• "When trying to justify the addition of criticism, please don't emphasize that it's factual and sourced. That is not the issue. Being factual and sourced is NEVER enough to justify adding anything to an article. Just stick to trying to convince us that's it due. HiLo48 (talk)"

		The Barnstar of Diplomacy
		Thank you for helping to peacefully resolve a great many of the challenges that we're seeing in some of our firearms articles. Justanonymous (talk) 19:12, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

	The Original Barnstar
	For your recent (fantastic) articles on things as varied as architects, popular culture and the banjo, I award you this barnstar. Keep up the great work! :). Ironholds (talk) 02:01, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Sandy Hook

I found a few more redirects for victims of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting like you tagged at Allison Wyatt. Also there is one in Benjamin Wheeler (disambiguation). Are you going through the whole list of victims?--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:31, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm holding off until it's decided whether or not that the Category will be deleted. Assuming that the Category is deleted, the redirects will still have to be addressed individually. The Category and the redirects all seem to violate (or subvert at the very least) WP:NOTMEMORIAL. Any suggestions? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:42, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I would just mention it to an admin like User:GiantSnowman . He may decide to just go through and delete them. If anyone objects to his actions they can take them all to articles for un-deletion. I don't think he likes me much but he would be a good person to decide on them all.--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:52, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Swinging, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Free Love (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion declined: Category:Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting

Hello Scalhotrod. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Category:Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Does not rely on a page that does not exist. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 22:58, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but that's only part of the criteria. Almost the entire contents of the category are Redirect pages. According to the G8 criteria "redirects to invalid targets" is a valid reason for deletion. If you check each of the redirects, they all direct back to the Sandy Hook Shooting article. What's the point of having the category or the redirects? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 03:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Warrior Competition

Here there. I thought you might be interested in writing about this, if you have the free time. (I don't.) If not then pass it on. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:21, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Interesting event, if I can find a few more resources for citations it looks like an article could be generated fairly easily... :) --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 17:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Here are some sources you might like, in addition to the NY Times article:

August 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Cowboy Action Shooting may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• comes to the line, the shooter will place ("stage") his guns as required by the stage description (for instance, he may put his rifle on a hay bale to the left of the start position and his shotgun

Federal Assault Weapons Ban

Two things:

1. Never "move" a page by manually cutting its content from one title and pasting it into another; that breaks the article's edit history, and forces other people to do extra work to repair it. Rather, pages are moved to new titles via the use of the "move" function so that the edit history moves with the content.
2. I've also been advised that you didn't actually have any consensus from Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Firearms to implement the move, so even after fixing the edit history I've had to move the article back to Federal Assault Weapons Ban again. If a thing's proper name changes, or if there's a spelling error in the title, then certainly you can just move a page — but in a case where there's a subjective decision to be made between more than one equally valid title, you should always seek a consensus of interested users rather than just moving the page arbitrarily.

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diplomacy

I just want to say you are doing a great job of taking the workload of working on the lede in the Second Amendment article. Im making quibbles to make improvements that I see, but I do not want you to interpret that as anything other than collaboration - you are doing the tough job of proposing text, and getting shot down by everyone else :). I think the various revisions are noticeably better from revision to revision, and we are narrowing in on something that everyone can agree to. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:59, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
