Why on earth has this been moved? Owen Gun was and is the common name.Grant65 (Talk) 10:45, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

It hasn't been moved, check the history! I merged a lesser article "Owen Gun" into this article and turned the other into a redirect. GraemeLeggett 17:03, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Graeme, I really think the redirect should be reversed. I've never seen or heard the name "Owen machine carbine" in official war histories, academic histories or in popular culture. It is always the Owen Gun, and there is no danger of confusion.Grant65 (Talk) 13:06, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Try these links http://www.awm.gov.au/korea/weapons/owen/owen.htm and http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-weapons/omc.htm but I understand what you're saying and we can do the rearrangement, the Sten machine carbine is under Sten after all. GraemeLeggett 13:18, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

In accordance with the above discussion, I have now requested at Wikipedia:Requested moves that the article be moved to Owen Gun. Grant65 (Talk) 13:05, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. Unnecessary disambiguation removed. Dragons flight 01:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Most strange the edit of the 2nd Oct didnt show in my watchlist. No move tag temlate either! GL
