Default Why no Parker shotgun on Wikipedia?

Wikipedia contains information on just about everything - but there's nothing on Parker shotguns. That seems a shame considering the amount of information that exists.

Interesting. Make one up for them. That's how they operate. Someone puts the entry together and submits it and, if accepted, is open to being improved on by readers somehow. I think that's how they work?? Anyone??

yes it is, that is why they have had issues with plagerism and false data. a while back one of their "expert" reviewers was exposed as a fraud, completely false credentials

but- if it on the Internet it must be true

if someone wants to know about Parkers -its better they find this site than Wikipedia. IMHO

There is mention of the Parker Shotgun in the History section of the Wiki page on Meriden, CT.
