== Misquote of Shields == |
|||
I subscribed to ''The New Yorker'' just so I could check out the Shields quote that was in the article. It was wrong. |
|||
This is the quote from the section in question: |
|||
:... Our ultimate goal - total control of handguns in the United States - is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The first problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second is to get handguns registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of ''all'' handguns and ''all'' handgun ammunition - except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporing clubs, and licensed gun collectors - totally illegal. |

Criticisms
Shouldn't opposition to Civil Rights be added under criticisms? It would be if it was a page on any other group in opposition to Civil Rights of a group of people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.235.27.119 (talk) 02:38, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
- If you can find reliable sources (newspapers, magazines, news organizations) that plainly discuss opposition to civil rights, then it can be added to the article. Likewise for anything else that you wish to add to the article. Otherwise, it is not allowable according to Wikipedia policies. Also, please be mindful of WP:SYNTH. - MrX 02:42, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessaryily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Gonna do some clean-up on this thing
Gonna do some clean-up on this article... since it's been tagged for clean-up for nearly six years now (since October 2008). Lightbreather (talk) 22:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
I've removed the clean-up tag because I think I've cleaned it up pretty darn well. I updated a lot of citations to WP:CS1 standards; updated some of the URLs; and added archive URLs and dates where needed. The article could still use some development and updating, which I'll probably continue to do, but I thought I'd stop for a minute to follow-up on the clean-up notice.

Criticisms section looks a bit thin.
Considering the sheer number of Americans that dislike these people, the criticisms section looks rather thin.
