Obama and Alcoa
We could add tons of things about other US presidents, such as George W. Bush speaking at one of their company towns or Alcoa participating in one of Clinton's events. In none of these cases is the presidential activity highly relevant to this large international company; it's not as if these presidents were working closely with tiny family businesses.

PSD deletion
No, Ford Power Stroke engine is not being considered for deletion. Take a closer look at the deletion notice. Me, I am winding rapidly down and off of Wikipedia. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 22:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's the "Cleanup" template that's being considered for deletion; see here. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 23:07, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

February 2012
Your recent editing history at Fag shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Toddst1 (talk) 16:52, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Admins like you, have the potential to turn this site into garbage. Block me for my crime.  Asshole.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 16:58, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring, as you did at Fag. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Toddst1 (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at User talk:Dana60Cummins, you may be blocked from editing without further notice or have your block extended. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Toddst1 (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You have way too much power on this website. --Dana60Cummins (talk) 19:00, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree you appear to know infinitely more than me on the subject of your edit war. Toddst1 (talk) 21:18, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * However, I have unblocked you as I'll argue that your last edit to the article before blocking was extremely WP:Pointy, but one may argue not a strict revert (could be argued that it was as well). Toddst1 (talk) 21:25, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Right. Yep.  Ok.  And I caught the "opps, forgot to unblock you" thing.  What a joke.  I'm done with that page.  When admin can just come and clear out the obvious, that speaks volumes.  --Dana60Cummins (talk) 17:35, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

response to your message
do you mean we need to make separate pages for each engine? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Be5tneverre5t (talk • contribs) 22:39, 25 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I think: is misleading.  Because more 7.3 PSD engines were made than T444E commercial versions.  Same goes for the 6.0 and 6.4.  The PSD articles on the engines are bigger as well.  I don't think this is an emergency or anything, but being the lack of coverage on the article I figured you might have some input.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 03:24, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

OK, I see what you mean...
Yeah, i think that article is a little redundant, i mean the t444e IS the Power Stroke, i think that article should be deleted....or linked to the ford powerstroke page ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Be5tneverre5t (talk • contribs) 01:50, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Recent Changes on Ford Super Duty
I made the changes to Ford SD prior to your most recent change (I have not undone them). I have a question that perhaps you can answer. I understand that trucks are classified into Light Duty, Medium and Heavy Duty. But there is also the distinction between Light Trucks and Other. Thus Class 2 within the Light Duty is divided in two (2a and 2b).

What are trucks that are not Light called? Furthermore what if any relationship is there between the two overlapping classification systems? I'm out of my depth with trucks and you seemingly know at least as much (if not more).Sadowski (talk) 18:22, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Feel free to respond on my Talk page as I never erase discussions and enjoy having a record.

P.P.S. I have made some related comments on the List of Automotives Superlatives Talk page. I think there is a question as to what constitutes Commercial. That was the justification for the changes I made to the Ford SD page today. I appreciate any input you may have to offer.ve.


 * To be frank, I found your response interesting and detailed filled, but ultimately nonresponsive. Based on my own research it seems that the distinction betweeen "Light Duty" and "Light Truck" are thoroughly independent. One is EPA dependendent and the other is a subject of Commercial categorizations.


 * As I said, I still would appreciate your input at the Talk page for List of Automotive Superlatives. You clearly know more about trucks than myself. Sadowski (talk) 11:37, 15 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure you are correct about class four Fords. The Ford webpage lists 2012 F-450 pickup trucks for sale. And when you say chassis cab with a pickup bed added I take it that the pickup bed is aftermarket, right? That seems to be what the Ford webpage implies. (I left a similar response on the Automotive Superlatives Talk page.) Sadowski (talk) 18:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)


 * There are 2 F-450 trucks. Class 3 and class 4.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 04:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


 * You recently undid an edit of mine on the heaviest pickup. That data came straight from the Dodge Truck webpage. I think you are incorrect. Sadowski (talk) 17:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)


 * My numbers are off chassis cabs. (Aisin transmissions v. g56) The Aisin weights exactly 53 pounts more than the g56 manual transmission.  I don't have anything on the Orion.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 18:35, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

RE D-max IP relentless editor
Right now it looks OK, as far as I can see. If the anon returns to the page, go ahead and revert. I don't want to violate 3RR. Cresix (talk) 19:08, 29 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Right but we are over a dozen times now. The page needs protected.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 02:39, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Straight-eight
A shorter (V8) crankshaft (and block) is inherently stronger (sturdier). regards, Eddaido (talk) 01:13, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
