Guidance
I would like to ask for some guidance. I am trying to add three diffirent articles to Wiki about various New Zealand makes. They have been disallowed by an editor and I don't think the editor is correct. If you are able, can you take a look and provide me with your feedback please.

They are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Reid_Steam_Car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Countess_Mouldings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Alternative_Cars_Limited_(New_Zealand)

Also on the ever controversial "Fastest production car" entry. The Ferrari F40 is given a higher top speed the the Lamborghini Diablo - should the Diablo be on the list? NealeFamily (talk) 19:16, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance, I've entered into debate with the reviewer over the merits of the Alternative Cars article, lodged a question in the forum for more information on the Countess Moulding Countach's, and I'm going to rewrite the Reid Steam Car article as a biography - as Reid was significant in a New Zealand context. There is a published biography on a NZ government website that will prove useful. NealeFamily (talk) 07:51, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 8
Hi. When you recently edited Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bertone (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Re: Undo of my edits of the "List of fastest production cars" page...
I added three cars to the list (Countach LP400, Diablo, and EB110 GT) and provided citations for all three to support their top speed. All three citations referenced tests made by reputable car magazines: Motor, Road and Track, and Ruoteclassiche (a division of Quattroruote). I provided links to the specific magazine article where possible, and referenced the exact issue when not possible. This seems to be the standard citation procedure for other cars included in the list. For instance, The Miura citation links to an Autozine article that itself cites Motor magazine (The same type of citation that I used for the EB110) and the 300SL citation references a specific issue of Road and Track magazine but does not provide a link to the article (as I did for the Diablo).

You "undid" my edits and reverted the page to the previous format, saying "needs proper soucre for mention these are world fastests carsm the top speed is not enough."

Can you please be more specific about why the sources that I cited are inadequate? As I documented above, my citation standards are on par with those supporting the other cars listed in the page...

Jvshenderson (talk) 16:34, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

See my post on the talk page for the article. I agree with user 93.183.236.73 that it is not necessary (and in most cases not possible) to find a source that calls the car "the fastest" but only to find an independent source that measures the top speed. Even so, it seems arbitrary that you would remove my contributions without removing the other cars in the list that do not link to a source stating that the car was the fastest at the time. Jvshenderson (talk) 17:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I did read the entire talk page, and quite frankly there are more supporters for my point of view regarding citations that for yours. I agree with the need for verifiable encyclopedic content, but I strongly agree with user 93.183.236.73 when he says "for some of the cars you may never find a credible source explicitly stating that the car is the fastest in the world. Up until 80's this was very rarely claimed by reviewers." and later "I'm well aware of the conceptual problems associated with this particular subject. But unless this thread is entirely removed, it can only be as good as this." and still later says "You can not remove any of these entries without removing all the entries before them. This would break the consistency of the table. Let me explain. If you remove DB4, E-type and Grifo, the table will suggest that 300SL, with the top speed of 140 mph was the fastest production road car up until the Miura introduction. But this is known to be incorrect as we have a proof that there were a faster cars in the 1955-1966 period. And the currently present citations do prove this unambiguously. So to avoid any confusion we'd have to start this table with 288GTO".


 * Not to mention my own issues with the requirement: "A source stating that "The Grifo was considered the fastest production car one could buy in 1966" is not meaningful because there could have been faster cars that preceeded it but were no longer for sale in 1966, and because it depends on the specific source's definition of "production car.""


 * I am going to reinstate my edit from yesterday because I believe that the sources I cited are reputable, and it is important to have a more complete table. Please do not remove my additions until there is a clear consensus on the talk page regarding citation standards for the page. Jvshenderson (talk) 17:43, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Question
About this edit. I'm not a very technical person when it comes to cars so i'm unsure how to clarify that. The measurements aren't American as this car isn't sold there. I'm pretty sure they're imperial measurements. Does that help? Thanks ツ Je no va  20  (email) 15:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Template:Automobile classification
Not too sure what your complaint is with my edits of the template... Perhaps your comment is aimed at some of the previous edits? Warren (talk) 23:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Template bug
I remember you understand conversion templates. You may remember I don't. I came across one that translates square feet into acres and uses continental European dividers for the acres, even in English language articles.

