[edit] pop culture

List of trivia don't belong in wikipedia (see what wikipedia is not: WP:NOT, specifically "lists of trivia"). If anything the Smith&Wesson page needs to be trimmed. Listing each occurrence of a walther in every film or video games is almost completely insignificant. If we are talking about the S&W Model 29 and the Dirty Harry movies, then yes the pop culture connotation becomes significant. For trivial list of appearances, please see List of firearms in video games and List of firearms in films. --Deon Steyn 06:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] P99

I hardly would consider the P99 "legendary". P38 and PPK yes. P99 no.

I can add: P99 was the gun not only of James Bond, but also gun of German policeman Alexander Brandtner from "Kommissar Rex" TV series (do you remember the famous German Shepherd?). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.0.210.102 (talk) 15:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

Shouldn't be rename this to Carl Walther GmbH or similar, and then make Walther a redirect or disambig. In the long-term Walther is likely to have conflicts. Arthurrh 20:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Walter 938.jpg

Image:Walter 938.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
