I think this is long overdue. I appreciate what you have done and I would like to recognize the efforts of editors that contribute and aren't a part of the Wikiproject Automobile cabal.

Hi Typ932. The James Hunt picture looks OK. It's definitely a McLaren M26 and number 7 is the right number for the 1978 British GP (he drove an M23 with number 11 in the 1976 race). I'll update the description of the Lauda pic at commons. DH85868993 (talk) 10:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see you already did. Cool. DH85868993 (talk) 10:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Temporary injunction and your use of my monobook script

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Typ932,

I am pleased to see that you have used my monobook script; I hope you've found it useful.

This is to let you know that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.

Saturn

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I just went through and restored revisions prior to User:Jmcd88‎'s edits on the Saturn-related articles. Because no definitive decision has yet been reported regarding the company or its models, we should revert and not {{fact}} tag speculative edits until reliable sourcing confirms actual decisions have been made.   user:j    (aka justen)   06:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Yup, you're exactly right. Can you help me keep an eye on those articles for a while just in case the same problem creeps up again? (The Saturn Corporation article has had quite a few issues over the past few days along these lines.) They're on my watchlist, as well. Take care.   user:j    (aka justen)   06:59, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

"Information found at corresponding Japanese Wikipedia article" declaration

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

'ello,

Just so you know, the reason why I put that in is so another editor doesn't try to dispute the information, tag it and then try to remove it, claiming there are no in-text citations. I got the info from Japawikipedia and that's the source.

Cheers(Regushee (talk) 21:18, 5 May 2009 (UTC))

Would using the Japanese word for "Japan", or "Nippon" be objectionable, since other uses of the word Japan are already used?(Regushee (talk) 14:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC))

I saw in this diff that you added an "accessmonthday" and/or "accessdaymonth" parameter. Please be informed that these are deprecated. The preferred way is to put day, month, and year together in the "accessdate" parameter. Thank you, Debresser (talk) 02:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

NEVER HAPPENED!!!

Latest comment: 15 years ago5 comments1 person in discussion

Regarding you reverting my good faith edits in the article, Fiat. i have got two refrences that say that Fiat and Tata were to build Global Pick Up and the Fiat Terra/Tata Xenon is that vehicle. It is assembled in a renault factory in argentina and in a tata factory in thailand. if you are satisfied then ill add the info again.--Enthusiast10 (talk) 08:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Tata and Fiat planned to develop a global pick up jointly. The xenon was first showcased in bologna in 2008 and it was released across released in India and South Africa late 2008. In feb, 2009 Xenon was released in the rest of Africa, Indian Subcontinent, Venenzuela, Argentina and southern europe including spain and italy. Xenon was assembled in Thailand untill Fiat decided to let the Xenon to be assembled in Fiat's factory in Argentina. As my sources say the Fiat Terra in to be released sometime in 2009. This deal is similar to the Fiat Sedici-Suzuki SX4. cheers--Enthusiast10 (talk) 14:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
http://www.tatamotors.com/our_world/press_releases.php?ID=287&action=Pull - this is tata media's release saying that the tata xenon will be sold under the fiat brand in latin america.--Enthusiast10 (talk) 14:57, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


i was misinformed, tata xenon was not released in the whole of south america, only in venenzuela--Enthusiast10 (talk) 15:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
http://www.vicky.in/straightfrmtheheart/tag/telcoline/ http://www.italiaspeed.com/2008/cars/industry/01/tata_xenon/1201.html
Its not a canceled project cz the pick up has already been released in india, italy, spain, thailand etc. Its tata's best selling car in Europe. However, it might be that the latin american plan may been delayed or canceled. Ill try and find newer sources [1]
As i read more, i realise that this tata-fiat collaboration is not as big as the sedici-sx4 collaboration. Tata released the pick-up in Europe itself and it has been received well thus im sure xenon wont be sold in europe under the fiat tag. However, tata doesnt have delearships in latin america except for venenzuela, thus fiat may sell the pick up in argentina and brazil for tata.--Enthusiast10 (talk) 15:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Category:Defunct truck manufacturers

