Request for comments

@Kautilya3:, @DBigXray:, @SshibumXZ:, @Adamgerber80: Should the current name of the article remain the same, "Pellet gun usage in Jammu and Kashmir" or should it be shifted to "Pellet guns in Jammu and Kashmir"? DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 10:22, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

DiplomatTesterMan, hi! I think the current article title is good enough and there really is not a need to move the page.

Also, I noticed that I did not get your ping and the reason for that may be because you did not sign your original comment; pings on unsigned comments do not get delivered, so, be sure to 're-ping' people if you forget to sign a comment of yours.

@SshibumXZ: Thanks for the comment. Yes I forgot to sign the original comment. I will reping the others. This is a controversial article and just wanted more than one eye on it, right from the beginning as well as being able to decide whether the current name is suitable or not. Thanks.

@Kautilya3:, @DBigXray:, @Adamgerber80: Re-pinging you guys in case you didn't get the first one, since I forogt to sign my comment that time, same message as above related to whether the article name is suitable or not or should be shifted to "Pellet guns in Jammu and Kashmir". According to SshibumXZ as above, i also think it fine, i guess. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 16:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

This is for everyone again. Is this a better page name? - "Crowd control in Jammu and Kashmir" as suggested by @Hamster Sandwich: at the Teahouse (Misplaced Pages:Teahouse#Are_snapshots/screengrabs_of_Google_search_results_allowed_in_articles?)

Does the Indian Army use pellet guns?

I can't find any sources which say whether the Indian army uses pellet guns or not. Anyone has any sources for this? DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 10:09, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

DiplomatTesterMan I may be wrong, bt this is my understand. I doubt they (army) use. it is a crowd control weapon and not handled by the army. AFAIK, CRPF and state police department are incharge of crowd control and they are the ones using it. --DBigXrayᗙ 16:20, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

I was suddenly surprised with the term AFAIK.... I thought it was a security force I have never heard of before in JK. After googling found out it was short for "as far as I know". (The shock!) DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 16:54, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Rename article

I would reiterate my suggestion at WP:TEAHOUSE discussion, that this article be renamed, and the text of the present article "rolled in" as part of a more comprehensive article covering the topic in a larger, historical sense. I would also strongly recommend linking the word 'pellet gun" at its first appearance to the Shotgun article, or even the subsection of "Shotgun" that covers gauge and shot sizes.
