NAIAS

Well, not this Saturday. It is traditional for me to go the last weekend, as that is when there are less crowds. I will be going twice, actually. Next week on a school field trip, and that Saturday. The field trip will be a very good opportunity for pictures, because there will be less crowds there. I think. I just got fresh batteries in my camera, so I'm ready!


BTW BD, thank you. I am so glad to get a comment on my talk page that isn't one of the GM Minivan vandals attacking me. Karrmann (talk) 20:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:QMLogo.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:QMLogo.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Better photo for Suzuki Swift+

Do you think you could snap a better pic of the Swift+. The only Photo in the commons shows a great angle of an Orange Swift+, but it has an accessory wind deflector just above the grill... which hurts the point of the image, since it is to distinquish the difference for instance from a Wave or Aveo... which occurs right at the grille. Thanks. 842U (talk) 13:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Date formats in citations

As per Template:Cite web and any other citation template, stop changing date formats on cites to non-ISO 8601 formats and stop wikilinking access dates in cites as you've done so in this and many other edits. Roguegeek (talk) 00:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Once again, please do not introduce any more incorrect date formats on citations as you have recently done so here once more. It might be a good idea to actually read how to use those citation tags correctly so that editors don't have to constantly fix the reoccurring errors you continually introduce. Roguegeek (talk) 08:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Acura TSX

I somehow had missed your edit to Acura TSX and reverted it. Unless you have any source that the TSX is NOT a predecessor to the Integra Sedan, it will stay like that. Thank you. Ryou-kun16 (talk) 19:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Chrysler Aspen Hybrid AfD

Hi, Bull-Doser. Thought you might want to add a comment to the AfD for Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. Also, I've warned User_talk:68DANNY2 for his inappropriate removal of the merge proposal template you applied. If you look at his talk page and contribs, you'll see we are dealing with a bit of an interesting character here. I suspect he will probably sooner than later wind up with some sort of a temporary block. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 22:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:QMLogo.JPG)

  Thanks for uploading Image:QMLogo.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I see you are a user located in Montréal, you may be interested in:Wikipedia:Meetup/Montreal. Add your name to the "Interested" or to the "Not interested" list. Time and place haven't been decided yet. Pro bug catcher (talkcontribs). 13:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Date is set for May 3rd 2008 and Buffet La Stanza is the proposed location. If you have another idea for the location; propose away!

Thank You.

Thank you for changing the tid bit in the FJ Cruiser article that said it was a 2 door. I was going to do so but couldn't think of a way to word it. LAZZO (talk) 17:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Go ahead and leave me a message if there are anymore problems with the FJ Cruiser article.

Mercury Mariner

It seems we are back in contacting you because of a very trivial revert war with you. Yes, although it is good to have a Hybrid image in the article, I don't understand why you insist on making it the head image, especially because it is of poor quality. The wipers are up, and the image is blurry. A FoMoCo promotional image is available freely for us to use, so I don't understand why you insist on using a poor rent parking lot shot instead. Karrmann (talk) 21:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

This probably wouldn't be a problem if you used images with proper copyright, Karrmann. The image you want to use fails fair use because it is a non-commercial CC license. You tagged it improperly and, perhaps, without knowing so. Images with this license are not allowed on Commons. I have flagged it for deletion. Roguegeek (talk) 00:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
The copyright had nothing to do with the revert. He reverted the image because it wasn't that of a particular model. Karrmann (talk) 20:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
But the copyright has everything to do with it belonging here or not in the first place. Roguegeek (talk) 20:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

  Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Kingdom Hearts, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — Blue 05:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Kia Sephia.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted.

