Talk Page Spam

Please only use the talk page to discuss changes to the article, not what you have used it for just here. Ess-Tee 10:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Very true, a lot of people don't seem to realise this - I'll move their little discussion to an appropriate forum page instead. - Hardrock182 13:06, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, cheers, also was just wondering, am i permitted to delete such sections etc. as i have shown below? Ess-Tee 07:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk pages comments should only really be deleted by staff, to prevent people deleting someones comments just because they don't agree with them (which does happen). However, if it is obviously spam, delete it. If it is definitely forum material, move it there and message the user who wrote it. If it is article content, copy it into the article. If it is a talk page comment (even if you disagree completely, even if it is rude/abusive), leave it alone. Gboyers ^talk 13:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Cleaning

I've deleted the 'Description' section, which contained the following, for relevance reasons:

"The M61 Vulcan is a 20 mm hydraulically or pneumatically driven, six-barreled, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style cannon with an extremely high rate of fire. It has been the principal cannon armament of United States military aircraft for five decades. The M61 was originally produced by General Electric, and after several mergers and acquisitions is currently produced by General Dynamics."

Restore if you think it needs to be there. Ess-Tee 10:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

-:So long as you justify it, and it is for the benefit of the wiki, then feel free. The content belongs to the community, and any edits like that are easily reversible. Be bold. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 12:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
