Verymanynames Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 When we submit something do you want it to be review like? Focus on the aspects of the gear, such as number of pockets or be more historical, like who uses it? Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 The more the better, mate. If you can get all of that in there, then great If you want to submit something close to a review, please put a brief description (plus history, if you want) before the review so people know what it is I'm in the process of trying to set up an anti-vandal bot, too. Every Wiki should have one, and this seems to be pretty reliable. Hopefully it won't happen again... Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Top marks Havoc, 'tis a really excellent idea. From what I've seen it won't take long to fill up nicely. Added a bit to the Nomex flight gloves entry about heat resistantness of nomex material. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites

Redcap Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 It would also be nice, when you update the pages, to add credit where credit is due, in particular the references to PLCE. Check out my original article on the topic: http://www.practicalairsoft.co.uk/plce-assembly.asp Then check YOUR gearpedia - http://www.teamsnafu.org/wiki/index.php/PLCE - note the pinched parts Other than that, nice articles.

Sadly, that means people will sometimes copy and paste stuff by other people. I've had a warning up NOT to do so since day 1, but naturally some people will always ignore this. Not much I can do about it, I'm afraid. Link to post Share on other sites
Redcap Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 No the wording is fine, as long as someone adds the correct credit, thanks Example: By kind permission of Practical Airsoft http://www.practicalairsoft.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites

Redcap Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Follw-up - Good point, LJ, and it DOES show this on my copyright page, http://www.practicalairsoft.co.uk/copyright.asp , as described in numbered paras 1-4, and the follow-up para regarding permissions below that. PariahWolf - I accept that you acted in good faith on this occasion however, you need to be assured of source ownership veracity before you republish data passed to you; the only fully sound method in this regard is to perform your own research prior to re-publication, gaining permission beforehand, if required. I would point out that had the information come from somewhere like, for instance, Janes Defence, you'd be looking at a C&D followed by a possible copyright violation lawsuit - this HAS happened before to other, less lucky, individuals. By comparison, I'm relatively laid back, never the less, if I don't protect my own work, I stand to loose any/all rights to it under the Berne Convention, so, if you'd like to move swiftly to correct the credit omission, I'd appreciate it Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I'll see if i can go edit it. Edit: Done. Redcap - about these 3 variations of PLCE. Have you seen any of the second variation yet please? I've seen the OG pistol holster, but i'm yet to see OG double ammo pouches that don't come in pairs. It's just a mystery to me.

Redcap Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Thans LJ Re Version 2 PLCE: Yeah, I was issued them in the latter stages of my TA Service, oddly enough - that was in December 1996, and I believe we were amongst the first TA Units to get it, which was nice However, I've not seen many of them on the open market - it's possible that they were a limited run, but I don't know for certain, not having seen many since then. Regards the single ammo pouches - I'm fairly certain that they were originally intended to be issued to rear-echelon troops (the hated and frankly appalling "Scaling" system at work again), but cost cutting measures meant that again, not many were made. I think that single ammo pouches are also available from third-party vendors (although I must admit that I only saw those once, a couple of years back, and can't remember where). Hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites
