, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

you are entirely correct, it was a mistake. I am preparing a standardisation of the ammunition pages and naming of cartridges, but I must have been a bit to fast pressing "save" even though i tought i was careful. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. -Boris Barowski 13:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Why are you changing any ×'s to x's, 9×19mm looks much better than 9x19mm —MJBurrage • TALK • 06:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all, I don't like ×, and people tend to agree with me (see 7,62mm nato talk page). Milhist concensus for calibers is to use the AxB (name) format (see same page). I'm sorry if I converted multiplication, I tried to avoid them and check 99% of all edits maybe, but some slip trough. --Boris Barowski 19:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Could you provide a link to the guideline section you are referring to? All I could find is a brief and recent discussion at Talk:7.62×51 NATO#Article Name —MJBurrage • TALK • 14:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

M-1 Carbine Revert War

The M1 carbine article is currently on lock down. An administrator has requested some discussion from memeber of the Firearms Wikiproject. Can you take a look? Sf46 (talk) 19:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you.

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page. · AndonicO ^Hail! 11:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

{{reflist}}

Based on past discussion at Template talk:Reflist and elsewhere, there is a sentiment against converting <references /> to {{reflist}} if there are very few references, for readability and aesthetic reasons. –Pomte 21:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
