Welcome[edit]

Hello, looks like you've been here a while now, but no one took the time to welcome you. If I may, welcome to Wikipedia! You seem to know your way around pretty well, and have made many good contributions. If you should happen to need help with anything, please feel free to ask me. heqs ·:. 18:49, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prowords[edit]

Further to your question at Talk:Procedure word, the term "five by five" originates from early radio users, who described signals on a scale of one to five, referring first to strength and then to clarity. So "two by four" is a weak (faint) but relatively clear signal. Editus Reloaded 20:17, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, other way round. The above example would be a strong but garbled signal. Editus Reloaded 20:18, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HEMTT[edit]

Hi Ultratone85 - you uploaded this file sometime ago? Could you tell me what that thing on the back is supposed to be? An improvised mobile shooting stand? Cheers, Ingolfson (talk) 05:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

3MEF[edit]

This user is a member of the
3rd Marine Expeditionary Force.

Noticed that you created this one. I would love to add this userbox to my page. Would you mind if I, or could you please, edit it to say "This user is/was a member..."? --Wakamusha (talk) 23:25, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed that you haven't been online in a while and nobody seems to be using this. I'm just going to go ahead and change it. My apologies if you have any objections to this. --Wakamusha (talk) 19:37, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Pawtucket Pat, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 00:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you identified my edit as vandalism. Pawtucket Pat isn't discussed anywhere in the Family Guy article. The episode that this character appears in is the episode Wasted Talent. To me it only makes sense that this redirect goes to the Wasted Talent article. Ultratone85 (talk) 01:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're absolutely right. Your edit makes perfect sense, and was clearly not vandalism. The mistake is completely mine, and I apologize. I've undone my revert of your edit. Sorry for the mixup. --some jerk on the Internet (talk) 12:19, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ammo[edit]

I know what you mean. When I write for the gun magazines or firearm related websites and need to photograph a new round, I typically do it with similar cartridges to illustrate the size. For example, if it was a 454 Casull, I'd show it next to a 45 Colt, 45 ACP, maybe a 223 round to show the size off. Sometimes you can get away with that here, but ideally it might be best to show them with some type of ruler. We don't really have standards for pictures as we're all going off public domain and take what we can get. Maybe if you could, take several of each one. Say you got a 243; one photo would be the round next to a 308 (parent cartridge) and a 223 (smaller bullet diameter). Then a second pic might be the round next to a steel ruler. The point would be how you feel you could best tell the story with a pic. For example a 30-06 and a 50 BMG are the same dimensionally and each individual round with no ruler or other objects for comparison fails to show the size of the 50 BMG. What calibers do you have? I'll help you out however I can. Semper Fi!--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 04:01, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, I like how the second one shows the measurements and the comparison to the other cartridges. Some cake-eater who's never seen a gun outside of a movie can see the length and those who know a little more get the relation in size to 45 ACP and the Magnum.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 00:38, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great job! I should dig through my collection and attempt the same. Let me know when you add them to articles and I'll make sure everything else is in place (infobox, refs, etc). Hopefully we can get alot of pages cleaned up that way.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 23:24, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, must have been some rare ones because nothing hit my watchlist aside from S&W Model 17. I'll go through them and fill in what's needed. Thanks. Maybe if I come across some rare ones in my shop, I'll send them to you if you want to do pics, to try to keep them consistent.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 23:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not sure if I’m doing this correctly...

If you are the owner of the Arisaka ammo photo, could you tell me some history of that particular 30-06 round pictured on the far right. The exposed metal tip and double cannelure make it different than any other 30-06 I’ve seen. Is it milsurp? Armor piercing? If it’s AP, why isn’t it black tip? Lead tip? If lead, why is it pointy?

I’ve searched all over. I assume the headstamp reads, “REM UMC 30-06 SPRG.”
