Talk:Battle of Blair Mountain

Gatling gun
The dedicated article mentions this battle as one at which the weapon was used, but the article here has no mention of it. It's worth a mention. Arminden (talk) 15:38, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, you meant Gatling gun? Yeah Gatlings were used, unclear from my research today exactly where/when/who...the one source - Socialist World Wide I think? - in the Gatling article is probably not completely reliable but multiple references & sources do mention Gatlings being used in some capacity (one was apparently looted from a company store and used by miners - Mining companies had Gatlings on-site!) and also mention machine guns being used. I'll get on this within the next day or two and add additional content concerning machine guns/Gatlings. Shearonink (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The article now contains this statement in the “Battle” section: “Gatling guns and machine guns were employed by both sides, along with additional firepower. ” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeff in CA (talk • contribs) 22:03, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * In my opinion, No. It should probably go through the Good Article process first. Shearonink (talk) 18:10, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
