I have noticed you are attempting to discuss a content dispute with Nukes4Tots and he has ignored your attempts at discussion. It is my advice that he will never listen to anything you say, as he is extremely stubborn. I would suggest you take your concerns to [[WP:GUNS]] and try starting a discussion on the talk page for the project. This [http://www.65grendel.com/65g_arammo.htm] appears to be an article by the author of the book you are citing, if that would help. I am not familiar with the specific mechanics of API blowback so I cannot comment on the accuracy of your edits. [[User:Some guy|Some guy]] ([[User talk:Some guy|talk]]) 22:28, 7 July 2009 (UTC) |

::Thanks for the advice. However, as [[WP:GUNS]] seems to have a focus on civilian firearms, which usually do not extend to automatic cannon, I've taken it to the talk page of [[WP:WEAPON]] instead. It's not just the description of the mechanism that needs improvement, but the coverage of the entire family of guns...

Welcome!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
- Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
- If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
- The project has a stress hotline available for your use.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Roger Davies talk 11:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 03:25, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Contest scoring change
I've realized there may be an issue with the scoring system, and I have a solution, which I've explained here. Feedback is requested. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 23:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Nominations open for the Military history WikiProject coordinator election
