Notability
editCan we remove the notability notice yet? After the notice was added I included several more reputable source articles, some of which are entirely about the subject. I don't want to remove the notability notice myself because I have done a lot of work on this article so I might be biased and I don't want to remove it unilaterally. Cheers!

- I second the idea that the notability notice be removed. Anyone into the whole 'aura' or mystique of the great American Old West should recognize instantly that they're staring it directly in the face by seeing this gun/reading the page about it! This IS the American West. It's important and should stay. Wilke339 (talk) 16:04, 22 July 2018 (UTC)Wilke339 (talk)
- Thanks for the support Wilke339! Any idea what we need to do to remove the notability notice? I haven't done a lot of editing on Wikipedia yet so I'm not too familiar with how they work yet. Mcneda (talk) 18:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
Current Location of the Rifle
editNote that the restored rifle is now at the Great Basin National Park Visitor Center, not at the Lehman Caves visitor center (which is just down the road. It was placed there in May 2019. I saw it at the Great Basin National Park Visitor Center on my visit on 9 Jul 2019. Rickheck (talk) 02:50, 13 July 2019 (UTC)RickHeck
- The current location of the Forgotten Winchester is at the Great Basin National Park Visitor Center in Baker, NV. (Just down the road from the Lehman Caves visitor center, where the article says the rifle was placed after restoration.) So the article needs to be edited to include the proper location. (I just saw it there last week, so can personally verify it's location.) Not a very good editor of articles, but the correction should be made (by someone more clever than me, hopefully).

Tree growth
editHow old is/was that tree? Was it already the same size when someone put the gun there, decades ago? Also, trees tend to grow around objects, "eating" them. See Tree shaping Matthead (talk) 20:20, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
Needed?
editI am a little confused as to why this article exists. Lordbookworm (talk) 15:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
