Hi Loa, in [[.277 FURY]], is "FURY" supposed to be an acronym? If it isn't, then the title and usage in the article shouldn't be in all caps. But I didn't want to move the article only to have someone point out that it is an acronym after all. Thanks. [[User:BilCat|BilCat]] ([[User talk:BilCat|talk]]) 18:45, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

:I see no indication that it's an acronym, as if it were, I imagine one of the several publications that's talked about it would have explained what it actually stood for. Between the FURY, the MCX SPEAR, and probably a few others, writing their product names in all caps just seems to be something that SIG likes to do.

Revision as of 14:21, 21 April 2022

Just FYI

Not a big deal, but this revert in November restored vandalism that stuck in the article till Hazhk caught it yesterday. Obviously everyone mistakes, but if it were me I'd want to know, so just thought I'd bring it to your attention. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 13:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pacific War Edit

Hi Loafiewa. I'm not sure what type of source to use for the edit you removed on the Pacific War. The article described Midway as the last major battle in the theater for almost two years, occurring in June 1942. However, the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal occurred in November of that same year, and is generally considered a large, strategically important clash. What type of source would be needed to make the change? Thanks! 216.15.50.27 (talk) 23:07, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS has a comprehensive explanation, but usually any book, newspaper, academic journal, magazine, etc. is sufficient.

M-1 Abrams Tank edit

My edit on the M-1 Abrams tanks was an actual edit, not a test edit. It says on the Polish army equipment page that they are going to get the Abrams tanks this year. If that's the case, wouldn't that make them an operator instead of a potential operator? DBenner29 (talk) 00:11, 26 January 2022 DBenner29 (talk) 23:56, 27 January 2022 (UTC)DBenner29[reply]

Okay but if the Polish Army do indeed get the Abrams tanks, don't say I didn't tell you so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DBenner29 (talk • contribs) 18:39, 26 January 2022 (UTC) DBenner29 (talk) 20:22, 26 January 2022 (UTC)DBenner29[reply]

Mosin–Nagant

Rifle magazine for 4 rounds. The fifth goes straight to the barrel. Карпенко Олексій (talk) 18:48, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what the source says. Loafiewa (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thickening== On Tiger tank ==

A book from 2020, what is prove his points, why unreliable? If you do not believe in the book, can you please in the author of it? Because I cant link the video, search for it on YT: Transmission and Roadwheels: Tiger I Mythbusting with Bruce Newsome Part IISzolnok95 (talk) 19:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

M16

I do not think your edit made the article clearer, as the sights paragraph now zooms in on the M16A2 iron sight line and does not provide information on the simpler preceding M16 iron sight lines. Though not belonging in this article, Eugene Stoner was quite satisfied with the AR-15, which Robert Fremont with Jim Sullivan scaled down from his AR-10 design. Stoner regarded the M16A2 iron sight line as overly complex for combat use. Stoner also did not like the addition of the forward assist and thickening the barrel on an intentional lightweight arm design.--Francis Flinch (talk) 15:29, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd like to add something on the M16A1's sights, then that's fine, provided the article actually matches what the source says. Please see WP:SYNTH. Loafiewa (talk) 16:23, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Sigil 2

Hello, Loafiewa. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sigil 2".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 20:06, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CHECK YOUR SOURCES BEFORE MAKING SUCH ACCUSATIONS

Before you accuse me of vandalising. Check your sources, or even check the bloody previous edits before it was changed to 900 rounds per minute without any credible source. Then cross reference it to other existing sources and old sources. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST, instead of reverting edits. Sick and tired of you people not knowing anything about firearms and reverting credible edits. I REPEAT I DO NOT AND HAVE NEVER EDITED FALSE INFORMATION HERE ON WIKIPEDIA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guns & Glory (talkcontribs) 17:17, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to take a look at WP:Verifiability and WP:HIJACK. You might know for yourself that something is true, but when you change information, it has to be cited to a reliable source. Loafiewa (talk) 16:23, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image you replaced

on the Heckler & Koch G3 article - and removed a second time was added to Solid Snake by different registered editor. Someone wanting to get their photo on Wikipedia? It has been added multiple times. I'm removing them (again). Cheers Adakiko (talk) 13:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seems suspicious either way. I've opened an SPI on them. Loafiewa (talk) 15:00, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for adding that "citation needed" annotation on the SOPMOD page just now. I'm not an editor/contributor here (just a gun guy), and I knew the annotation was needed but has zero clue how to do it myself 👍 2601:647:C802:F200:5878:BAF9:949B:C768 (talk) 00:03, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Caliber

The unit of measure is Caliber not inches. Caliber is a unit "based" on inches; it is not designated as a measurement of inches. Refer to the definition of caliber. Caliber is expressed in hundredths or thousands of an inch depending on the number of digits. When referring to cartridges or bullets the units used are caliber. This would be expressed without any leading decimal. This is correct, it does not need consensus or collaboration this needs to be fixed on all Caliber pages.

Refer to the existing sources. Change the titles

Make this correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.160.0.104 (talk) 18:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The existing sources across all the articles you've edited show a clear preference for displaying a decimal, and so your claim seems to fall under original research. And consensus is required, there are rules that dictate editing on Wikipedia, and they don't magically stop applying to you because you said so. Loafiewa (talk) 18:41, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
