message: What does "ERA" mean in this context? The current list on the disambiguation page do not seem to apply. RedWolf 02:11, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)
acronymfinder.com seems to have the best guess of "Extended Range Ammunition" or "Extended Range Artillery". ugen64 02:13, Dec 16, 2003 (UTC)
Often also known as 'Base Bleed' Ammunition. Rob cowie 19:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't this weapon in service with the Yanks as propelled weapons were built in 2005 at BAE Telford for the US Army. King Konger

thread_title:  In service with the Yanks? 

message: It's missing.  AS90 has to have a FV number, and land-service numbers for the complete equipment (eg something around L125) and ordnance (eg something around L27).
There's also the matter of the auxiliary engine.

thread_title: Nomenclature 

message: I have changed certain wording to better reflect the actuall relationship between the Royal Horse Artillery and the Royal Artillery - both are parts of the Royal Regiment of Artillery.  I know this may seem like mere semantics and hair-splitting and I couldn't care less.  Darth Doctrinus 19:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Royal Regiment of Artillery 

message: "...uses a conforming 39 calibre barrel which fires the L15 unassisted projectile out to a range of 24.7 km. However, this was a new design of ordnance and uses a split sliding block breech with Crossley obturation, instead of the more usual screw breech...". Technojargon like conforming, split sliding block, Crossley obturation needs to be explained for the lay reader, otherwise it may be meaningless. Rcbutcher (talk) 23:59, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

thread_title:  were these ever used in combat? 

message: I was under the impression that firing rate was limited due to heat dissipation; stuff needs time to cool down, but "...2 per minute for 60 minutes" is pretty remarkable, does it really need 30 seconds to cool down after each shot, and actually, what is being called down? Is it the barrel or that and something else? Or is the whole process more complex than just heat?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.37.98 (talk) 16:59, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
