Chrysler Hemi engine

Jwess, I have (again) reverted your unsourced assertion that the current-production Hemi® engine is "based off the 1950s 345 Hemi", because it is neither supported nor supportable. That, in turn, is because it is not factual. If you can come up with a reliable source supporting this assertion, by all means please present it. Unless and until you can, though, please refrain from adding it back into the article, for it constitutes original research at best. Let's all work together to improve the quality of the Hemi article. Not with pet text, rumours and other unencyclopædic detritus, but with verifiable and verified facts, data and figures. --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 22:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Your latest revision is considerably less problematic than what you posted before. However, I fear you're going to continue to run into trouble (i.e., your contributions will frequently and quickly be deleted) because you don't seem to be aware of the standards of information quality here on Wikipedia. Please take a few minutes to read this, which explains the basic standards to which everybody's contributions are held. Your ownership of a 2004 Dodge and your being a "big Dodge fan" is fine, but in no way does either of those things support or qualify your contributions to Wikipedia. In addition, it's important (and good manners) to sign your posts on talk pages. This is as easy as just hitting the tilde key ~ four times in a row at the end of your post. Doing so automatically "stamps" your comment with your user name, time, and date of posting. If you don't do so, you force others to go in and sign your post for you, which gets tiresome. If you'll please take just a short time to familiarise yourself with how things are done around here, you'll get a lot more mileage out of your contributions. Thanks! --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 02:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