MGM

Hello, I see that you made an edit to the MGM page and asked if it was a private company. Why do you think it is a private company? That just peaked my curiosity. Canyouhearmenow 11:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello! Are you interested in a serious Wikimeetup? --Creamy!Talk 01:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess so. Either meet me in Toronto, Montreal (where I live) or Ottawa. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 02:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I noticed you uploaded Image:'00-'02 Ford E-350 School Bus.JPG, as your own work with permission as: "All Rights Reserved", as well as in public domain. This is a contradiction. Public domain is "No rights reserved". If this is a mistake, please change it. Otherwise, the image should be deleted from Wikipedia as it is replaceable. Thanks.

Speedy deletion of Fagget

 

A tag has been placed on Fagget requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Dadude3320 01:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Geo Metro and Pontiac Firefly

Note, there are discussion pages for these articles, where merging them with the Cultus article was considered and done. This conforms with WPA guidelines. Note that the Cultus article has subsections on the Geo Metro and the Pontiac Firefly.

I will merge these back to the way they were before today. Please discuss and gain consensus before seperating out the Firefly and Metro again. 842U (talk) 19:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Your last edit to this page was not minor. Please do not mark it as such in future. Also, it removed information for no reason I can see, so I had to revert it. --DeLarge (talk) 08:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Moving of "More than a Feeling"

I noticed you moved the "More than a Feeling" article to "More Than a Feeling". I have since moved it back, as both WP:MUSTARD and WP:CAPS specifically state that prepositions (and conjunctions) under five letters should not be capitalized in song titles. "Than" can be both a preposition and a conjunction (see its merriam-webster.com definition.) Thanks for your understanding, Xnux the Echidna 01:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

The Beatles infobox

See the discussion at [1] which indicates that if a group lineup was stable during the years the group was famous and are universally known by that lineup, then they can be listed in the "current members" section of the band infobox template. Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Move Kia Mohave/Borrego back to Kia Borrego?

Hi there, I have been working offsite on an update to this page. However, I think it makes sense to move the page back to being simply "Kia Borrego." I understand Mohave is the Korean name, but surely other Kia vehicles have alternate names there? So, I am inclined to move it back in the interests of consistency and referring to the vehicle as it is referred to in English-language markets. Let me know if you have any objections. NMS Bill (talk) 19:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

NMS Bill, you should request this move from an admin since only they have privileges to change it back. The current naming convention is completely inconsistent with just about every automobile article out there and Bull-Doser, the self-proclaimed best automobile editor, knows this. It shouldn't have been moved in the first place. roguegeek (talk·cont) 22:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

{{convert}}

Can you please start using the proper {{convert}} tag instead of the inaccurate {{auto in}} tags? Use {{convert}} anytime you need to do a measurement so we don't have to clean up the messes you introduce. roguegeek (talk·cont) 02:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Images

Hi Bull-Doser, I've noticed that most of the photos you upload on the Commons have the date of file generation watermarked on the bottom right-hand corner. Since this watermarking looks pretty bad, would you be able to disable that feature on your camera. This information is redundant because the information is already stored in the photo's metadata. For example, if you go to this image and scroll to the page bottom under "Metadata", you will see that the date "01:25, 5 June 2008" in the "Date and time of data generation" field matches the date directly on the image. Regards OSX (talkcontributions) 05:20, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Mitsubishi Pajero (#2)

Your latest edits to Mitsubishi Pajero have been reverted. They (a) contained several grammatical errors, (b) gave precedence to non-metric units in the convert template, even though the correct, metric-first style was already being used, (c) switched from mm to cm for no reason I'm aware of, and (d) removed many existing wikilinks to other articles for no obvious reason. --DeLarge (talk) 08:30, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Addendum: I notice that at User talk:Bull-Doser#Mitsubishi Pajero above, almost exactly one year ago I asked you not to switch around metric and non-metric units. Yet here you are again, on exactly the same article, doing the same thing. Do you have any reason for this continued systematic disruption? Is it a deliberate attempt at fighting metricization? If you want to add the {{convert}} template, all you need to do is add the existing metric values already on the page. --DeLarge (talk) 08:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you happen to notice that in your recent editing work on the Suzuki Cultus article, it is now formatted such that large empty spaces show up on the page. Do you want to go back and fix that? 842U (talk) 14:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Mitsubishi Challenger

