Template:Modern Gatling guns

Pretty horrible isn't it? I think it should be reworked, but not sure exactly how. Perhaps grouping by just by some caliber ranges? Someone not using his real name (talk) 18:41, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Weatherby Vanguard

I would like to work on an article for the Weatherby Vanguard. I have some small experiance with other markup languages and I am picking up Wiki markup. I am a fair writer, once I get going, but I am having a difficult time figuring out how to use the templates to get started in my sand box for editing. Is it appropriate to use preexisting articles code as a starting point so that the layout conforms to the guidlines witout having to learn Wiki-markup from scratch?

That's what I did for my articles. Just make sure that when you grab the code you don't accidentally change the existing page. - Bardbom (talk) 02:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

For infoboxes & such, I'd copy-paste existing ones & just change the names. I'd also copy the categories (but look also for related ones, if those aren't complete). TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 07:24, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I have started a draft article on the Weatherby Vanguard User:Economic_Refugee/draft_article_on_Weatherby_Vanguard Please let me know if I should announce or post this anywhere else. I would like to allow input and comments as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Economic Refugee (talk • contribs) 08:57, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

I beleive I have the article ready to be moved. Would someone please take a look and let me know how if it has any noticable problems. Thanks Economic Refugee (talk) 19:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

The article looks like a good start, although I wonder why you include information with a citation needed tag in the Design and Features section. Rather than publish an unfinished job for someone else to complete, I suggest you leave that information out of the article until you can find a suitable reference citation. If someone else perceives that information as missing, they may add it worded to conform to an appropriate reference citation.Thewellman (talk) 20:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

I included the details because they are fairly common knowledge but the knowledge is shared in web forums and difficult to document sources. The fact that M1500 variant scope mounts and rails are not compatible is a critical piece of information. I explained it in the talk page as well. I will old off moving the article untill I can find the reference. Thanks Economic Refugee (talk) 21:26, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Gun political groups Category?

Does anyone know of a catchall Category that includes all of the gun rights and gun control organizations? Purely from an academic standpoint, I think it would be beneficial to have this category in addition to ones such as "Gun rights advocacy groups in the United States". The closest thing I could find was this portal template... Gun interest groups in the U.S., but the Title links to Gun politics in the United States. For example, it would be useful in the 2nd Amendment article. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:35, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

I didn't find such a category, but I suggest something like "Category:Firearms organizations" (possibly limited to "of the United States") might be a subcategory of the existing "Category:Political organizations by issue".Thewellman (talk) 00:05, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Excellent suggestion, thank you. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 02:31, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
