Terms etc

I'd say it's a "series" because the MCX name covers multiple weapons of different classifications (carbine, SBR, assault rifle and the one that meets the US legal definition of a pistol). Also strictly "carbine rifle" isn't incorrect unless you use the definition of rifle that doesn't fit in context (full length version of a carbine), which is less common these days since a lot of modern carbines don't have a companion "rifle" anyway: so in the strictest sense, if you use that definition you can't call the MCX a carbine either. The more general definition does work since it's possible to have a carbine pistol (eg Mauser C96 with stock or Artillery Luger). Herr Gruber (talk) 22:16, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I concede on the "series" argument. What about "carbine-length rifle"? If not, I'm fine with "carbine rifle". RadiculousJ (talk) 22:32, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@KylieTastic: Sorry. Left my account open in college. RadiculousJ (talk) 14:25, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recommend you don't do that. Benefit of the doubt applies this time, but if something like that happens again, you're liable to be blocked as a compromised account. Insert your choice of long diatribe on the importance of cyber-security here. Yunshui ^雲 _水 14:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WZ-523

If you're going to move WZ523 to WZ-523, I suggest you also do the same for WZ551 to WZ-551 for consistency's sake. Thanks, --Katangais (talk) 07:03, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your proposal to merge P227 makes no sense

The P227 is a .45 ACP caliber handgun. There are NO .45 ACP caliber handguns in P226. Your suggestion is improper. Digitallymade (talk) 23:31, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Digitallymade: To be honest, I'd forgotten all about that, and agree that the P227 requires a separate article. I'll remove the proposal. RadiculousJ (talk) 13:12, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: FN 509 (April 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

See WP:TOOSOON. Also, this draft reads somewhat promotionally.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:FN 509 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 00:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

I just came across this edit which you made last June. The names of certain elements, namely aluminium, caesium, and sulfur, are spelled in the IUPAC-recommended ways in Chemistry articles on Wikipedia, as shown here. The relevant shortcut is WP:ALUM.

Hello, I'm Bobby Cohn. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to the comment you left in the RM: you may or may not be aware but that user is using their own name as their username on the project. In the future, it is best to avoid commenting on other users' names and stick to policy and guideline based arguements or providing sources and analysis in discussions. If you truly believe an editor's name to be disruptive and in violation of our username policy, then there are proper procedures to address it. Please avoid anything that may be construed as a personal attack in the future. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:49, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
