Sir Clive's oversight
Heh, regarding the lack of a much-needed reset button on the Speccy: its main competitor, the C64, didn't have one either, as you probably know. One is led to wonder if there was some secret masonic agreement between home computer makers and electronics repair shops... :-) --Wernher 23:17, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Re: Bio
Er, no I'm not that worried really. All the information on there is available elsewhere in the public domain and in order to properly steal my identity so that they won't get caught there are certain bits of info about me they would need that are not listed. I'm well aware of the risk, and actually the bigger risk is any of my clients from work seeing the page but I'm prepared for that too... -- Graham :) | Talk 16:53, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi :) You may want to list speedy delete candidates also at Speedy deletions. Thanks Dysprosia 10:26, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * Done well :) (I don't really like this Speedy deletions system, but it does sort of work). Dysprosia 11:12, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Re: PAG
I was intrigued to find out the real history behind Lincoln's departure from the PAG. If you have a general interest in cars, you are welcome to join WikiProject Automobiles. We always need more input and new ideas! Cheers. akaDruid 10:08, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

When writing articles about British/European Ford vehicles, you might want to mention pretty early on that you're talking Ford of Britain / Europe. With Ford being an multinational company and their habit of using the same names in different markets for different cars, it could get a little confusing. &mdash;Morven 14:24, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * Good point, I'll keep that in mind, thanks! --Pete Richardson 10:58, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Request for Review
Hello Peter,

A while back you expressed concerns about the article on Ashida Kim being libel because of being highly POV and one-sided. I've made some changes to the article to try to correct this, and I would appreciate if you'd review these and let me know what you think. Some notes on my work can be found on Talk:Ashida Kim. This is the first real editing I've done on Wikipedia, so I'd appreciate any feedback and recommendations for improvement.

Thanks,

Matthew Sweet
Hi, I noticed that this article seemed to be rather fawning of him, reading like a publicity text. I'm not sure if you wrote it yourself, or copied it from somewhere, but please try to remember NPOV -- that encyclopedia articles are not supposed to sound like they're written by a major fan or someone who dislikes the topic being discussed. I've edited that article for tone. --Improv 16:21, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Good point - as a fan it can be difficult to write non-pov! And yes, it was my own.. Thanks! --Pete Richardson 14:51, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikiproject Automobiles Notification
Hi Prichardson, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting   where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add   to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086Talk 04:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Ford EcoBoost engine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page A4 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:07, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