Your edits have been summarily reverted, for the same reasons as Mitsubishi Pajero (see above). --DeLarge (talk) 13:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did to Oldsmobile 442, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you can't be bothered to ensure that you're using an image of the correct generation (or even the correct car), stop adding them. This is unacceptable and we aren't going to tolerate your newest method of being disruptive. --Sable232 (talk) 16:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

 

This is your last warning.
The next time you deliberately introduce incorrect information into a page, as you did to Pontiac Grand Prix, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Sable232 (talk) 02:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Recent image additions

For the past couple months I've noticed you inserting images of the wrong year or model into articles, most recently here. Others include this (wrong decade), this (wrong decade), this (wrong model of car and wrong decade), and this (wrong year). What's the deal? As far as I know this hasn't been an issue before. It is not all that difficult to find a collector car sales website and simply match the details of the car you photographed to the correct year. Otherwise, maybe you need to request assistance in identifying the cars before you put the images somewhere. Please take note of this. --Sable232 (talk) 19:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I want to second this. Although I appreciate your enthusiasm to contribute to Wikipedia, you MUST research your sources before making edits. The vast majority of your contributions have been resoundingly inaccurate. roguegeek (talk·cont) 10:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I saw that you're still linking dates. I figured you would see where I reverted your edit a while back, but I guess not. Per MOS:Dates, we're not linking dates anymore.--Flash176 (talk) 05:48, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Archiving assistance

Hi Bull-Doser, I saw the archive request on your page. Is it alright if I set up an archivebot? Then that will automatically archive inactive threads every so often, and you won't have to worry about it anymore.  :) --Elonka 03:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. - Bull-Doser (talk) 03:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Done. I went ahead and manually archived the threads from 2007, and set up the bot to check for anything that has had no activity for 60 days. I'm not sure when the next pulse is, but it should kick in within the next 24 hours or so. If you would like it to archive faster than 60 days (or slower), let me know and I'll tweak it for you.  :) --Elonka 05:23, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

5th-gen Camaro

What is wrong with you? Why do you continually introduce inaccurate information and upload copyrighted images? The 5th-gen production Camaro has been shown at SEVERAL car shows in the US already at did not debut in Paris. If you can not check sources before you add info, I suggest you do not edit on Wikipedia at all. roguegeek (talk·cont) 03:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Is there any response to this or can I just assume you will continue to introduce incorrect information? roguegeek (talk·cont) 21:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

1st-gen Camaro pics

Bull-Doser, I have removed all images you added into the First-generation Chevrolet Camaro article for several reasons. Most are due to the inaccurate years in which you claim the vehicles are. Others are due to the vehicles being heavily customized. Then there's the poor quality issue as well. As per Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Images, I will immediately remove any image of a vehicle that do not meet quality standards, are improperly tagged, or are of a vehicle with any customization on it. roguegeek (talk·cont) 17:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Date format in cite tag

How many times have editors told you to stop changing the date formats within cite tags? I've lost count. Yet, even with everyone telling you otherwise and pointing you to the template where the documentation specifically reads:

in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, for example "accessdate = 2008-10-17"

...you still decide to make edits like this. Why do you continue to ignore proper template usage? roguegeek (talk·cont) 16:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Important!

