Lycoming Engines?
I was aware of Continetal Engines, but Lycoming? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BIGTAZ351W (talk • contribs) 05:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Whoa, deja vu
The whole history section is copied from here. Is there a reason it needs to be done twice? TREKphiler  any time you're ready, Uhura  13:57, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

The Chevy 230 L6 is not the stovebolt six, and the Chevy 250 is not a V6. Who writes this garbage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.8.1 (talk) 23:55, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Reorganization of Checker-related articles
These articles are a real mess right now. There are currently the following articles about Checker companies and products:


 * Checker Motors Corporation: This article. Covers the manufacturer and its vehicles, but long and poorly organized.
 * Checker Taxi: A mix of content about the Checker Taxi family of vehicles and the history of the Checker Taxi service in Chicago
 * Checker Model A: A minimal stub about this one pre-WWII Taxi model
 * Checker Aerobus: Start-class article about these variant vehicles based on the Taxi.
 * Checker Superba: Uncited stub about the consumer car that preceded the Marathon
 * Checker Marathon: The consumer version of the Taxi

I think the articles could be reorganized something like this:
 * Checker Motors Corporation should be strictly about the manufacturing company
 * Checker Taxi (Chicago) about the namesake taxi service (which both preceded and outlived the Checker Motors Corporation)
 * List of Checker Taxi companies (or something in this vein) to cover the many taxi lines in other cities also called Checker
 * List of Checker Motors Corporation vehicles mostly to collect the stubs of information about the pre-war models
 * Checker A series (as a hopefully reasonable compromise title) about the most notable Checker vehicles, the A2 through A11
 * Checker Marathon about the civilian cars, probably including a section for the Superba which doesn't need its own article at this point
