== Same debate, multiple articles... here's a proposal == |
|||
It appears that proposals to add information on mass-shootings are popping up on several firearms-related articles. As firearms are one of the central components of the subject being debated, I propose we direct all these discussion and their straw polls here to one centralized discussion, seeking one community-wide consensus. Otherwise, we'll end up with a local consensus going one way on one article and another way on a different article, which will lead to further disputes when editors start citing different discussions and their local consensus to support controversial edits to firearms and mass-shooting related articles. |
|||
;Proposed: close all discussions about the same issue on related articles and have one central discussion here to (hopefully) achieve a single, community-wide consensus. If there is enough support, we'll have the discussion here as an RfC. Thanks |

Valid Sources
After reviewing WP:FIND, I'm still not sure what sources are valid. Guns are an interesting subject to try to source, because many of the publications are very blog-like, and heavy on the subjective reviews, but still contain a plethora of technical data. Websites like americanrifleman.org, range365.com, shootingillustrated.com, and guns.com are what I'm wondering about, specifically. Anyway, if any of you all would kindly help me out, that would be appreciated. Mr.1032 (talk) 03:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
AR-15s in California
I recommend that AR-15s in California article be merged with the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 page with appropriate redirect. Please comment at Talk:AR-15s in California.--Limpscash (talk) 05:55, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
A huge pile of instruction-manuals for firearms
Hi folks, via archive.org you can obtain a huge pile of instructionmanuals for firearms. Perhaps you like to link them in the corresponding articles or find some other use for them ;-) Access archive.org by https://web.archive.org/web/20180204114622/http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIREARMS/ HTH + greets from de:PD:WF & germany 80.187.100.131 (talk) 12:03, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Excellent. I have taken the liberty to add a "Resource" section to the main page including this info...Instruction manuals for a wide range of firearms, in PDF form....We can also use this new "Resource" section for additional sources of information.--RAF910 (talk) 16:56, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Not reliable sources for notability purposes, for the record, but could probably be used for basic factual info. Thanks! ansh666 20:16, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, that was my thinking. The manufacture is always the undisputed authority on production history and design details: weight, barrel length, caliber, ammunition restrictions, etc.--RAF910 (talk) 23:53, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Am I missing something? I went to this page, with a long list of what look like are meant to be links. They don't actually link to anything... Going to that same page from the site's home page is no help, either. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 00:26, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

- @RAF910 in fact a very good idea = "add a "Resource" section to the main page" :-) a well (as subpage) organized pendant in german projekt firearms can be found via: de:Portal:Waffen/Mitarbeit/Quellen_IB.
- The folks in the german projekt did a lot to make it look nice and to have comfortable interconnections. In the meantime most of them are tired (or retired) ;-) If you like this, feel free to have a closer look to their former working results. For a better impression about the organisation of this resource areas they can be read in translated Versions: see Sublibary 01 and Libary overview. A similar site in en:WP can be found via Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Logistics#Sources. BTW within de:WP we decided not to connect it from WP:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Shared_Resources#Technology. Reason was to keep the area calm. A connection from the area "Resource" section to the main page" which you created now was perfect as we experienced. HTH cordial greetings to all members of this projekt and have fun with the stuff. --80.187.109.37 (talk) 09:22, 6 February 2018 (UTC) P.S. I tried to identify active users of this project by the template. Unfortunately, with little success :-(
- "Click on PDF" My windows were too small to see those after the page loaded...without scrolling sideways. Thx. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 03:14, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Addition of crime to the Smith & Wesson article
There is a debate at the Smith & Wesson article regarding the inclusion of the recent shooting in Florida in the article because it has been reported that the AR-15 used was a S&W model. Springee (talk) 01:37, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Springee: The debate appears to have jumped right to the straw poll stage already with people !voting on the issue. FYI - theWOLFchild 14:09, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Springee: thanks for the note, but in the future, please cut out the second sentence to avoid the appearance of WP:CANVASS. ansh666 17:28, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Same debate, multiple articles... here's a proposal
It appears that proposals to add information on mass-shootings are popping up on several firearms-related articles.
