Semtex

Hey there. I have seen that you edited the plastic explosive article to state that Mondial Defence and Chemring were manufacturing Semtex. That would be incorrect, as Semtex is a trade name registered worldwide by Explosia a.s. and the variants are patented. No serious company in a country with rule of law can just simply start manufacturing a patented product under a registered trade name and Explosia a.s. has not authorised any outside company to manufacture Semtex. As to Mondial Defense, it is a now defunct British defense industry company which never had any manufacturing capacity for explosives whatsoever, they just bought the explosives at proper manufacturers and shipped them worldwide. It would be conceivable that Mondial did buy bulk explosives and manufactured charges of it (such as demolition slabs of C4 or Semtex), but in the case of Semtex Razor, this certainly was not the case. As to Chemring, they do have a manufacturing plant at Ardeer I think, but again, Explosia a.s. did not authorise Chemring to manufacture Semtex PW4, Chemring used to buy it in bulk from Explosia and manufacture demolition slabs for authorised british and overseas customers before they started their own production of DPX10/PE8.

Your sandboxes

Hi Dvaderv2, you have a few sandboxes with long lists of links and other stuff, and almost 70% of your edits have been to them. How are those sandboxes related to the encyclopedia, and how do you plan to use the content of your sandboxes in your mainspace editing? Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 17:27, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Three weeks later – repeating my questions: how do you plan to use the content of your sandboxes in your mainspace editing? What is the purpose of the sandboxes, and how do they relate to Wikipedia? --bonadea contributions talk 14:20, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

The War Game

Hi Dvaderv2, I wanted to let you know that I have mostly reverted your large additions to the synopsis of The War Game. The purpose of the plot section (here called "synopsis") is to give a general overview of the major points in a plot, not a blow-by-blow account of every last thing that happens, nor descriptions, explanations, interpretations, and technical details.

You correctly note that "MOS:FILMPLOT makes an allowance for >700-word summaries if the plot is sufficiently complicated", but this is not such a plot. There are no alternative timelines, different points-of-view, flash-backs, any of the devices that might make a plot complex; as films go this is well towards the simpler end of the spectrum and the previous iteration, at 559 words, is appropriate.

I have retained some of your improving edits; feel free to add anything that would make a material difference to the reader's understanding of the film's general thrust, and of course correct any errors, but please be aware that bloating the section to 700 (let alone 863) words is not appropriate. Best wishes! Captainllama (talk) 16:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

How inline citations work

Although it's never wrong to cite every sentence, when you see:

Here is a sentence. Here is another sentence. (cite)

Usually this means that both sentences are supported by the second citation, if in doubt you can always check it. (t · c) buidhe 06:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
