[edit] F-35

Hi. The suggestion that I removed your image because you moved the one I uploaded is very petty. I explained myself fully in all the edit summaries. Anyway, the actual reason I removed it is because the caption on the link you provided says "F-35 Lightning II first flight. Lockheed Martin Photo by David Drais." -- so how do you draw the conclusion that is a USAF photo?

You suggest that the image has the same status as the others. You're wrong. The image I uploaded is from www.jsf.mil. The copyright notice says that all images on the site are US Gov/DOD images and hence PD. However it also says those identified as belonging to one of the partner companies are copyrighted to them. The image I uploaded is not identified as belonging to Lockheed or any other company. Mark83 05:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes it's exactly the same image, however I explained above whatever is identified as belonging to one of the partner companies is copyrighted to them and not public domain. If you look in this gallery for your image (it's centre col, last row). Put your mouse over it to read the caption it ends "Image courtesy of Lockheed Martin". Mark83 12:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes it is a pity, however pretty soon there will be many USAF/USN/USMC images, all of which will be useable. I too noticed that the image I uploaded is not in the gallery it once was. However it is not a company image (at least it was not identifed as such at the time). Let me know if you'd like me to investigate it further. Mark83 22:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The HK417 in the Norwegian army.

Hello. To give you some proof that Norway is using the rifle; Norway just bought several 417's to be used as sniper rifles along with the 416. My sources are the official Norwegian army page; http://www.mil.no/hv/start/article.jhtml?articleID=140199 and the Norwegian wikipedia, http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_HK417

Excuse my grammar. : )

[edit] Revert on M16

Hi. I noticed your edit here. Contrary to your edit summary ('Asams10 is correct, need to finish discussion first'), Asams10 is incorrect, and the discussion seems to have finished. I'm not sure if you are aware there is a guideline governing the use of flags (which this article is currently not adhering to) and also a centralised discussion on whether the flag icon is needed in the article. I can see no consensus there to retain the flag in the article, and I wonder why you reverted to the "flagged" version, incidentally restoring several other minor errors to the article? It doesn't seem helpful in a situation like this and it might be that you would be better contributing to the centralised discussion than reverting another user's good-faith edits like this. Also, perhaps you weren't aware of this, but Asams10 has made it clear that he is going to "bow out of this discussion". User:I already forgot has also indicated the intention to "step back for a while" from the debate. This leaves you as the only person currently insisting on the retention of the flag. If this really is your position and you have not just made a mistake, it would be interesting to hear what encyclopedic purpose you feel the flag serves in the article. Failing that, I invite you to self-revert. Best wishes, --John 22:59, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to trouble you again. Can I invite you to review the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Firearms#Flag icons and consider commenting? Another user has reverted my removal of the flag icon and insists that, as "Nobody from the firearms community but me made statements", the apparent consensus there lacks validity (see also Talk:M16 rifle#Flag icon). I don't see it that way and I'd be interested in your view. Best wishes, --John 18:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SA80

Hi I noticed you revrted almost the entire SA80 article back to it's non-standardized, error-riddled opinion-like nature. Have you read any of of the Military History or Wiki Firearms guidelines regarding hardware? It's supposed to be an encyclopedic-quality entry that contains only hard, cold facts, technical detail and hard data. We established that a firearms article main body will contain:

  • Brief intro.
  • Development history
  • Design details
  • Variants
  • Users

The criticisms or user opinions DO NOT belong in an encyclopedic entry, and that is the goal of WIkipedia is it not? Please go through the guidelines, templates etc. I will revert your change. What may I ask was incomplete about the version I had edited? If you insist on remaining with the criticism section, it belongs on the talk page. Check my profile to see my contributions, all my articles transformed messy and chaotic articles such as this one into an organized, standardized encyclopedia quality entries with the overwhelming approval of the Wiki firearms community.

[edit] MEU(SOC) Pistol

Hayden,

There have been several "versions" over the years. Also, it's only been since 2001 or so that the gun has become hot outside of the Corps so now all the custom 1911 smiths are building them "to Spec". The "specs" seem to vary between armorers, too. I have an older version from when I first enlisted. No light rail, different type of Grip safety (MGW), BarSto Match bbl, Videcki trigger, and although it originally had pachmayr grips it now wears a custom set of double diamond Pau Ferro grips with USMC medallions in the center. The one pictured in the article is similar...built on a US Property marked frame but with the beavertail grip safety, the SureFire weapon light, Gemtech Lanyard, Wilson Magazine, and the G10 Simonich Gunner Grips. I know my pistols and the one in the USMC photo have MGW hammers made of A2 Toolsteel. Actually the only thing it is lacking are the Novak sights. I'm on the fence about replacing them as that pistol saw service in WW2 (it's marked "Property of US Army" and according to Colt was built in 1941) and has the forge marks on the front of the slide from the heat treat they did on those prior to service in the Pacific. Don't know if this helps and Wikipedia does not seem to want to know about it if you're writing from personal experience. Not everythjng done in the Fleet is down in Black and white somewhere.--Mike Searson (talk) 04:24, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FN SCAR images?