Bull-Doser, I know you have a tendency to simply ignore or not respond to most of the requests made on your talk page, but I would highly recommend you join this conversation that is currently taking place. It would definitely benefit all parties involved. roguegeek (talk·cont) 23:26, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Valentine (restaurant)

Please be more careful when creating articles and redirects. Your creation of the above article and subsequent redirect of the older Valentine (Restaurant) page has wrecked the page history, meaning the article is no longer in compliance with the GFDL. --DeLarge (talk) 17:35, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, what ↑ he ↑ said. Please stop making pointless and counterproductive edits. Where you see [[V8]], it's a link to the correct page. Please stop changing it into <nowiki>[[V8 engine|V8]]; it is one of the behaviours that is getting you talked about and will likely eventually wind you up with restrictions on your ability to edit, so it'll be best if you'll make the grownup decision to edit coöperatively from here on in, thanks. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 03:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Your continued disruptive editing after repeated requests to stop is becoming tiring. I have no problem with requesting to have sanctions placed upon you if this continues. --Sable232 (talk) 22:20, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Led Zeppelin Radio

Led Zeppelin Radio is on Channel 12, not 33. Please read the press release at [2]. It will stay on Channel 12 til at least December 31st. MegX (talk) 02:39, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

If you intend ignoring this information, I intend marking the edits as vandalism. MegX (talk) 02:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
You are using out of date information. The link you added then deleted is referring to last years channel changes, not this year. The channel changes you listed occured before November 2008. MegX (talk) 02:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Did you check the Sirius site? Also, the changes of The Pulse moving to ch. 12 is from this year. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 03:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
The site is out-of-date. The channel listing published was before November 1st. Nowhere in the link you provided does it say it was changed on November 12. MegX (talk) 03:14, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, where's your proof? There is nothing listed in the media that channel changed over on November 12, no official announcement from Sirius either. The press release states that Led Zeppelin Radio is on Channel 12 til December 31st 2008 [3]. MegX (talk) 03:37, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Check a local Best Buy or other electronics store and tune to the Sirius tuner if ch. 12 lists The Pulse. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 03:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I've sent an email to Sirius to confirm or deny what is on Channel 12. MegX (talk) 03:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
I was at Best Buy today and The Pulse was on ch. 12 and Led Zeppelin Radio was on ch. 33. The tuner listed The Bridge, but played Led Zeppelin music instead, and was still Led Zeppelin Radio. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 00:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

endash vs hyphen

Please do not demove the endash per this edit, unless it is being improperly used. The relevant sections of the Wikipedia:Manual of Style read as follows:

Mitsubishi Endeavor

Per your edit summary for this diff, that is the very definition of original research and a violation of one of Wikipedia's core policies. Everything you add to Wikipedia, and I mean everything, should be capable of being sourced to a reliable third party. Something somebody "told you" is irrelevant, regardless of whether or not it is true. It would be great if you took some time to familiarize yourself with the Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines page, as someone who has been editing as long as you has absolutely no excuse for not following them. The courtesy we extend to newcomers who are unfamiliar with these conventions is not something we should have to extend to you, and your constant flouting of these rules leads to editors wasting their time reverting additions you should never have made in the first place. --DeLarge (talk) 09:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Mitsubishi PS platform, Mitsubishi 380

And again, where are your sources for the edits you made to the above articles? Like I said only yesterday in the above section about the Endeavor, contributions should be based on citing third party sources, not inserting commentary about what you know (or think you know). I've edited and/or reverted your additions, and until you learn to start following Wikipedia guidelines a little more closely, I will continue to do so.

It would also be appreciated, by myself and other editors who've requested it in the past, if you could occasionally respond to comments on these pages, if for no other reason than to acknowledge you've read them. Editing Wikipedia is a consensual process. --DeLarge (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Class of Tucson

These your edits are wrong.[4][5][6]

