The article Dutton Cars[1] is in the wrong category, as new Duttons are still being manufactured.
How do I go about getting this changed??[2] Timdutton (talk) 11:38, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Helped Hi Tim. Looks like you are still active, I removed Category:Defunct motor vehicle manufacturers of the United Kingdom from Dutton Cars and added Category:Motor vehicle manufacturers of the United Kingdom. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Happy editing. Sam Sailor Talk! 13:01, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Conflict of interest
edit
Hello, Timdutton. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dutton Cars, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Sam Sailor Talk! 13:01, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Amphibious automobile. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 06:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
