[edit] Editing

I plan on citing the sources throughout this article to get rid of the flag. I will be using the sig website as my main source just to site everything. I also belive that the history part could be split into multiple sections. In my opinion I believe that there should a part dedicated to the history before Sig moved to the United States and a part dedicated to after their move. Some of my peers believe that the history section is kind of overwhelming with all the facts there so I think this could be solved with a split. My main goal however will still be to make the page better. I have added the logo to the page and wish to get rid of the flag and possibly make it easier for the reader to absorb the information.

[edit] Removed ref

Removed the reference to the P226 being adopted as the Mk24 Mod 0 as it appears incorrect. On the P226 page it notes that the 226 lost out to the 92F as the standard US military sidearm. Perhaps the poster was thinking of the Mk 23 Mod 0 (note that the mod denoted variants and 0 is simply the standard, Mk 23 is the name), which the US SOCOM does make use of. However that's an H&K gun, not a Sig one. --Sycraft

[edit] Bad Links

Most of the links to different types of guns have no article at the other end. I will allow a while for someone to put articles at this end, or they will be deleted.

[edit] Rename

SIGARMS has recently changed their name. I suggest that this article be renamed to Sig Sauer, and have SIGARMS linked here. Sig.steve 19:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Y Done --Deon Steyn 07:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED to SIG Sauer per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 23:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

SIG SAUER → Sig Sauer — WP:MOSTM states that non-standard capitalizations (such as all caps) should be avoided, even if that's the company's name. —Sticky Light (talk) 02:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Support since I see many examples of it written without all caps. Although "Sauer" is a name and should not be in all caps, SIG is an abbreviation and maybe should be? What about "SIG Sauer"? Definitely not all in caps though. Callmederek (talk) 19:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support per WP:MOSTM. And anyway, the articles for most of the products have "Sig Sauer", I think this article should maintain uniformity across the encyclopedia. Nburden (T) 20:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support SIG Sauer, SIG is an acronym as mentioned by Lox.--LWF (talk) 22:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
