I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 09:28, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
The logo has an adequate FUR and the images are all appropriately licensed.
- I have no concerns about the prose, which is clear and direct. However, I'm concerned about comprehensiveness. This is a famous car company, with multiple book-length sources that cover its history, but the corporate history from 1905 to 1937 is told in only 500 words. Surely there is much more that could be said?
That's my only complaint. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:23, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Mike Christie: Thank you for taking the time to review! I hear what you're saying about the shortness of the history section. As car companies go, it really wasn't around long (realistically, about 20 production years, though officially it existed for about 25 years in its original run) so there is limited encyclopedic history on its original form. There is some information about famous figures like Al Capone liking the cars but that didn't feel encyclopedic to me, more like random trivia. As for the book length sources, the tricky part with those is many of them are just coffee table picture books, but I will do some more digging and see if I can find a history book that I can cite to add more content! Thanks again for taking a look! M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 14:20, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Let me know what you've had a chance to dig out more sources and I'll revisit. In the meantime I'll post a note at WT:CAR asking if anyone is aware of more sources. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:22, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Passing. No response at WT:CAR so I'll take it on faith that this is comprehensive. If you do find more sources, that would be great. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:13, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks Mike! I'll work on finding some more soon. It's been a busy time but hopefully next week I can do some more digging. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 15:09, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
