removed reference to Type 72 as small and anti-personnel, it seems to be big. [1] (http://ndmic-cidnm.forces.gc.ca/landmine.asp?lang=e&LandmineID=197) --Demilio 05:46, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
for anyone working on this article, here is a useful news item [2] (http://www.myafghan.com/news2.asp?id=-1451334158) Kingturtle 18:51 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)
"The legal export of anti-personnel landmines has ceased as of 1999." Whose laws are we talking about here? DJ Clayworth 14:56, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Boy it's frustrating to come across an article like this during my lunch break, and know there's no way I'll have time to fix it before I've got to get back to work. But this article is a classic example of Wikipedia at its worse: a vaguely plausible melange of POV, popular myths, and outright errors. Grrr. I'll just have to let off steam here and come back when I can spare the time. Securiger 02:31, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Why does it say to see Honeywell for other types of mine? If Honeywell make mines, why not just say so? --Mbp 00:28, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
According to ICBL's web site Turkey has signed the treaty in Sep 2003 (http://www.icbl.org/lm/2003/turkey.html) and is no longer manufacturing mines. Can an editor check and correct this please?
Manufacturers
There is some useful information under Manufacturers, but I feel it should be moved to its own separate section, as the information on toy-shaped land mines and cluster bomblets is different from who is making the land mines. -- Addboy 03:34, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
Email suggestion
Dear Wikipedia,
Hope I have the right address for this. I read your landmine section and while good, it lends little help to the civilians or military patrols who are most of the casualties. The article below describes a free method that I put out on the web. If you decide to review and use, please feel free.
