[edit] Moving to Wiktionary?

User:Mzajac marked this article as a candidate for moving to Wiktionary. Why? The article discusses the history of ranged weapons and thus goes beyond the scope of Wiktionary, which is just to give a definition. --ZeroOne 11:10, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Missile weapon

What's the preferred name for that term, "Ranged weapon" or "Missile weapon"? Should we move this article to missile weapon? Nik Sage • Talk 17:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
