thread_title: Airsoft guns used in MilSim are commonly referred to as airsoft guns.

message: MilSim is a kind of real-life game played using airsoft or paintball guns. Military simulation video games are different and have no place in this article. I've never referred to Splinter Cell as a milsim... I refer to it as an action/stealth video game. Technically, saying Tom Clancy games are milsims means that every single video game involving a real-life gun and combat situations resembling modern warfare is a milsim. Please start a new article (Military simulation (video games) perhaps?) as this one is reserved for airsoft/paintball/real-life games and activities. RavenStorm 03:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  MILES 

message: This article has multiple serious problems. Firstly, the subject of the article is unclear. The main subject appears to be physical civilian military simulations played for entertainment purposes (and I have clarified it as such, to differentiate the subject from military simulations). However, the article also mentions computer games, a computer simulation called MilSim that is intended for military use, and military re-enactment, which are very different subjects and should not be lumped together in a single article. Secondly, there is a lack of evidence of the notability of civilian military simulations for entertainment purposes. While I do gather that such games are common and quite likely are notable, Wikipedia policy is that this article should not exist without independent sources. Thirdly, the bulk of the article re-covers the subjects of Airsoft and Paintball, which are well-covered in their own articles. However, if that content is removed then there is very little left. This article should discuss what sets MilSim games apart from other such games, with reliable sources provided for verifiability, and should only mention Airsoft and Paintball in passing as technology used in such games, with links to the relevant articles. Once reliable sources on MilSim are found, the title "MilSim" should be reconsidered: is that what it is usually called, and is the term sufficiently unambiguous? As an alternative, the article could be given a clear and distinct descriptive title, such as Civilian military simulation or Recreational military simulation.

thread_title:  Problems 

message: Folks, in the spirit of "why can't we all just get along", I need to re-introduce the MILSIM Software section in a limited, non promotional form.  C4i Consultants (in Canada) and Applied Training Solutions (in the USA) have a trademark on the name "MILSIM", therefore we are supposed to vigorously defend the use of the trademark.  However, given that so many kindred spirits practice the paintball sport that goes by the same name, I believe it is only fair to share the space.  I recognize that the article has become about paintball, but we need to have our software mentioned in passing and I believe that the previous version strikes a reasonable, non-promotional, encyclopedic balance.  Thanks for understanding!  Bruce --174.0.248.223 (talk) 03:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
