Motivation edit
To present uniform and methodical data for the scale of provision of military goods and services by international commercial enterprises. I believe this is a noteworthy metric due to this industry's unique capacity to influence world events. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by CAAT Data (talk • contribs) at 16:09, March 12, 2021 (UTC).
Discussion edit
- I think this is simply done now with total revenue (P2139) and qualifier applies to part (P518) military (Q8473) or perhaps a new item for "arms and military services". ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:44, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- @ArthurPSmith: That makes total sense; thank you for such a clear suggestion. Could I ask on a point of etiquette, with time-series data such as this, is it ideal to add all available data or would that be considered unhelpful spamming?. Currently data is available for every year from 2002-2019, and I'm uncertain whether to add everything, or only the most recent figure for each company. CAAT Data (talk) 12:01, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- 20 statements per item isn't a big deal. If it was hundreds then that would be a concern I think. ArthurPSmith (talk) 12:58, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Not done Seems clear that the existing properties work for this (useful!) case. JesseW (talk) 20:21, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
