Mass destruction weapon edit
Hello, why these not subclass of weapon? Infovarius (talk) 19:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- They were a range of discursive articles about the weapons of the countries, they are not weapons themselves, hence the use of facet of (P1269). Vicarage (talk) 20:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Weapon vs firearm model edit
Hi, can I ask you to explain more about your rationale for removing the more specific subclass of (P279) statement of firearm model (Q22704163) and replacing it with weapon model (Q15142894) as seen in this diff [1] for example? It appears we are losing information with this approach. Thanks. - Fuzheado (talk) 20:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Siege tools edit
Hi, I see you're interested into history. What about Category:Siege engines(Q6012851) and Category:Siege weapons(Q8743609) ? Bouzinac 💬●✒️●💛 21:08, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- I've certainly seen issues about the distinction between siege engines (big wooden things with ropes), siege artillery (big guns), things used for sieges (towers, picks). I see enwiki has siege equipment, we ought to add that with siege engine (Q655697) and siege artillery (Q815231) under it, and drop the alias "siege weapon". One issue is how we handle boarding ramps for ships, which I saw were siege weapons, but aren't really weapons. Vicarage (talk) 21:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- siege equipment (Q124694131) created. Siege engines includes towers and ramps. Vicarage (talk) 10:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
