Copyright Violation?[edit]

See this "revision as of 15:43, 23 July 2009" diff seems word for word the same as here (world.guns.ru) website.--220.101.28.25 (talk) 02:54, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this is not a quotation, it's just a blatant copy of that site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.82.206.20 (talk) 08:52, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still a fairly obvious copy-paste of Maxim Popenker's text after all these years so I've flagged it. --Vometia (talk) 11:37, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My reply to the copyvio page:

The author of the original text has emailed to say he is happy to be quoted verbatim as long as he is properly cited and sourced. I have asked if he has a handy link to his terms and conditions. --Vometia (talk) 15:11, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So in theory everything is probably fine as it seems it was properly cited etc but things being what they are I suppose we need something a bit more formal than "it's okay because somebody emailed me to say so".

Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. --Vometia (talk) 15:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Venezuela[edit]

Unless I'm missing something, how does the Guardian article state that Venezuela is going to replace its MAGs with PKPs in 2018? It's just some article about UK weapons exports. Thom430 (talk) 09:57, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PKP Pecheneg machine gun → PKP Pecheneg – Of all the variations of this machine guns name, I believe "PKP Pecheneg" is the one that is the most accurate and unambiguous, without being excessively long (which I feel "PKP Pecheneg machine gun" is). Thanks, RadiculousJ (talk) 14:02, 13 October 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 12:10, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – the current title is not excessively long, and is much better at pointing out what the topic of the article is. Dicklyon (talk) 04:55, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Who Makes It?[edit]

Who created the PKP Pecheneg machine gun, and who manufacturers it? Does it have an origin? Does it have a creator... Some unanswered questions... Stevenmitchell (talk) 09:10, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
