I've created the framework for the glossary, and put in 1333 items from the SAAMI glossary referenced at the bottom. To do this, I reaped the SAAMI website, removed the definitions (which would be covered by copyright), converted "Y, X" items into "X Y" form, sorted, pruned out duplicate items, and converted everything to lower case. The items are hidden in comment characters in the appropriate sections. Grab a term, move it up to the appropriate spot (make sure you delete it from the hidden list) and write a definition in your own words. You can use the SAAMI glossary to verify that you're not contradicting it; if you are, or if you add a term not from the SAAMI glossary, then you should provide a specific reference for that. scot 14:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I've put in two references at the bottom, to the SAAMI glossary and MidwayUSA's GunTec Dictionary, as overall references for the article. These should cover all the terms I put in there (since I reaped the starting terms from the SAAMI's glossary) plus most others you can think of. Check these two sources when you add a term, to make sure your definition agrees with them. Any definitions to existing terms NOT covered by GunTec or SAAMI, or any terms not listed in either of those sources should have an explicit reference. scot 15:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
