If you are going to push the above "cut & paste" as the definitive source for the meaning of the words "automatic & semi automatic", in their relationship to weapon function; then please give me the name of the individual who "up loaded" this to Wikipedia, so I can review his qualifications.

This is only fair, is it not?
I mentioned it because I found it interesting, since I'd always assumed that auto/semi-auto referred to the firing, not the loading. Feel free to disagree with Wikipedia, and to explain why, or not. I'm not personally invested in it in the slightest.