Hey I noticed you managed to convince FN to release those SCAR images into the public domain. Since you've already established comms with their reps would it be possible to extend that to their other images, such as those on the FNHUSA.com website? Thanks. Koalorka (talk) 03:08, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bushmaster M4 Type Carbine

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Bushmaster M4 Type Carbine, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Kimber Custom renamed section

Thanks for pointing out that renaming the section of the Kimber Custom article to "ICQB, Warrior, and Desert Warrior" broke all the links to that section. I should have thought of that.

[edit] Glock reverts

The Glock 24 info reverted automatically when I edited the page for some reason. It wasn't intentional. For some reason, the bot is not behaving well trying to do other language links either. Kinks. --Asams10 (talk) 01:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah that's alright, I thought it was a glitch because bots don't usually remove random parts of the article and your edit description didn't make a mention about why it was removed. Hayden120 (talk) 01:33, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

http://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/products/09/g18/index.html It's a Tokyo Marui airsoft, all Tokyo Marui guns say the manufacturer name on the gun and are accurate replicas the magazine is a dead giveway its clearly a airsoft mag. I own several REAL glocks and I can assure you this is NOT a real glock

A REAL glock 9mm mag looks like this http://www.mygunaccessories.com/images/glock/Glock%20magazine.jpg An airsoft magazine has the very tiny half circle at the top where the BBs come out Please refrain from making edits to articles that are out of your realm of expertise...

See your talk page. By the way Glock high-capacity magazines have a semi-circular cutout on the top of the magazine. If you were smart enough to realise, that's the back of the magazine. Hmmm, BBs come out backwards? Hayden120 (talk) 00:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout

A tag has been placed on Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mjroots (talk) 13:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, but you shouldn't remove tags from articles. You should tah with {{hangon}} instead. I'll add a new tag, but not a db one. Mjroots (talk) 13:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Thr Remington 700 article does have an independant reference. The reason I tagged the article you created was that on the face of it, it did seem like it was promoting the company that made the weapon. I accept your explanation of your sources, which is why I have added a hidden note with the tag on the article. Happy editing! Mjroots (talk) 13:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AR15 article

Hayden120, it isn't even so much about world.guns.ru having a link on Wikipedia. It's what appears to me to be a very arbitrary policy. I added links to pages on my site back in 2004, as did the owner of world.guns.ru. Those links stayed on Wiki until sometime last year, when some Wiki member decided to go on a tear and remove all links to my site. Nevermind that a lot of people came from Wiki to view those pages and that, judging from my stats, they appeared to find content they liked, because they hung around for awhile and viewed other content pages.

Did you notice the articles that I have on my site, articles that are useful for shotgunners, pistol shooters, etc? No commercial gain for me by having them there. In fact, I paid for many of those myself. As for the gun pages on my site having content that was "liberally" lifted from manufacturers' sites, I received written permission from every manufacturer on my site to use their photos and information.

World.guns.ru is covered with advertising, from top to bottom. And I know for a fact that the owner makes no small amount of money by selling text links to ImpactGuns.com within the "content" pages.

But my site is bad.

Go figure.

Hi, Hayden120. Actually, I do not sell guns from my site. I offer advertising for stores that sell guns, but I don't sell anything on my site but advertising.

How did you score the image of the HK45? Any more where that came from? Any chance you think it will pass the copyright Nazis, as you're familiar I had a bunch of my FN images removed for not following "proper" OTRS procedures, through my permission log was identical to your email exchange with FN about the SCAR etc. Koalorka (talk) 13:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

That's an awesome catalogue, do you think you could re-use some other images from the brochure under fair use? We could really use the image of the HK69, GMG, UMP and several MP5 variants. I'll give the FN and IWI images another try with the OTRS group. The MP7 deal fell through as the dealer was unable to secure the guns from his source at a reasonable price.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:MP7A1.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:MP7A1.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 14:14, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