6,135,630 sqft

The English and Americans would write both numbers using commas as dividers, thus:

6,135,630 140,855

Is this something you are able to correct please? (Or is this problem something on my own computer?)  And thank you. Regards Charles01 (talk) 13:51, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Daimler Fifteen and Daimler New Fifteen
Thanks for making the necessary adjustments following the change in the info box template. Something seems to have gone wrong on Daimler Fifteen.

I notice you have also changed some references on Daimler New Fifteen. They were to printed material available in good public libraries and you have changed them to a website which only sells images of them which is by its nature (the website I mean) a very temporary thing. Do you think that is wise? Regards, Eddaido (talk) 05:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry we have misunderstandings. Daimler Fifteen is in a muddle following your edit. New Fifteen: The references were to a printed source not to a web source. You have changed them to a web source, those "for sale" ads will die sooner or later and the source you have put in will no longer exist. The source I had put in will remain in libraries for a long time. Geddit? Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 05:24, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Re: Alfa article changes
Why pointless? The infoboxes I edited were far from the standard style and they did not have a similar look to those that you suggested. On the other hand, once a text is between brackets, I think there is no need for italic writing too. BaboneCar (talk) 16:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)


 * You say there was nothing wrong, but they used bulleted lists for engines, paragraph breaks instead of line breaks and unnecessary bold formatting for transmissions, all of which are not seen in any car article infobox on Wikipedia. So while this is exactly what I try, to "make the articles have similar look", I see no point in your message. I rather expected you to notice these rarities and correct them, as you have also previously done changes to these articles. BaboneCar (talk) 16:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't ask you to fix the changes I made. And I don't think you should revert my edits, because the infoboxes I edited are now pretty much in accordance with the conventions you mentioned, while the previous versions are not. The fact that there are different styles is not an argument for not following conventions. If I'll fix the other generations too it's up to me. However, if you wanted to be more convincing about it, my opinion is that you should adopt a friendlier tone. BaboneCar (talk) 17:28, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Volvo 200 Series
Thank you for updating the table I contributed to the article Volvo 200 Series. It has been many years, but I noticed the difference right away.

I see there was an intermediate edit which narrowed the padding but also prevented the 1980 244/245 DL model information from rendering within the appropriate cell--it was an easy fix.

I imagine your overhaul to wikitable format was a bit more involved--rest assured it is a real improvement and it looks terrific.

It doesn't matter if the article titles are being changed. That is a navigation template for the Lada brand, not for the VAZ models. The model names you added are VAZ model names and not the Lada model names used in export markets, so they don't fit in a Lada timeline. BaboneCar (talk) 13:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Besides the fact that you still don't understand my explanation, the WikiProject conventions also seem to contradict what you claim.

Alfa Romeo Arna
I'm confused by your edit on the Alfa Romeo Arna. You keep undoing the link to Nissan Motor Company, prefering a piped link to Nissan via the text "Nissan Jidōsha K.K.". You may not have noticed, but Nissan redirects to Nissan Motor Car, so perhaps you agree that Nissan was part of the joint venture, but I do not understand the need for "Nissan Jidōsha K.K.." Any reason why you can't accept the Nissan Motor Company in the lead? Here's a newspaper report for info. Warren (talk) 16:42, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * the Nissan Jidōsha K.K.. is the actual name of the Nissan company, its not invented by me but cant find the source at the moment. Whats wrong with that name? its even written in Nissan page. -- >Typ932 T&middot;C 18:19, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * As this is the English WP, what's wrong with a direct link to the Nissan WP article? Makes sense for English readers, and if they want to know more about Nissan, then as you say they can find out on the Nissan page. They even call themselves Nissan Motor Co. on their own website, so it seems a little pedantic to force the "Nissan Jidōsha K.K.." name, especially as the piped wikilink you keep changing is a redirect back to Nissan Motor Company...

