If I get it right the javelin was not only a thrown weapon mainly but also always one-handed (or at least usually used with a shield).
If that's correct it would be nice to be added to the early part of this article to distinguish the javelin further from the more general spear and the different pike.
Since I'm not sure about this I didn't change the article itself.
I also added a similar comment to the
Pike_(weapon) talk.

Consider changing the order of the pictures

Done... after thinking about it for a few years. I actually had to draw a pic myself, as I couldn't find any available useful ones. --
