Talk:Stadiametric rangefinding

Stadia are the lines in an instrument's reticle, but in the context of military firearms, this is called stadiametric range-finding. Is there a better title for this article? —Michael Z. 2006-01-26 01:20 Z 

another page that talks about the title topic without explaining what it is or how it works

Copyrighted content?
This edit by an anonymous user appears to have grabbed a bunch of potentially copyrighted, and certainly out-of-context data. I'm going to revert back to the previous version; if the information is worth saving, then it can be re-integrated back in after verifying the copyright status, and formatting to fit the article. scot 17:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Plagiarism
There is tons of plagiarism in this article. A few of the paragraphs are taken directly from this site: Nation Master. The other scenario is that Nation Master is the guilty party here. Someone should investigate. Berrypioneering (talk) 17:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * They're mirroring the Wikipedia article, which according to NationMaster is not uncommon there. Looking at the article history here, it can be seen to grow gradually, which is a strong indicator that Wikipedia is the original source.  The fact that I wrote a good chunk of the article, including portions I also see at NationMaster, makes me even more certain this is the original source...  scot (talk) 18:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the bottom of that page actually credits Wikipedia: “The Wikipedia article included on this page is licensed under the GFDL”. No one is guilty. —Michael Z. 2008-11-05 21:45 z 

Poor introduction
This page does a terrible job explaining the topic. The introduction only explains the history and context, not touching on the subject at all. The principle section gets a little closer, but even then only in rather technical language, and falls just short of actually explaining how it works. User:!jimtalk contribs 03:43, 11 February 2014 (UTC) A good point is made above. I was looking to understand the fine details of the sides of the triangles being referred to-- an actual graphical layout for how the milliradian subtends the angle from the eye to the target. --Beschreib77 (talk) 20:03, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
