[edit] License tagging for Image:Meriden .38.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Meriden .38.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] ΔL problem

Hi,

I liked your statement that ΔL does not create danger, since it is mainly frustrating to find out some civilian market cartridges do not function properly in a particular firearm. ΔL issues do not occur very often, but it is not solely academic either.

Hunters from C.I.P. member states have experienced ΔL problems in the real world with US and elsewhere (C.I.P. and SAAMI do not control nor rule the whole world) made cartridges in modern German made hunting rifles. Generally after discussions with their proofhouses on how it can be possible that correctly bought cartridges “do not fit” in prooftest passed arms, their hammer forged problematic chambers where measured with (headspace) gauges by the proofhouses as just within C.I.P. specifications but not within ΔL specifications. Hunters with arms made and proofed in C.I.P. counties can and do sometimes purchase cartridges in non C.I.P. countries (huntingtrips) and experience ΔL issues.

The above might come across to you as puzzling as it did to those hunters with their new rifles, but I know from Wikipedian Michel Deby - who provides C.I.P. proofhouses with test equipment and is rather deep in the C.I.P. loop - that a C.I.P. proofmark does not mean that dimensional or other functional aspects of the arm were checked. C.I.P. proofhouses fire C.I.P. conform proofing cartridges that are of course dimensionally C.I.P. conform and check if the firearm did not react adversely to the (over)pressure exerted on it. He explained that as long as the proofhouses can chamber and extract their proofing cartridges to do their job and the arms can be made to fire other functional aspects do not concern those proofhouses very much. In his words C.I.P. deals with "user's safety", not "functional quality". Customers often can request C.I.P. proofhouses to do additional check work and testing if they are willing to pay extra for those services.--Francis Flinch (talk) 09:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
