Welcome aboard

Welcome to WikiProject Firearms. I especially appreciate your recognition of the need to control commercial advertising. Please let me know if my experience can offer advice with Wikipedia formats or procedures. Thewellman (talk) 23:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! I made note of the issue that I've noticed some particular articles seem to have problems with. I also seem to sense private entities are injecting material themselves, so active monitoring is certainly warranted.

Your timing is actually convenient, there seems to be a problem user/IP: 223.17.88.249 (contribs) that continues to edit various small arms/military pages, much of which is reverted or corrected and I figured I'd refer it to someone more experienced to handle or escalate it. I recently reverted their contributions on .458 SOCOM as they added an entirely commercialized section for Ammo Types, and figured a more experienced editor for firearms could review my changes to see if it was proper.

Secondly and probably more problematic is the seemingly constant contributions that IP makes to a wide array of other small arms and military/conflict pages; if my assumption is correct that most of their contributions need reverting, not sure how that is best handled but given how others have also added to its talk page, I assume I'm not the only one watching its activity.

Thank you again for the warm welcome, I look forward to assisting in whatever way I can.