Latest comment: 15 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Isnt this for defunct companies, not companies that doesnt make trucks anymore? --Typ932 T·C 15:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Not wishing to put up the stress level but I am disputing the cat Defunct truck manufacturers of the United Kingdom for several reasons. The item you are refering to is a lorry- truck is either slang or an Americanism, which is not appropriate to a UK cat tree. Secondly the title is ambiguous. Thirdly shouldn't the title be either Manufacturers of defunct vehicles in the United Kingdom or Defunct manufacturers of vehicles in the United Kingdom. Most adjective can be used to qualify a noun and as a stand alone description- some can only be used in the second way- I have only heard defunct used that way. Now on to Aveling and Porter, as a manufacture principally of road rollers. The name is defunct, the company has been merged beyond recognition, it never manufactured trucks- only an occasional Steam Waggon, I am reverting the tag.--ClemRutter (talk) 16:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
As a Brit, I wouldn't normally use the words "defunct" or "truck" - but those are the chosen existing formats for Wikipedia! So either we end up using words which mean more to some, or follow the existing Wikipedia category forms. Having been through such a series of debates before, I conclude the category forms which are in place set a precedence, are also the more globally used terms, and hence followed existing protocol. The category covers both defunct and former truck manufacturing companies. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 23:48, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Category:2010s automobiles

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I closed your second nomination of Category:2010s automobiles for deletion. This was deleted about 3 weeks ago, so lacking any new compelling information it is simply way to soon for a new nomination. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:15, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Clearly the consensus of the other editors is in favor of keeping. The fact that you have problems or issues with that consensus is not a reason to delete the category. Vegaswikian (talk) 04:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles

Latest comment: 15 years ago5 comments1 person in discussion

Check the wiki of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. So yes, it is a separate brand and marque of Volkswagen! And also check their website: http://www.volkswagen-commercial-vehicles.com So do not remove it! Schalkcity (talk) 18:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

There may not be the car Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Transporter, but Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is used as a brand itself. It is mentioned on the wiki page and it has its own website, it is a division on its own in the Volkswagen Group. If you follow the news, you hear that Porsche/Volkswagen has 10 marques. If you count them, including Volkswagen CV, it is indeed 10. So it should be in the list. Schalkcity (talk) 19:27, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
You are right about Fiat Professional. It is a 'new' brand of Fiat, since 2007. So that one should also be included in the list. And I bet there are not many brands like these two, just mention more. By the way, Fiat Professional even has its own logo, so it is for sure a brand. Check this link: http://www.fiatgroup.com/it-it/group/default/Documents/ENG_brochure10-04-09.pdf all brands of the Fiat Group (Fiat S.p.A.): Lancia, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Fiat Professional, Abarth, Maserati, Ferrari, Case Construction, Case IH Agriculture, New Holland Agriculture, New Holland Construction, Steyr, Cobelco, Iveco, Iveco Magirus, Iveco Astra, Iveco Irisbus, and four other non-vehicle producing brands. Schalkcity (talk) 19:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Yes, all these brands of Fiat are currently produced and sold by Fiat under their brand names. The same is true for Porsche / Volkswagen. Schalkcity (talk) 19:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Correctly, there are brands and models. The brand name is Ferrari, the model name is Testarossa. In these cases: the brand names are Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Fiat Professional, the models are Transporter (T5) and Ducato, for example. And the Ferrari brand is part of the Fiat Group and the VWCV is part of the Volkswagen Group, which is part of the Porsche Holding Company. Schalkcity (talk) 20:01, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Inline-4 engines

Latest comment: 15 years ago4 comments1 person in discussion

Straight-four engine article name should be changed to Inline-four engine, and in text sometimes referred to as Straight-4.(article is the reverse and text says sometimes referred to as inline-4). An inline-4 engine is rarely if ever referred to as a straight-4 engine. "Straight" designation is used to describe an inline-6 (straight-6) and straight-8 (50's). The designation carried over to the sixties for the six cylinder engines but not to the 70's for the four cylinder engines. I haven't seen Straight-four except on this site. It is not the proper designation for an inline four engine, and was probably only chosen because of the article writer's individual preference and/or the same writer as other "Straight engine" articles. How is the title edited. Vegavairbob (talk) 22:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Not sure if I did it right. Can you please check it. Thanks Vegavairbob (talk) 22:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
I could use your support on the Straight-four engine talk to change title. Before deciding read an editor's research done (listed in in several parts) before my last comment. Thanks.Vegavairbob (talk) 14:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
