Talk:Lloyd rifle

message: Lloyd's patent is for a much earlier scope protector than the stramlined mounting system appearing on his commercial rifles.
The comments about lower grouping potential for Lloyd rifles have some merit, as the scope mount may well have prevented the receiver from returning to exactly the same position for each shot (See Vaugh: "Rifle accuracy facts")  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.236.13 (talk) 23:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Smith & Wesson SW

message: >> it also incorporates a self-cocking or Striker Fired, which is close, but not the same as double action only firing mechanism, so that the pistol can be fired without delay or preparation.
this is misleading... striker fired pistols are more akin to single action pistols that are always cocked than they are a double action pistol, since with a double action pistol pulling the trigger makes the hammer drop every time but with striker fired pistols, like single action pistols, the action has to cycle completely for every trigger pull if you want anything to happen.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.197.110 (talk) 05:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Chaim Rapoport

message: Three concerns:
:1. Discuss on talk page, please, don't revert each other. For the recent restore of a large section on Chabad, I'm curious why the IP says that a source is not needed. Reliable sources are needed to support pretty much everything in WP. Re: Chaim Rapoport
:2. The section on the abuse case is too long and disproportionate. Doesn't needs such a long block quote. A few sentences paraphrase would suffice.
:3. There is some wording that tends to pass judgment, positive or negative, in a way that goes beyond WP:NPOV. I may make some sample adjustments. For example: "Rapoport is widely recognised as the only serious Torah scholar to have written comprehensively about homosexuality from an Orthodox perspective." In order to say "widely recognized" and "only serious" -- which seem like a biased POV -- we need reliable sources that assert this.
Hope this is useful and you don't mind my speaking up. HG | Talk 11:23, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Brenda Brave Helps Grandmother

message: I have moved the title to Brenda Brave Helps Grandmother as it is the English title of the story and picture book by Ilon Wikland. And it is linked to the Swedish wiki data page, which deals with the story and picture book. I know there is a collection of short stories also titled Kajsa Kavat, but the Swedish link to that would be this page. So I wrote a lot of additional things onto the page which are about the picture book and not about the short story collection. In case someone wants that, you need to make an additional article like Kajsa Kavat (book) and if so maybe write more than just one sentence. --Dynara23 (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia is a work in progress

message: From the essay: "...There are also many more thousands of one- or two-sentence stubs; adding a few more sentences ... will vastly improve that article."<BR>
Herein lies a big problem.  Adding a sentence or two is almost certainly going to come from my OWN knowledge of the subject.  There are three subjects I feel very knowledgeable about, in two of which I am professional.  But the summation of policies and guidelines such as Wikipedia:Verifiability (especially), Wikipedia:No_original_research and even the detail of Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view effectively mean that unless the information has been copied from a professional, published in a major publication, available copyright free, then it shouldn't appear.  So I can't just quickly add a sentence or two without first finding out who of my colleages might have published similar information somewhere and what the copyright situation is.  Oh, and even then I might find that they made a mistake but that's OK because so long as the wrong information can be 'verified' that's what policies of Wikipedia say should appear here, and not accurate information!  --Interesdom 15:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The copyright situation is not an issue. Articles shouldn't incorporate text copied word-for-word from anywhere, regardless of copyright status (with the exception of short quotes). "No original research" doesn't mean we can only include text that has been published in its exact form. Write original text that is not excessively biased, cite one or more reliable published sources in a "References" section and there should be no problem – Gurch 04:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
