welcome
Hi Tim, welcome. I saw your recent edits at Vauxhall XVR and just wanted to give you a friendly (genuinely) pointer or two: Best regards, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need anything else.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  17:56, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * if a reference is dead, you can replace it with a live one, but generally it is better to leave it in even if it is dead. What matters is that it was correct when it was originally added; we generally trust editors to have been truthful unless there is reason to believe otherwise.
 * Archived urls are often available for dead urls, you can see what I did at Vauxhall XVR and copy the syntax.
 * Please provide a source for the car's current location. I added a tag; once you have a reference you can remove the tag. WP's main concern isn't whether something is truthful - we provide a repository of already published information.
 * Nice job. I fleshed out the reference with the author's name, name of website, and some other details. Take care,  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  11:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I found the syntax quite difficult to learn for doing a proficient update. Perhaps i will be able to spend more time doing Wikipedia updates in the future, but maybe i need to be retired first! Tim cowlam (talk) 14:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
