Hi all,

I'd like to enter seek a RfC regarding removing the template at the top of this page that is dated as of 2009. Certainly, as @Hohum: has pointed out already, the fact that it is an 11+ year old template alone is not sufficient reason for removing the template/tag. However, I feel there are over 50+ references, and many inline references as well, and while it is not yet perfect or complete (no article ever is!), I feel that this article has come a long way and is ready to have that tag removed. That is all. Thoughts? ♥Th78blue (They/Them/Their • talk)♥ 21:30, 6 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Multiple paragraphs and some entire sections have little or no references. This is exactly what the "More citations needed" tag is for. (Hohum ^@) 01:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

I do wonder though, given that this tag was added 12+ years ago (and I'm not saying a tag should automatically be removed based on age alone), but "Maintenance templates are not meant to be in articles permanently." Might it be inferred that a silent consensus has been met to justify removal of this top tag in particular? It would seem to me that its presence is not in and of itself helping the addition of any more or less citations/sources to those sections you mention at this point. I think we are at the stage where point 7 of Help:Maintenance template removal#When to remove may apply now to this article, no?

Templates which "need to be supported" are those that require discourse in order to resolve them. Lack of sources doesn't need discussion, it needs the sources to be added. (Hohum ^@) 20:27, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

The text of the document states "Rifle bullets, such as that of a Remington 223 firing lightweight varmint projectiles from a 24 inches (610 mm) barrel, leave the muzzle at speeds of up to 4,390 kilometres per hour (2,730 mph).

" a 24 Inches barrel" should instead be "... a 24-inch barrel" for correct flow.

However when looking at the code there is a function here instead that does the automatic conversion, im unsure where this is being called from, is there anyway to adjust it?

(added space incase the published note converts it to text)

"from a { {convert|24|inch}} barrel" MirageegariM (talk) 10:41, 12 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
