Balkan Wars of the 1990s

This MG also saw service in the 1990s. --89.49.185.211 (talk) 18:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit

I changed 'drum-magazine' to 'box'. I did this because the term could be could be confusing as regards weapons like the Lewis. The normal term for a piece of equipment like this is 'belt-box'. RASAM (talk) 18:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Kynoch machine gun

I propose we don't really need a separate article for the Kynoch machine gun. As the article creator says, it's "basically a copy". Funnyfarmofdoom _{(talk to me)} 01:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

 Got it: merged and redirected to the "Production" section here. Look good, User:Funnyfarmofdoom? (If you even remember you ever saw that article...) Ansh666 00:45, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

a notice

the Schwarzlose machinen gewehr seems to had been a 1905 construction and not a 1907 construction — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.131.242.250 (talk) 20:40, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Origin

While it was assembled in Austria-Hungary it was designed by a German firearms designer, so I wonder if stating that Austria-Hungary is the county of origin in the infobox is correct. What are your thoughts and what are the wikipedia rules in these cases? M11rtinb (talk) 17:53, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 26 May 2015

Schwarzlose M07/12 → Schwarzlose M.7 – The official Austro-Hungarian Army designation of the first (M.1907) model was Maschinengewehr Schwarzlose M.7 (Source - army manual). Shouldn't this article be named Schwarzlose M.7 and not by one of its variations, the M.7/12? I understand that more M.7/12s were made because of WWI, but anyway.

• Oppose: The manual uses "Maschinengewehr (Schwarzlose) M. 7" (note parenthesis and space) and not "Schwarzlose M.7". The proper names (in German) are "Maschinengewehr M. 7", "Maschinengewehr Schwarzlose" and "Schwarzlose MG/M.G.". In English, "Schwarzlose machine gun" would be most appropriate, as per article names in Category:Medium machine guns. --Zoupan 22:31, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
• Comment MOS:SLASH/WP:SUBPAGE. -- slashes should be avoided when possible because they cause problems. On the internet, they look like subpages, and talk pages on Wikipedia are treated as subpages. So if we can choose a name without a slash, that would be a good idea. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 22:55, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
