Format Question...

What does adding a refname do in an article?

Does it send the ref to another page? Make it easier to cite elsewhere in the page? Something else?

(Curious about the functionality)

Naming references saves the editor from having to enter all the reference details over again each time a reference is reused in the article. See here for an example. In this edit, the reference was given a name and then the name was cited a second time further down the page. Naming references also prevents the same citation from showing up inside the reference list as multiple citations. Instead, if you reuse a citation by its name, the article will group it into a single citation with multiple instances (a, b, c, d, etc). This can be seen in the example edit's reflist.

Reported 85.100.79.99 for "silahgalerisi" spam

Greetings, just so we don't double-tap, I reported User:85.100.79.99 to Vandalism in Progress for his impressive 22 destructive spammings in a 4-hour period. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:25, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for the notice, I was planning to do the same on his next violation. ROG5728 (talk) 23:24, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Better yet, if you see more of him, you may want to mention it where I have filed yesterday at the entry to blacklist him. I've already mentioned part of this mornings events there. I didn't see all of them evidently. He's evading a block. Thank you,

Suggestion for the FN FAL article: proposed split/spinoff article

Hi, ROG5728, first let me say that I am contacting you specifically about this since you seem to be a fairly regular editor on the FN FAL article. The reason I'm contacting you is because I am seeing how much support there is for a spinoff article on the British/Commonwealth/Inch pattern FAL's (L1A1, C1, L2A1) before I think about putting it live. I currently have an article draft going ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:L1A1_FAL/L1A1_Self-Loading_Rifle ), compiled from relevant content from the FAL article, and a couple of new sections and a new page lead. I feel there is enough distinction between the FN FAL proper and the Inch pattern/Commonwealth guns (similar to how there are various pages for any of the numerous AK-47 derivatives, the FN MAG & M240, or the AH-64 Apache and the AgustaWestland Apache)to warrant this an article, but would like to know your opinions on the matter. Also, if you have any suggestions for my draft, feel free to suggest corrections/improvements/whatever

Thank you for your consideration.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 06:33, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just commented at Talk:FN FAL. The current FN FAL article is cluttered and a partial split does seem like it may be the best way to go about fixing it. The Combat Guns source by Bishop supports some of the more basic information regarding the L1A1. When I get a chance I will apply citations for everything covered by Bishop in the source (at FN FAL and/or the new article, in the event that consensus is met).

Heckler & Koch HK21

Heckler & Koch HK21 has not ever been used by Suomen armeija (Finnish Defence Force), so stop adding it to users of that weapon. First and only 7.62 NATO caliper LMG which FDF uses is Leopard 2 tanks MG3. Only HK weapons FDF uses are MP5 submachinegun and HK69A1. --91.153.26.148 (talk) 07:22, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The source in the article (Small Arms Review) disagrees with you -- it says that Finland does use or has used the HK21. Your claims are not suitable evidence to the contrary. Please see WP:OR. ROG5728 (talk) 07:27, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
False claim in 13 year old article doesnt proof anything and I dont have to proof anything to you. Show any other source to your claim. Bet you cant find any, 'cos there aint any. FDF does not nor has ever used HK21, ask anyone. --91.153.26.148 (talk) 07:39, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
