AK-47 Instruction Manual
Welcome to Wikibooks. I hope that you enjoy your experience while you are here.

I've noticed that you've started a new Wikibook here called AK-47 Instruction Manual. Make sure that you try to expand this into something that really resembles a manual and not just a simple encyclopedia article. I know that this is right at the beginning thoughts on how to do this, so I am willing to offer you some suggestions and pointers.

If you want to look at some successful Wikibooks and try to see how they are formatted, you might want to look at Book of the month for a list of some of the best ones here. You can copy stuff from Wikipedia as the foundation and initial core of content here, but it would be suggested that you substantially expand the content once you bring it to Wikibooks. That process is especially recommended if you are trying to cut a Wikipedia article down due to the length of that article.

Good luck on this project, and I hope it proves to be successful. --Rob Horning 14:36, 6 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your attention. However, I started the AK-47 Instruction Manual merely because the operation section of AK-47 article in en.wikipedia was removed by somebody (not me!) due to wikipedia policy, which says that wikipedia is not instruction manual. I thought that it would be good to preserve the removed content for future use, so I copied it to here.


 * Sadly, I don't have enough knowledge for AK-47. I just hoped that someone else will expand that small section to a real manual. -- Shotgunlee 06:38, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
