I've moved it to User:Peridon/Dodge Weapons Carrier T236 (APT 3/4) to see if I (or a page stalker) can do something with it. Looks like refs are the main problem. Feel free to have a go if you want. It should be safe there for a bit, anyway. Peridon (talk) 18:26, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Peridon,

I've no idea how to edit the page, nor if this is even how I'm supposed to 'talk' :(

All technical specs in my article were taken from a single original 1945 book that I used to own that was produced by the War Office in 1945. The book was essentially a 'Parts Manual/Workshop Reference Manual'. I cited that single document as a source when I submitted the article. There are no other sources for the data, (I owned and maintained a 1945 Dodge T236 for many years and conducted much research on that type...and nowhere, not even in the Imperial War Museum records, were further details or sources available). I could do a re-write of the article citing sources for non-technical aspects if you'd like, (such as where the name 'Beep' came from, and referencing a senior military official who used the phrase in a quote). If I do so do you think that would solve the problem? It would be a terrible shame to 'lose' the data on the T236 as there's lots of confusion about this particular, and quite rare, vehicle, (even amongst 'experts' in the various UK military vehicle preservation societies... Indeed, a previous Chairman of the UK's IMPS flatly denied that there was ever such a vehicle as a 'Canadian Dodge' when I was talking to him from my driver's seat!!).
 * No problems. On talk pages, we usually indent a reply by putting a : at the start of the first line (more than one : indents further), and we sign talk page posts with four ~ things which puts your sig and datestamp up. If you want to put some notes on the talk page for the article (just click the red 'talk' (or 'discussion') at the top, and put a heading (like Notes) inside two pairs of = things, you can get whatever you can find together. When you're getting somewhere, ask MelanieN for help in sorting it. (To contact her, either post at her talk page User talk:MelanieN (copy that into the Search box), or put a new message on the talk page where the notes are with her name MelanieN in two pairs of [ ] brackets in it. That'll ping her to look what's going on and see why someone's talking about her. (It's a new thing that, and very handy.) It's not time to ping her yet, which is why I've not put the brackets on here. She mightn't know much about military vehicles (heck, I don't either), but she's good at rescuing things. So is Cindamuse, but there might be a bit of excitement around her any time - just waiting for another editor to set the ball rolling (or for me and Cindy to do it ourselves). OK. See what you can come up with in refs - online or print. Get in touch with anyone you know who has heard of these Dodges - you never know what they might be sitting on. (Might even get them in to help...) Any messages for me - just post here. I've got it on my watchlist. I've got a link to the article on my user page with a 'help wanted' note against it, so someone else might pop in with something. It has happened before - I started an article about a Welsh duo called Bragod and someone else took over and got it up and running. Good luck.