Replaceable fair use File:1974 4porte 800x600 1 G.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:1974 4porte 800x600 1 G.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Speedy deletion nomination of Auto Italia


A tag has been placed on Auto Italia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A.L.F.A 15-20 HP, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sedan and Displacement. 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.

Alfa Romeo Giulia (952)
Due to your incessant reverts and/or unjustifiably instigating an edit war, see and comment only in WikiProjects Automobile without reverting the article further please. Asserting a right to edit the article and compromise it because it does not meet your preference is not productive, to say the least. CtrlXctrlV (talk) 12:51, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Alfa Romeo Giulia (952) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

Alfa Romeo MiTo
Hello, Please note that Category:2000s automobiles (see that page) is the parent cat of Category:Cars introduced in 2008. My edit summary made clear why the cat was removed. Items should be placed in the most specific category which is then nested within the parent. Please see WP:SUBCAT for more information. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 20:39, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

It does not matter that some car articles have been mis-categorised. Many car articles are in fact correctly placed in just the intro. year cat. It is WP:POINTY to refer to mistakes in other articles to justify your own opinion. It is quite clear that Cars introduced in year XXXX is a subcategory of the appropriate decade category (XXXX automobiles). Items are always placed in the most specific category per WP:SUBCAT as mentioned above. It is one of the first things I can recall being mentioned to me some years ago on starting editing. Please feel free to raise at the project page if you don't understand how the categorisation system works. Eagleash (talk) 05:57, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Funny? Are you being deliberately obtuse? It is completely wrong to say that all car articles are categorised in the way you suggest. It is something I look at some of the time if I read a car article. A goodly proportion are correctly categorised but some have both the year and decade categories (incorrect). As you say, it is quite simple; items should not be placed in both the subcat and parent cat. This is quite clear at WP:SUBCAT. If you have difficulty with this please feel free to raise it at WT:CAT or at the automobiles project talk page. Eagleash (talk) 07:44, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

This will also be my last comment: Yes the page Category:2000s automobiles says "Automobiles that were produced in the 2000s — from 2000 to 2009". BUT further down the page you will see listed out the sub-categories. Category:Cars introduced in 2008 is quite clearly listed as a subcat. Therefore, car articles listed in that category are not listed additionally in the parent category per WP:SUBCAT. By being in the subcat it becomes 'nested' in the parent cat. I would have thought you were an editor of long-enough standing and experience to understand the relationship between sub and parent cats. Eagleash (talk) 10:11, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

More chit-chat
One more thing: you may not care much for "rm chit-chat" as an edit summary, though I am glad to see it's taking on, but it's a lot more expressive than the automated summary generated by rollback and by Twinkle. And while I'm on that topic, this and this are unexplained, automated reverts of content edits that were obviously not vandalism--that's rollback abuse. See Rollback. I'm not going to yank your chain anymore, but this (along with OR and WP:RS) is something you need to think about. You are of course free to use rollback in your own user space, to roll this back. Drmies (talk) 18:16, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ur edits looks like vandalism, when removing important content with edit explanation "chit chat", that central statue is important thing in Goodwood history, more important than that nonsense time list of hill climb -- >Typ932 T&middot;C 18:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know why you're writing in two places. No, my edits do not look like vandalism--at least not to someone who knows what they're doing. "Central statue"? I have no idea what you're talking about: the word "statue" doesn't even occur in the article. And I also don't know what you mean with "nonsense time list of hill climb"; I certainly did not put that in there. Why are you arguing this with me? Go edit the damn article properly, and remove what is unimportant, improperly verified, promotional, trivial, whatever. If you get your head on straight and look at the history you will see that I was only there because someone with a promotional user name was there. I blocked them. Then I removed chit-chat--meaningless chatter about some featured brand, full of pretty pictures and without a single proper reference. Again, "important thing in Goodwood history" means nothing without proper sourcing. This may be about cars, but it's still in an encyclopedia. Drmies (talk) 18:24, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Because not everybody follows others talk pages, you certainly have no idea what is important and whats not, there was over 20 cite references, thats not maybe enough for you, Ill still suggest you use article talk page before making such big removes with that bad explanations. >Typ932 T&middot;C 18:36, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
