Item Background Info
This applies to the current edit of the M107 article, but also to many other pages that contain ample background information on the item/vehicle in question. How much of it is really necessary? Sure, the reader might want to know that the M107 fires .50 cal rounds, but does the article really benefit from mentioning that "Ronnie Barrett produced his first .50 BMG in 1982" or what variant US SOCOM employs?

Are those details even relevant to DayZ? Would the user be better served by an external link to Wikipedia's M107 page if they want that kind of information?

Please discuss. I don't want to make an edits around these issues until there's a clear consensus. - Christopher (Talk) 14:28, 05 August 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. Feel free to edit out what you feel is "unnecessary" information. I think some of it is just people copy/pasting wikipedia or else paraphrasing it. - Smokie (talk) 17:55, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
