Picking up the tag
edit@Jake Brockman: would I ask you to notice me which sentence of the article includes POV issue?Saff V. (talk) 10:24, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Saff V.: IMO, the entire article has a balance problem, I can't really pinpoint individual phrases. International arms trade is a very complex topic and the article pretty much hinges on two anti arms trade organisation, the government and a couple of articles in the liberal media. This needs more points of view. The article has a subliminal critical tone in the way how it is written. See also Arms industry as example for a more balanced approach. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 10:51, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Jake Brockman: Thank you. I will try to soften the tone in some sentence that reveals the critical tones, but about affixing more points of view, as you know it needs to other user's help. I will try to expand the article but individually is a little hard and needs time. E.g we can need a section titled Sectors. I wonder if you have any idea about other sections to be added necessarily. They are the best clues for other users.Saff V. (talk) 07:03, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
- Concur with Jake Brockman that the POV issues with this page are very serious. Using unbalanced sourcing may also be a problem. Lede is sourced to a group called Action on Armed Violence - I linked it, but it didn't come up as a page. Was the name written wrong? Or does the group not have a page? Unusual to center the lede on an outfit not notable enough to have a page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Additional Suggestion
editApologies that this comment is not in the expected format. I'm a very casual viewer of Wikipedia. I feel this topic would be served by a list of products that the UK exports with their destinations. From what I gather this could be in the public domain, as all exports are subject to a license issued by the government. 217.38.157.134 (talk) 06:58, 15 October 2019 (UTC) Joe JJ, UK
Meaning of opening paragraph
editTumblingsky (talk) 02:33, 25 September 2020 (UTC) I would have edited the following sentence but, because it is ungrammatical, the author’s intended meaning is unclear.
According to the analysis by Action on Armed Violence, Military arms deals have been prepared £39bn between 2008 and 2017.
i) Why is military capitalised?
ii) what is ‘... Military arms deals have been prepared £39bn...’ supposed to mean?
Thanks
The Article is Biased
editGenerally, its attitude is that sale of weapons is a positive achievment. And that the more weapons exported, the greater that achievement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephiefaulkner (talk • contribs) 23:42, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
