This Olympian competes in a few hours .. in case someone may be interested in reviewing and perhaps creating her draft article -- Draft:Ada Korkhin. In advance of reader interest in her that is sure to come. Thanks. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:C88D:848F:5F9A:6FA0 (talk) 21:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Possibly relevant discussion at Manual of Style/Dates and numbers
See Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Ammunition_calibre/length_naming_conventions - this may be of interest to members of this project.Nigel Ish (talk) 09:22, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Related to that, what's with titles like "7.62×54mmR" and "23×152mmB" and "20×138mmB". How are these R and B suffixes to be understood? And why do we put them there, when sources more commonly use things like "7.62 × 54R mm" and "23×152B mm" (which are equally hard to interpret)? Dicklyon (talk) 02:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
:Ah, Rim and Belted, I see. Should we try to have a standard on how to present these? Dicklyon (talk) 01:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Delete [[List of firearms (A)]], etc.?
Six letters have articles like this, and twenty do not. I did a pass of style fixing on (A), but the rest are as bad and need a lot of work. Do we really want to have these fragments of alphabetical listings, in a searchable encyclopedia? Dicklyon (talk) 22:15, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
I did some case fixing on List of firearms (M), too. Dicklyon (talk) 03:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Looks like these were pulled out of List of firearms, which continues to accumulate more unsourced stuff under those letters, too. I think I'll nominate the lot for deletion. Dicklyon (talk) 03:46, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello WikiProject Firearms members. Which is the correct capitalization -- "M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle" or "M1918 Browning automatic rifle"?

Remington Model 1816
Hi! I'm little unclear on Remington Model 1816. What I think I understood, is that it's a some sort of conversion of either Model 1816 Musket or Maynard Carbine? What's the catch? -- TrickShotFinn (talk) 12:54, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
