[edit] GunWiki
I'm not sure I have all that much time to devote to a new project right now, but I do encourage you to mirror some Wikipedia pages; as I understand it, you are free to copy the content as long as you credit Wikipedia. About.com, for example, does this.
I do have some stuff that I've written for my web page that I'd be happy to contribute; I've got an article on cyrogenic treatment (which I need to update, as I have some material that was mailed to me by one of the people who did some research on the topic) and another on adjusting the trigger overtravel on the Ruger MKII pistol. Let me know if you're interested and I'll point you to it. scot 16:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Links
Here's the stuff you might be interested in:
- http://geocities.com/felixthefish.geo/cryogenic_treatment.html
- http://geocities.com/felixthefish.geo/mkii_overtravel.html
- http://geocities.com/felixthefish.geo/wax_bullets.html
And if you're interested in airgun stuff, I developed a sear engagement adjustment for the Crosman 2240 series of pistols a few years back; pictures and instructions can be found at http://sports.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/backyardmarksmanship/photos/browse/949d
Just credit it Scot Alexander, and link back to the origin. scot 17:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just thought of some more stuff you might be interested in. Don Nygord, who died in Dec. 2004, was a long time member of the US Olypmic shooting team, and holder of a number of US records. He had an online store that sold competition equipment, and had some good advice in the "Nygord's Notes" section. His family is keeping the notes portion of the website up for now, but they might not be averse to you mirroring the content in your Wiki. Go to http://www.nygordprecision.com/. There is no contact information for his family, but you might be able to get in touch with them through Larry's Guns, who took over some of the business when Don died. scot 20:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

- Oh, and a followon to the grip modification articles can be found at the Target Talk archive at Pilkington, here: http://www.pilkguns.com/arch/arch054.htm I think the quote On the other hand, the shooter that shows up with an elegantly shaped grip with unadorned patches of "Bondo" will strike fear in the hearts of his opponents! is just classic... scot 21:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for the revert to my talk page! delldot | talk 00:40, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Good work on the vandalwhacking! Let me know if you want to find more antivandal tools. Yeah, s/he was doing that to a lot of pages; we should watch out in case s/he creates another sock and starts back up. delldot | talk 00:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, you're already in Category:Counter-Vandalism Unit members because of the user box, but I can't recall a list anywhere. I could be wrong, maybe look around WP:CVU, I do have a tendency of missing obvious stuff. Peace, delldot | talk 01:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Responding to Help
Hey Brain,
I'm sorry, but I don't think I know enough about firearms to be of any real help. I'm looking over the Wiki though, it looks great! Also, there is not, to my knowledge, a Confederate States of America WikiProject. Reb 02:55, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Looks like they were meant for the user talk page, this mistake happens often. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 00:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Truthfully, I only use Wikipedia. I checked though, and the first name I noticed on Commons who's also an admin here is User:Buchanan-Hermit, I'd suggest asking him. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 01:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Commons pics
Okay. Well, just to make sure (I'm sure you got it, but I'm going to repeat it so there's no confusion), basically you upload a picture or file to the Commons, and when you link to the image (for example, when you type in [[Image:Some-picture.jpg|thumb|Some caption]] ), Wikipedia will be able to grab Some-picture.jpg from Commons, as if it was uploaded onto Wikipedia already. The only difference is the file's NOT on Wikipedia but on Commons. The advantage to this is that ALL the Wikipedias in different languages can link to the same image, without the need to upload the files individually to each Wikipedia.
Hopefully that was what you already found out. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 06:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR
Please be aware of WP:3RR --Tjsynkral 19:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sure
He's warned me for WP:3RR as well, but it doesn't apply for blatant vandalism so, we're fine. FireSpike 19:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- FYI, blanking one's own User Space does not qualify as vandalism. Tread carefully. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tjsynkral (talk • contribs) 19:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Talk vandalism
Actually, from WP:Vandalism, removing warnings is generally considered vandalism..."Talk page vandalism...Removing the comments of other users from talk pages other than your own, aside from removing internal spam, vandalism, etc. is generally considered vandalism. Removing personal attacks is often considered legitimate, and it is considered acceptable to archive an overly long talk page by creating an archive page and moving the text from the main talk page there. The above rules do not apply to a user's own talk page, where this policy does not itself prohibit the removal and archival of comments at the user's discretion. Please note, though, that removing warnings from one's own talk page is often frowned upon...." You were correct about User:Tjsynkra removing warnings from his page.Rlevse 21:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- see debate (I almost call it trolling) just above your entry on my talk page. I'm pretty much going to ignore it.Rlevse 23:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Note: An incident has been opened regarding this matter. --Tjsynkral 23:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
