[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific nations or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 05:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to propane

Hi, I saw your contribution to propane. It may be me, but it sounds a bit contradictory what you have written there. The 'green gas' in aerosols is propane (according to the website) .. but you changed the text to the opinion 'people think that green gas is propane' .. what do you mean now? --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I said this because many people (myself included) are not convinced by the evidence. First of all, the man who conducted this research has a commercial interest -- namely, he sells the adapter that allows a player to use the commonly available propane tanks with gas-blowback guns. He/his company charges $30 for this adapter. I think it's in his best interest to see that every airsoft player is convinced that green gas == propane, so that everyone will own an adapter.
As we know in Wikipedia, peer review is important, and I have not read any other studies trying to prove this matter one way or the other, nor have I read any articles on the issue that say anything but "I'm no chemist, but...". Show me more studies on the subject, especially by someone who has no vested interest in the results. Until then, I'm a skeptic. --UNHchabo 22:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, thanks for the explanation. I am reverting the edit, but will insert a 'reference needed' (maybe keeping yours there as well). --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
P.S. I see you remove discussions from your talk-page. In general that is considered 'vandalizing' (even to own talk-pages). May I suggest archiving? --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I didn't think much of it, cause it's just the newsletter from the Military History WikiProject, not comments to me specifically. You are correct, so I think I will archive those newsletters somewhere. Thanks. As for the article, go ahead, I just don't want "green gas == propane" being presented as this is fact, since I'm not quite convinced of that yet. --UNHchabo 22:39, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
OK (it was just a warning, if you ever end up in an edit war or something alike, it might be used against you). About "green gas" = propane. I know that propane is used as a propellant gas in aerosols. I must indeed confess, for a 'gun like machine', I'd prefer to use something that does not burn at all (N2O?). I have given both a {{reference needed}}, I hope that your reference does not show up for the second one, but a more reliable source. --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
According to that article, most types of green gas are flammable (hence part of the initial speculation that it might be propane), but since there's no ignition inside the device, there isn't much danger of fire. The gas is used to propel the projectile directly, rather than rely on the expansion when ignited like gunpowder does. I don't doubt that propane works very well in airsoft guns, nor do I doubt that propane and "green gas" have similar properties. My contention is whether they are, in fact, the same substance. Also, other gases are used, like CO2, compressed air, and other refrigerants, just green gas happens to be the most common nowadays--UNHchabo 23:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Except for the point that the actual research has been done by a company that sells propane (which indeed makes me sceptic), what other reason do you have to distrust their results? I mean, you must have more proof than that? Kind regards. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't have any evidence to disprove that claim, I just want to see more evidence to back up the claim before everyone accepts it as canon. It's like if Ferrari claimed that their new car outperforms Lamborghini's model. I have no means of proving or disproving this, so I just have to wait until some professional driver drives both and tells us what the deal is. --UNHchabo 04:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your editor review

Hi! I'm terribly sorry it's taken this long, but I finally got around to reviewing you at your review page despite having placed your stats there almost a week ago. I normally try to review people on the same day they request it, but I guess you just slipped through the cracks. Sorry! :) Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 03:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
