There really needs to be an article on the javelin as an actual ancient thrown weapon, not just a sporting event. . . . (Maybe I'll find time to write it.) --- Michael K. Smith 16:40, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
This article seriously needs attention, it's getting vandalized alot. User:superknijn
The result of the proposal was rename
This stems from the proposal made above. Javelin currently redirects to Javelin (weapon), while other meanings are discussed at Javelin (disambiguation). One of these articles needs to move, and I'm not sure which. The question is, what do most people expect to see at javelin? Is it the ancient weapon ( javelin (weapon), which does not include the modern sporting javelin)? Is it the sporting discpiline ( javelin throw)? Is it something else? Share your thoughts, please. -- Stemonitis 19:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we should reconsider using Javelin as a disambiguation page. The original meaning of javelin is the weapon. All other meanings are derivative of its original meaning. If you check the dictionary it gives you the weapon as the first definition (try M-W for example). But most important to wiki users is the consistency of the terms in each subject. Every general weapon's name has a disambiguation page, but it always secondary for the weapon page, e.g. lance, sword, dagger, shield, armour, helmed etc. with pike the only exception, I don't know why. Therefore I think Javelin should be the weapon page and have a reference to the disambig page like the above mentioned examples. Nik Sage ( talk/ contrib) 03:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Statistics about the javelin please? What's the maxium range? Average weight? Stuff like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.121.21.29 ( talk) 01:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
