Forum:In real life information

Well, for those of you who don't frequent it, the Call of Duty wiki has been conducting an "In real life" information clean-up, getting rid of all IRL info in opening paragraphs, adding links to wikipedia pages and getting rid of IRL trivia. I thought this was a good idea, as it got rid of a lot of unneeded information (especially in trivia) and really showed prominently that all that matters is the in-game information. Looking at pages like the M16, which is absolutely cluttered with trivia about inaccuracies and weapon mechanism specifications and over-shadows the in-game trivia. The there's also pages like the SVD where 3/4 of the page is somebody who copy/pasted Wikipedia. Should we be taking action upon this? If so, do we get rid of ALL of it, or just partially, like getting rid of trivia ony, and not opening paragraphs? And do we do the same for factions (even if those are as short as possible)?
