57mm bofors guns on HMS Halland class destroyer from the 1950's
editShouldn't the army's 57mm gun contemporary with the 40mm L/70 be mentioned as well as the 57mm dual turrets on HMS Småland and HMS Halland destroyers of the 1950's be mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.228.58.184 (talk) 18:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Duplication of contents
edit- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Closed as the consensus has been reached towards to merger.
- To all concerned, I'm putting forward the notion of merging the 57 Mk3 and Mk 110 57 mm gun pages into this article page as it is a clear-cut duplication of content/data. Thoughts anyone? --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 14:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- I concure, the article will be more complete with the other ones merged into it. --MoRsE (talk) 18:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Support merge, with no prejudice against splitting sections again into separate articles later as the article (hopefully) matures. MKFI (talk) 08:19, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
It makes a lot of sense as they are essentially the same weapon.Gunnerboss (talk) 16:55, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Alrighty, I'm officially closing this thread as consensus reached after being opened for over 6 months. Thanks all~! --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 11:10, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
Merger completed, article revamped
edit- Done~! Please feel free to comment or feedback to me about this recent major overhaul, thank you. --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 20:40, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
Why is information GONE?
editWhere have any mention of the Bofors 57 model 1948 gone? I know i have previously read that information on wikipedia, and now it seems to no longer exist... DW75 (talk) 16:05, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
editCyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Rename article
editBofors made several 57 mm guns and its incorrect to call this article just Bofors 57 mm gun.
The more correct international name for the article would be Bofors 57 mm l/70, or if u want the original service name then its Bofors 57 mm APJ 7101.
To show what i mean here are some other notable Bofors guns in 57 mm calibre.
57 mm pvkan m/43 (57 mm anti tank gun)
57 mm akan m/47 (57 mm airplane mounted auto cannon)
57 mm lvakan m/50 (57 mm anti air auto cannon, also known as the Bofors 57 mm l/60)
--Blockhaj (talk) 22:27, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- So i moved the page.--Blockhaj (talk) 23:32, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
Further refinement to the naming of the article
editSo i have since making the above change to the name of the article gotten a lot more familiar with the classic naming scheme of Bofors. Bofors classic and most formal naming of firearms since at least the 1930s has been the following: caliber (57 mm), followed by weapon type (naval automatic gun, from SAK "sjöautomatkanon"), followed by the barrel length, including the length of the breach (L/70). I think the article should be renamed to Bofors 57 mm naval automatic gun L/70.--Blockhaj (talk) 16:12, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
