Your edits on Assault rifle
Hello.I have reverted your edits on Assault rifle. Don't make such major changes without explaining why and discussing it on the talk page first, Just writing "reverted to version without deleted sections" in the edit summary isn't enough. Thomas.W talk 16:01, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Well that would be good advice for the previous editor who gutted large sections of the article last month. If you look back in the history this article has been stable for many years but it has been radically changed this spring. Thank you for bearing with the situation, and I understand why it looked like I was making a big change. The only change I made was with some of the pictures (and I re-added the gallery). Thanks again. Veday1945 (talk) 16:05, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The article was bloated and badly needed to be gutted. Noone opposed the trimming of the article a month ago, but I oppose your wholesale restore now. So discuss it on the talk page and get consensus for restoring it, before you do it again. Also remember that by restoring it you assume responsibility for every single word in the text, as much as you would have if you had written it from scratch. Thomas.W talk 16:28, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
 * There was no consensus a month ago, and the article had been like that for years. I really would appreciate if you looked over the older version to see if there is anything you think is worth keeping. Veday1945 (talk) 16:58, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
