Talk:Hummer H3

Untitled

Many parts of this read like a sales pitch. Can someone working on this page please fix that?

Gilliland

The H3 started as a suggestion by a Carnegie Mellon University student H. Elwood Gilliland III, who said "make it smaller" -- Herbert was sick of the "Herbie" references (from the Disney movie) and wanted to help GM develop a new product after working in the GM Lab. His comments started at the Michigan office, where the Interaction Design team is housed. Mr. Gilliland is a pioneer of the field of Interaction Design, being the first scientific Interaction Designer (most Interaction Designers get B.A.s). His work can be viewed at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~heg -- his work also includes significant contributions to Sustainable Architecture and Environmental Activism. -—Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctor Octagon (talk • contribs)

Mr. Gilliland's resumes seems to change on a daily basis. He transforms from being a student to being an alum. From interviewing at GM's Michigan office to actually working there. Google's cached version of the resume is a bit different. Googling Herbert Elwood Gilliland III turns up Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Young_Zaphod. Kristan 02:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

He is an Alumnus, a scientist and an Interaction Design pioneer. If you want to reword the article, by all means User:Kmarkey -- call Carnegie Mellon for verification. Also, if you read Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Young_Zaphod it mentions "Herb Gilliland" because of an article involving Mr. Gilliland. Doctor Octagon 14:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter who he is if we have no reliable source saying that what you described actually happened. Which we don't. Nandesuka 15:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

The sock puppet page mentions "Herb Gilliland" because you've put your name into multiple different articles without any sources to back up your involvement with anything, and because of your pattern of doing so with a constant array of new identities that all seem to edit things with the same pattern and edit the same types of articles. --Atari2600tim (talk • contribs) 19:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Or so you think. You have no proof and there is no way to dispute it. How do we know you're not a sockpuppet? Doctor Octagon 22:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I placed a merge tag on this and the Hummer H3t articles, proposing that the latter be merged into this article. The H3t article is so short there seems little reason for it to exist on its own. It could very easily be fit into a subcategory here. Any thoughts? ---Charles 21:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I strongly support the merge. HummerGuy (talk · contribs) has been going through adding promotional links, evidently to drive traffic to a Dallas rental company. I'm reverting some of it, and anything that's not obvious spam, I agree should just be merged. --Elonka 20:48, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I second that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.236.140 (talk • contribs) 18:28, November 1, 2006

Merge it. --24.248.84.139 00:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

--Subunix 16:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)I say merge it, but the H3T you want to merge is a prototype, and the H3 is a current production vehicle

Leeharvey418 14:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC) There have been spy photographs captured of an upcoming production vehicle that is a pickup based on the GMT345/355 architecture, and that will actually be the production H3T. I think that the bigger question is whether we want to ultimately include this vehicle in the H3 article, in which case the H3T concept article should be merged into the existing H3 article. If we think that the production H3T deserves its own article, then that should be allowed to grow from the existing H3T article.

I have proposed another attempt to merge the two articles. There is not enough distinction with the H3T "pick up truck" version compared to the H3. CZmarlin (talk) 02:22, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Popular culture

There's a Hummer H3 in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Perhaps that could go in a "In popular culture" section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.77.48.162 (talk) 19:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Video game, film, TV, or music video appearances should not be added, unless they significantly contributed to the popularity/notability of the car. Most do not. See WP:WPACT. --Vossanova ^o< 15:12, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Production end

H3 production has ended in the US. (mentioned at http://www.autoweek.com/article/20100526/CARNEWS/100529825) Do we know if it is still being produced in South Africa or Russia, as the article suggests? --Vossanova ^o< 19:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Hummers are no longer being produced, anywhere. CZmarlin (talk) 02:18, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
