Edits IWI Negev
The edits you made in IWI Negev do not meet the standards of within a wikipedia article. Your edits were Original Research WP:OR or you were citing yourself. To make edits within Wikipedia you must be able to provide sources that actually say what you are adding. You cannot insert content that you "just know", or have personal experience, and you cannot do Original Research from sources. Some of what you added was also not factually correct. The Negev can fire with the stock folded, the stock is modified from original galil stock, including a cut out in the stock to allow for room for the bolt.

You should also check the Wikipedia manual of style, as place names, i.e. country names should be capitalized. Manual of Style/Capital letters

Every mention of 'Israel' and 'Israeli' were non-capitalized, i.e. 'israel', 'israeli'

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the helpful articles on wikipedia (Help:Introduction) to help you make well referenced and constructive edits to wiki articles. KarmaKangaroo (talk) 12:45, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Not every claim in every article has sources. The factually wrong claim which I erased and replaced regarding the Negev being a replacement for the Galil did not have any sources, for example. Besides the article constantly errs regarding the different versions of the Negev using them in almost a random fashion. It's not as if the article was state of the art.
 * And what you say is not "actually correct" is a basic fact that every Negev operator (including myself) knows. When the stock of the original Negev is folded you can fire if the Negev is loaded in advance and then the bolt handle is brought to a forward position and only then the stock folded, but you cannot load it since the bold handle is caught by the stock, and therefore you cannot really operate the weapon once it jams. It's not "original research" - it's bootcamp facts of life regarding the Negev. Eliyahu Ben Asher (talk) 18:12, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You're right that's not original research, that would mean you had sources, you can or be a source. Every claim should have a source that states that. If you want to add these claims you need to find, acceptable sources of the information, you cannot use your personal knowledge to make edits and make claims.
 * Just because you don't think other claims are referenced doesn't mean you can make edits that do just that. Please familiarise yourself with the Wikipedia rules. Wikipedia is not a place for you to post your personal experience or knowledge. KarmaKangaroo (talk) 02:46, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll keep it in mind and improve. I saw that you wrote correctly in the article about the stock, btw. Eliyahu Ben Asher (talk) 03:07, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have done a bunch of editing, and have improved the consistency of the page, my initial edit, that expanded this page was consistent, but changes over time it has become somewhat disjointed. I also did a bunch of digging for the development process, and have re-added info re. the MAG as I have at least 2 references for it included. I hope this helps.

 * Nevermind, an edit was made in the middle of me working on that, and when I published, the edit just disappeared. Hours of work gone, I give up man. KarmaKangaroo (talk) 11:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I don't get it. It was my own photograph, and I specifically mentioned it. In what way was it copyrighted material? Eliyahu Ben Asher (talk) 03:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
