Picking up the tag

[edit]

@Jake Brockman: would I ask you to notice me which sentence of the article includes POV issue?Saff V. (talk) 10:24, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Saff V.: IMO, the entire article has a balance problem, I can't really pinpoint individual phrases. International arms trade is a very complex topic and the article pretty much hinges on two anti arms trade organisation, the government and a couple of articles in the liberal media. This needs more points of view. The article has a subliminal critical tone in the way how it is written. See also Arms industry as example for a more balanced approach. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 10:51, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jake Brockman: Thank you. I will try to soften the tone in some sentence that reveals the critical tones, but about affixing more points of view, as you know it needs to other user's help. I will try to expand the article but individually is a little hard and needs time. E.g we can need a section titled Sectors. I wonder if you have any idea about other sections to be added necessarily. They are the best clues for other users.Saff V. (talk) 07:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Concur with Jake Brockman that the POV issues with this page are very serious. Using unbalanced sourcing may also be a problem. Lede is sourced to a group called Action on Armed Violence - I linked it, but it didn't come up as a page. Was the name written wrong? Or does the group not have a page? Unusual to center the lede on an outfit not notable enough to have a page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Suggestion

[edit]

Apologies that this comment is not in the expected format. I'm a very casual viewer of Wikipedia. I feel this topic would be served by a list of products that the UK exports with their destinations. From what I gather this could be in the public domain, as all exports are subject to a license issued by the government. 217.38.157.134 (talk) 06:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC) Joe JJ, UK[reply]

Meaning of opening paragraph

[edit]

Tumblingsky (talk) 02:33, 25 September 2020 (UTC) I would have edited the following sentence but, because it is ungrammatical, the author’s intended meaning is unclear.[reply]

According to the analysis by Action on Armed Violence, Military arms deals have been prepared £39bn between 2008 and 2017.

i) Why is military capitalised?

ii) what is ‘... Military arms deals have been prepared £39bn...’ supposed to mean?

Thanks


The Article is Biased

[edit]

Generally, its attitude is that sale of weapons is a positive achievment. And that the more weapons exported, the greater that achievement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephiefaulkner (talkcontribs) 23:42, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
