On Editing This Article
I really welcome contributions and corrections to my article. But don't do like Nimmo did and almost re-write the article and totaly losing the authors touch, creativity and hours of reserch for the article. That SUCKS!! FreddyFred

Wow. My apologies if you feel hurt, but you might want to look over the grammer and structure a little. Nimmo 08:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not hurt. But please, try to EXPAND the article next time. If what I write seems to be wordy, wrong grammar etc, re-word it and try to make the sentence as long or, if possible, even longer....That's all I ask... FreddyFred

WPMILHIST
The WPMILHIST tag has been removed due to this article not being military related.--Oldwildbill 07:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

New Weapon Box
I wonder if we should keep the new weapon box or should I revert it to the old box that I did? The new box i cool (but lacks of alot of information), but it seems to be related to weapons used specifically in war. Since this pistol has nothing to do with any war (yet) I think it's unnecessary.

 * Keep the new infobox it's the standard for all pistols/rifles/swords/artillery and most pistols use it or will be converted to it. Deon Steyn 08:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Article Focus
Shouldn't this be devided between the Wildey Pistol and the .475 Wildey Magnum cartridge? The cartridge was introduced many years after the Wildey pistol had already been in production in .45 Winchester Magnum. In fact, the pistol was originally designed around the .45 Winchester Magnum and 9mm Winchester Magnum cartridges. The fact that the pistol was designed for a double stack magazine for the latter cartridge allowed the pistol to accomodate the single stack magazine of the larger .475 Wildey Magnum. --D.E. Watters (talk) 11:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. The Wildey is a pistol. The .475 Wildey is a cartridge. This article is about the pistol and not about the cartridge and should be titled Wildey (pistol). DeusImperator (talk) 17:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Wildly inaccurate
This article is wildly inaccurate.

Look at the specification numbers. They describe an artillery shell, not a handgun cartridge.  "Base diameter	12.72 in (323 mm) Rim diameter	12.01 in (305 mm)" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lokisgodhi (talk • contribs) 20:22, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
