armor description

"Protection agianst small arms only" isn't saying the armor thickness. Can someone try to get better information? Thanks.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:245:C101:6BCC:0:0:0:382 (talk) 16:59, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

I wonder how come 2.75 ton Wiesel weghts less than 2,680 kg (curb weight) Humvee. --Tigga en (talk) 10:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

If it's 2.75 short tons (2,000 lbs/907 kg to the short ton), then it weighs about 2,500 kg, which would make sense. There's just not enough info here to know if the stated weight is short tons, long tons (2,240 lbs/1,016 kg) or metric tons (2,205 lbs/1,000 kg) Good Skoda (talk) 19:23, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

The article means metric tons. So the Wiesel weighs 2750 kg. Inbetween the Wiesel 1 got upgraded and now weighs between 3000kg (MK+TOW version) and 3300 kg (reconnaissance version). 213.61.222.21 (talk) 06:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

US listed as a user on map

The attached map has the US highlighted as a user, something I missed in the article? 204.106.234.244 (talk) 00:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Why is the engine on the left and driver on the right?!

Wiesel AWCWiesel (weapons carrier) – The name "Wiesel AWC" was marked as citation needed for more than a year in the articles intro which I have now changed to simply Wiesel. I have checked German Wikipedia where the article for this vehicle is named "Wiesel (militärisches Kettenfahrzeug)" or "Wiesel (military tracked vehicle)". The Bundeswehr website refers to it as the "Waffenträger Wiesel" or "Weapons Carrier Wiesel", but it's clear from other pages on the Bundeswehr website such as the page on the Leopard 2 ("Kampfpanzer Leopard 2") that they preface all vehicle names with the type of vehicle.

Therefore, as "weapons carrier" is not part of proper name, the article should be "Wiesel (weapons carrier)".
