"Armor piercing tank rounds were manufactured using depleted uranium."[edit]

Hi 172.56.11.89, I saw your edit on Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant and wanted to comment on your edit summary "Removed unsourced/false statement "the plant produced depleted uranium tank rounds" during WW II. There was no such thing then and no source they later produced any"

Agree it's unsourced - but that alone is no reason to wholesale remove a statement IMMEDIATELY though. You are new to wikipedia I see, and I also see you want other people to cut you slack, as you are writing your own article... So, whats best is, is to flag it with ^{[citation needed]}. Whoever watches the page, gets the message. Then you wait, in a not very active page like that I' d wait weeks. I ve seen people wait 2 months before they go through with removal, if it isnt sourced. Makes sense?
Unfortunately, the statement isnt false, because the DU bullets were later produced on TCAAP premises, first by Honeywell, later ATK -now in Missouri- which still produces DU bullets, the M829A1 Kinetic Energy round (dubbed silver bullet), the M829A3 (120mm) Kinetic Energy tank cartridge, and the PGU-14 API (30mm) high-density penetrator see click specifications tab Evidence that it happened at TCAAP is with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which is responsible for supervising clean up of radioactive material at superfundsites (not EPA), see here and [1] here in 1998 and more.
the sentence didnt say they were produced during WWII- You assumed that due to context. But Whoever placed it was totally MISplacing the statement! And you are of course correct, DU ammunition is no thing of WWII, but modern times!

I hope you do get a username/register. I totally agree with your Australian collaborator ( forgot name)- it gives you more anonymity: you cant be geolocated by your ISP address, you have more rights etc. Best,--Wuerzele (talk) 05:01, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest[edit]

At least one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:04, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
