Non-NPOV wording
Removed non-NPOV word "infamous". Does anyone know which Parker to link to for this family? Rojomoke 16:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * They were called infamous in the press at the time in 1931. Political correctness was not yet in vogue in that era :-) Read the last paragraph of this article, on the elder and junior Parkers, their history, and their investor fraud scheme. Yaf 16:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Too much information
Someone over-wrote the process section with gibberish. Edit undone. Halcyonforever (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 17:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC).

Bonderizing
What is the relationship between "Parkerizing" and "Bonderizing"? Are they essentially the same surface treatment process under different trade names? Henkel apparently filed for a trademark on October 17, 1947 for the latter term, but I haven't been able to find much about it, except that it's "rust-proofing and anti-corrosive materials, including such materials comprising as an essential ingredient alkaline phosphates, and solutions prepared therefrom". In other words, it's a way of coating metals such as steel with an anticorrosive phosphate solution, usually in preparation for the application of paint, enamel, or lacquer. Examples that I've seen — steel rain gutters — have a dark gray, matte appearance that resists rust, even if left unpainted for a number of years. It would be useful if Bonderizing could be related to Parkerizing in this article, or if it could be described in a separate article. &mdash; QuicksilverT @ 07:46, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone recently merged "bonderizing" into the definition. It seems there is, or at some point there was some difference: (1933), (2012). Then there is oxy metal inc. --Askedonty (talk) 11:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Photo caption
The 1911 pictured is clearly a 1911A1 yet it is labeled as the earlier model, 1911. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:301:7705:75E0:15CB:F362:A8ED:E6AD (talk) 08:57, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Merge into Phosphate conversion coating
The processes described in this page seem to be exactly the same as those in phosphate conversion coating. The only difference seems to be that this article is focused exclusively on the use of those processes for firearms. It seems that all this material can be merged into that article, with no visible loss to the reader — quite the opposite.--Jorge Stolfi (talk) 18:30, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
