Article Focus[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Shouldn't this article just be about the company CETME? It looks like this may have have started out as an article on the 7.62x51mm rifles, and then everything else was tacked on about the company's other products. Let's break out the specifics on the Modelo A, B, C, D, and E into a separate article. D.E. Watters 23:26, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this seems rather confusing. This should focus only on the institution instead of going into detail about their firearms. Koalorka (talk) 04:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I plan on starting a page dedicated to the 7.62mm series of battle rifles starting with the Model A. I have no idea what to name it.... "CETME rifle" seemed suitable until I realized the Model L is also a rifle, but has little in common with its bigger brother. I need some input. Koalorka (talk) 21:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the 7.62mm rifle artricle, how about calling it the "CETME Model 58"? --D.E. Watters (talk) 00:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's an obscure Spanish service name. I think the commercial model names would be more suitable, say, "CETME Model A". But I think that may be too specific. Hmmm.. Koalorka (talk) 05:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about "CETME Model C" since that was the definitive Spanish service model and the basis for the exported sporting rifles? --D.E. Watters (talk) 13:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But that ignores the previous models. I'm still partial to "CETME Model A" with a series of disambiguation pages linking to the core variant. I typically emphasize the weapon's historical development. Koalorka (talk) 14:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can give it the most common name without ignoring the development history of the preceding models. For instance, the "Sterling SMG" article isn't named the "Patchett SMG" despite the latter being the original name for the design. Simply add redirects from the other model names. --D.E. Watters (talk) 16:07, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand, we will have to compromise somewhere for practical reasons. I would still prefer an all-encompassing name, perhaps "CETME battle rifle"? It distinguishes the 7.62mm guns from the later Model L. Koalorka (talk) 17:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any comments before I proceed? Koalorka (talk) 15:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the procedure has been proceeded with, this article has gone from informative to utter crap. Not a good edit. 15:31 20 October 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.54.167.166 (talk) 20:37, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the CETME rifle needs its own page, seperate from the CETME organization. After all, the "Mauser rifle" (Gewher 98) and the "Mauser Company" aren't included in the same article just because they bear the same name and are closely linked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.177.13.225 (talk) 14:43, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the page should be split up. Darkman IV (talk) 22:59, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. But I tried to edit the page before, adding content specific to the model C, and every edit I made has since been removed in favor of making the page about the company, rather than the rifle the page was originally about. Dave polaschek (talk) 21:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish Language[edit]

In the images that accompany the article there is a great deal of Spanish language, particularly when identifying parts. This is somewhat difficult for, I find, the English language version of Wikipedia. If someone could translate that would be wonderful. --Monkofbob (talk) 04:40, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
