Reason for reversion of your edits

 * You are taking this quite the wrong way, and melodrama like "Things are not now as they were then, but suppression is still suppression" is quite unnecessary.


 * Your edits were not removed due to some strange cabal of Sight Shooters who are out to suppress proper life-saving training. Your edits were removed because you did not conform your writing style to what is used on Wikipedia. To draw a parallel, it's as though you had a magazine ask you for "an 800-word article written in the first person in layman's terms at a 10th grade reading level, with a few anecdotes about people you know who've survived gunfights using point-shooting" and instead you sent them something that looks like a page from military FM with dry impersonal verbiage and 1700 words long with multiple charts and graphs.


 * You can take a glance at most any decent Wikipedia article, and none of them are discursive personal essays such as you wrote. This is an encyclopedia, so the focus is briefly and concisely putting out basic facts based on published consensus, not musing on the issue at lenght. Note, for example, Rex Applegate. It gives the basic facts of his life, theories he was known for, and publications.


 * In summary, your edits were removed due to not being written in a usable way, not because of any dispute over content. If you'd like advice from volunteer mentors on how to better conform your contributions to the standard style, please visit the Tearoom. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Just visited the page 6/10/15 and think the current version is very good. Thanks to the contributors whose work with some oversight I am sure, came up with an easy reading and well written and presented text. John Veit Visit www.pointshooting.com for info and articles and FBI statistics and papers on handgun effectiveness. If you are interested in this subject area, visit the site and copy whatever info you are interested in. You and others are welcome to use/share it as you see fit. I am going to be 80 and as such, my life and the life of the site may be short lived. Thanks again for a balanced approach to the subject matter.

Also, I am not schooled in making edits, or the ins and outs of how wiki editing works, so this my be not correct.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Point shooting. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
