I have been making minor edits to comply with the Wiki so called "soap boxing" feel to the article. Any help in the clean up would be appreciated. Creativebuzzz (talk) 01:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
That's a photoshopped image.
editThe image in the info box is just straight up photoshopped. Astralaquaria (talk) 16:59, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- I noticed that as well, but the thing that made me do a double-take was the caption claiming that it's used by the New South Wales Police! I can confirm that the logo on the side is that of the NSW Police Force, but after some digging around, the only source I could find that would be even close to related is this right here from 2009. No mention of the police, only thing it says is that they would made 150 of them and their initial pricing was $400,000 USD. Now I'm no car expert, but I don't think the NSW Police would be one of those initial clients. Extremely high price tag, limited availability, and they're not the target audience.
- Addenumn: After doing even more digging, it's definitely a photoshop. Here's where it was originally added to the article, and you can see that the file name specifies it was saved from Flickr. Source from the Wikimedia Commons file says it came from right here, and it's in an album literally labeled "Photoshopped Highway Patrol Pix". In conclusion, the current image is definitely not suitable, since it is a fabrication of information. The exact same photo angle and image dimensions can be found right on the company's website too: second last row, second from the right. Sirocco745 (talk) 07:59, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- That is absurd. Should the image be replaced with the one directly from the website? Astralaquaria (talk) 19:38, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- Well, the issue with that would be copyright. I can't find any better alternative and Wikipedia does provide guidelines for the use of non-free content, so maybe we could use it? I've given it a read, but I'm not fully confident. It's here: WP:NFC. Sirocco745 (talk) 05:18, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
