- Thanks for the welcome, and the useful links. I'm not too sure if this is the best way to reply to a message, but since it's my user talk page i guess i can't go wrong! Akadruid 12:37, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)
FMA
editI think I may have NPOV'd your concerns with the Federal Marriage Amendment. Davodd 19:34, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Nice work, thank you! I have removed the NPOV message - the article now appears NPOV. Your edit was just what this article needed, and something I could not have done, since I know nothing about the subject! akaDruid 10:14, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Thank you for the invitation to WikiProject Automobiles, I'll get on the E-type this afternoon as soon as I check my facts. --Hcheney 11:46, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi!
The WikiProject Automobiles sounds like a great idea. Would like to join the the group. Seems as if there ist mostly knowledge/interest of German, British and US cars in the group, so I'll bring in some more French Cars (but also more German cars)...
BTW: Seems to me, that old cars are somehow underrepresented in Wikipedia, e.g. I'm really wondering why there is nearly no information about the VW Type 2 in Wikipedia, which is IMHO as important as the Type 1 aka VW Beetle. I would start that page, but wonder, how the page should be named. Is "VW" or "Volkswagen" as prefix prefered? Shall I call the suffix "Type 2" (which would be exact), "Transporter" (which is the official name, but also is still used for more modern variants like the forth and fifth generation, which are no more "Type 2"), "VW-Bus" (with dash and without further prefix), like it was called in many countries or "VW Bully", which also was a popular nickname for the Type 2. Especially for the english Wikipedia, this probably also depends on how international the names are. Maybe this is also a issue, the WikiProject Automobiles could give some general advice. --XTaran | Talk 14:35, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- VW Type 2 is now created. Hope, you have some additions, too. :-) --XTaran | Talk 19:29, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Aka, glad you created the Auto Project. Is it fairly new? not sure what has been done so far... --Rj 06:06, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)
re: Redirects
editNo problem. I was just going to drop you a message too! :) --Mrwojo 15:11, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Haha i'm afraid my editing is more gungho enthusiasm than RTFM. I've got it now tho! akaDruid 15:26, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the update, I wasn't aware that Lincoln has been moved out of PAG - must check my facts next time!!
The Volkswagen Phaeton
editI noticed you started an article entitled "VW Phaeton". For your information, I had already started one entitled "Volkswagen Phaeton".
—Vespristiano 06:22, 2004 Apr 7 (UTC)
I just noticed I never replied to that... I'm sure everyone has noticed by now that VW Phaeton is now a redirect to Volkswagen Phaeton. Cheers. [[User:Akadruid|akaDruid(Talk)]] 11:25, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Car classification
edit'moved from user page'
- Car classification needs work to explain the differences and sort the layout out. (done some) [[User:Akadruid|akaDruid (Talk)]]
- I put back my two penny worth about LUV as they are very different animals. In some cases, the M class for example, might be better under MPV. Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control can make them very safe too. I wonder whether some of the article isn't too POV?Rjstott 04:03, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Renault Laguna neutrality
editHi Akadruid. I have done some work on the Renault Laguna article to try and make it more NPOV. Seeing as you are the user that put the {{NPOV}} notice on that page I thought I should ask you if you think it is better now? I have put a similar message on the Laguna talk page.

- Nice job. I replied on your talk page. [[User:Akadruid|akaDruid (Talk)]] 11:50, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
