Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Assault rifle. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 09:41, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * this isn't discussion this is a literal translation that confirms misconceptions on your page... most notably the fact that other "carbine" rifles (short barrelled rifles) are being defined as "assault rifles" which is completely wrong... the term "Assault Rifle" is quite literally the translation of the german word Sturmgeweher

 * no weapon other then the "sturmgeweher" in the history of weapons can be defined as an "assault rifle" because they aren't only the sturmgeweher can be.. because that's its friggen name the "assault rifle 44" even the vaunted AK47 this page claims is an "assault rifle" is not... its an Avtomat Kalashnikova Rifle... 2607:FEA8:1D5F:C570:CD5D:8039:9EA3:91BD (talk) 09:56, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * the Avtomat Kalashnikova literally just translates into "automatic kalashnikov" its to say its an "assault rifle" is incorrect its simply an "automatic rifle" 2607:FEA8:1D5F:C570:CD5D:8039:9EA3:91BD (talk) 10:03, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * like i know hollywood has popularized the term "assault rifle" but when used outside of the context of referring to a "StG 44" the term "assault rifle isn't correct" 2607:FEA8:1D5F:C570:CD5D:8039:9EA3:91BD (talk) 10:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * like take it in this context if i were to say "M16 Assault Rifle", when translated into german i would be saying "M16 Sturmgeweher" 2607:FEA8:1D5F:C570:CD5D:8039:9EA3:91BD (talk) 10:13, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * im not saying "Assault Rifles" don't exist what im clarifying is that "Assault Rifles" are not a weapon category... it is the name of a specific weapon... Sturmgeweher 44's do in fact fall under the "Automatic Rifles" category as do M16's and AK47's.. because they are all "Automatic" and are "Rifles" but only one is an "Assault Rifle 44 Automatic Rifle" 2607:FEA8:1D5F:C570:CD5D:8039:9EA3:91BD (talk) 10:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The sources in the article disagree with you about the meaning of the term. The US Army and the Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, say that assault rifle is a type of weapon. Sjö (talk) 10:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * even in the Britannica link you provided they are defined as automatic weapons, though that waybackmachine link was interesting funny how the only article is something from the 70's with vaguely defined language where they also get around to basically calling it an "automatic rifle" when its defines as "a short compact selective-fire weapon that fires a cartridge intermediate in power between a submachinegun and rifle cartridge" that can deliver "fully-automatic fire at ranges of up to 300 meters"
 * most of that definition is just a toggle switch attachment and barrel length... like now your just getting into the semantics of it... so an AK47 with the select fire mechanism removed wouldn't be an "assault rifle" anymore even though it can fire in semi automatic and fully automatic still... 2607:FEA8:1D5F:C570:CD5D:8039:9EA3:91BD (talk) 11:20, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
