BMW 3 Series lead image
Hi Nim. Happy 2019 to you, I hope you have a good year. Regarding the article models that span multiple generations, personally I think it is preferable for the lead image to be of the current generation. For the BMW 3 Series article, I agree that the previous G20 image was not of suitable quality. Given that the G20 has only been released recently, there's no rush to find a find a replacement for the current F30 image. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 00:11, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
 * No, not really. WP:CARPIX specifies "...The image selected for an article's top (lead) infobox does not need to show any particular version or generation of the vehicle, such as the latest, the last, the first, the best-selling, or any other. However, the image must be representative; low-volume, obscure/unusual, or otherwise unrepresentative variants are generally not preferred for the lead infobox image. Vehicle production date is not a factor when determining the quality of an image and its suitability to illustrate the lead infobox. Regardless of the ages of the vehicle shown, pick a clear, high-quality image according to the image quality guidelines; one that clearly shows a vehicle relevant to the article without photoflash glare or other photographic faults, against a simple and contrasting background. Such an image is always to be preferred over a lower-quality image, such as one that shows photoflash glare or a distracting background." Thats why i did it, if it did not specify, then I'd do that :) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 00:56, 3 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Ahh, thanks for the information about WP:CARPIX. Sorry to see that you are thinking of retiring from Wikipedia. If you are not currently enjoying it, a break is probably a good thing. Your improvements to the photos here will be greatly missed. Either way, all the best. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 11:47, 3 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I just feel like my photos aren't valued. I'm going to be here on a part-time basis from March-October. I think with a topic ban coming up (see WP:ANI, I am not sure whether to contribute (I can't seem to find anything else worth to contribute). I won't be fully contributing to my extent. Also, suggested for me to have a break, so that the problems with users can be alleviated. Look, I know I may have gone too far in 2018, but wasn't happy at this time about the changes. I do apologise to Vauxford, Davey and Charles for how I was acting, but there are times when people need to contribute. Would you like to see my website when completed. You can have it :) -- Eurovision Nim (talk to me)(see my edits) 12:54, 3 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Nim, I mean no disrespect I think you're a great guy but could you please stop pinging me, I think it's great you're taking a break but I really don't need to be notified about it ...., I don't mind occasional car-image RFCs but talkpages are beginning to be OTT.

 * Hi Nim. Sorry to hear about the dispute you're currently involved in. Regardless of what happens there, it sounds like you're not really enjoying your time on wiki (I'm sure writing long posts about a touchy topic is far less enjoyable than doing photo work!), then a break is probably a good thing. Once things have calmed down, I'm sure there's a way you can make positive contributions without getting into fights with Vauxford. Yes, I would be keen to see your website. Please let me know when it is ready! Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 22:16, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Retirement
Hi all, i've announced, due to the proposed topic ban at WP:ANI, I've decided to cease all editing activity permanently. I think its because automobiles have been my thing in the past, but its better for everyone. Have a good one all, and I'll probably return to editing soon.

Retired?
Stop the nonsense Nim. If you are retired, then why is 202.58.170.123 doing exactly what you do all over the place? It's not like you have been blocked or anything, but you are definitely dancing close to a lot of lines.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  04:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid I agree with Mr.Choppers. This ain't "retirement": 120.188.65.92. Charles01 (talk) 14:36, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
