Talk:Jiefang CA-30

7 Apr 14
My grammar is terrible, but this sounds like translation problems, English as a second language type stuff. This is common where I live, so I thought I’d try to help. NO OFFENSE INTENDED.

You have to capitalize Russia, it’s a name. If you use a little “r” it looks insulting. There were a few others. And you capitalize the first word of a sentence, after that only names. Diesel is strange, Rudolf Diesel invented it, but now it is also a type, diesel.

I wanted to link this to the company article, but there are at least two. First_Automobile_Works is good, FAW_Jie_Fang is weaker. And the name is spelled differently in different places, I have used Jiefang and Tse Fan, and seen Jie Fan and Jie fang(?). Different translations, right?

I softened “copy” and “original”, sort of something I’ve been looking at. Here the ZiS 151 may be “influenced by”, “copied from”, or “reverse-engineered from” Lend-lease Studebaker US6s. Different meanings, “influenced” is best, “reverse” the worst. And none is really correct. I’m curious.

“Licensed” or “license built” means you have a legal ok (license) from the owner to build it exactly like the original. “Licensed” sounds much better than “copied”, I believe that Jiefangs were licensed from ZiL.

Can you find a better picture? That junker is an insult to the company.

Please remember, you don’t have to listen to me, please change anything back if you want. Sammy D III (talk) 19:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Different trucks
I have been playing with some similar trucks, the Chevy G506, GMC CCKW & DUKW, Stude US6, ZiS-151 (USSR), and Jiefang CA-30 (China). Sammy D III (talk) 04:44, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