  • Tucson (Compact) = Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage (yes, hyundai undercut the price than CR-V, but it is a same class)
Evidence
  1. Competitors of CR-V, the Official Honda Web Site
  2. Similar Vehicles of Tucson , the Official Hyundai Web Site
Check it out. It is a CR-V class
  • Santa Fe (Mid Size) = Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Kia Sorento
  • Veracruz (Luxury) = Lexus RX (without luxury badge), Kia Mohave
Check Engine displacement and exterior size of Lexus RX and Veracruz. AND, Verazruz size is identically similar with Lexus RX. See this photo 660gd4qo (talk) 02:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Wrong. Santa Fe is basically a Venza/Edge/Murano fighter. Veracruz is the Highlander/Pilot/Flex competitor. Veracruz is closer in size & price to the Honda Pilot, and more mainstream over the luxury Lexus RX (whose competitors are Infiniti FX, Volvo XC90 & Cadillac SRX). -- Bull-Doser (talk) 03:34, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
No. That is your subjective opnion. Check Euro Ncap classification.
Hyundai Tucson = Honda CR-V = Toyta RAV4 ; Same Class[7]
Hyundai Santafe & Kia Sorento = Nissan Pathfinder. Hyundai Santafe & Kia Sorento are cleary out of CR-V class.[8]
I prove by very trusted references (Honda, Hyundai official websites, Euro Ncap classification... and i can find more. eg. EPA class), but what is your evidence? 660gd4qo (talk) 03:39, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
  1. SantaFe is not same class with RAV4 & CR-V.
  2. Tucson is a same class with RAV4 & CR-V.
  3. Veracruz is not a highlander class. It is a essentially Lexus RX class without luxury badge. (size, engine displacement, luxury features...) even their looks are same.[9]660gd4qo (talk) 03:58, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Veracruz in North America is priced less over Pilot, Traverse, Flex, CX-9, etc. Pathfinder is a 4Runner/Explorer/Grand Cherokee/H3 competitor. Santa Fe is a competitor to Edge, Venza, Murano, Outback, Endeavor, etc. The Dodge Journey, which is priced less over a Veracruz, is longer than a Hyundai Veracruz. I live in Canada, and we've got mostly U.S.-spec vehicles. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 04:05, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
I know Hyundai undercut the price than their competitors. According to price range, maybe your claim is right. But, Actually thery are not same class. Hyundai sonata is same class with Toyota Camry, Honda Accord. But, its price similar with Honda Civic, Toyota corolla. But, it is hard to say, Hyundai sonata is same class with civic & corolla. I point out acutual competitor. not price competiotor.

My reference based on...

  1. EPA, Euro NCAP Classification
  2. Official website of manufacturers
  3. Exterior Size, Interior Volume, Features, Engine displacement
  4. Ignore badge, price 660gd4qo (talk) 04:14, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Sonata is classified as a large car by the EPA, and sized more like the midsize Volkswagen Passat, even though Camry & Altima are an inch longer, and Accord is 5 inches longer than Passat & Sonata. -- Bull-Doser (talk) 04:16, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

2010 models/fueleconomy.gov

"According to Fueleconomy.gov, there's a '10 Solstice."

Fueleconomy.gov is not a reliable source of what actually makes it to market. GM may have tested a '10 model with EPA at one point, but reality obviously changed rapidly for Pontiac and Saturn this summer. Likewise, GM's 2010 Fleet PDF is outdated and shows 2010 models which have since been cancelled. The only reliable sources of a '10 model are a press release by the company with price, and its existence in dealer inventories. --Vossanova o< 15:32, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Canwest reorganization

I've reverted a couple of your changes which seem to suggest that Canwest's TV operations are up for sale.

Meadows Frisky

Hi Bull-Dozer

I've reverted your edits to the infobox in the above article because they duplicate information already provided in the article or more clearly shown in the table at the foot of the page. Ultimately it would be better to have an individual page for each version of the car which could have a more detailed infobox, in the same way as its done on Ford Mustang and First-generation_Ford_Mustang for example, but trying to cover every variation in asingle infobox brings it close to the Ponte Vecchio example cited on this page Wikipedia:Disinfoboxes. Regards Mighty Antar (talk) 14:58, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for discussing your changes on the talk page in a rational and sensible manner. The idea behind wikipedia is actually to improve the thing. Something you might be able to do better if you used common sense and discussed things rather than making blanket statements "Infoboxes are the correct place for dimensions & engine info." may be correct where you are talking about a single car, but not in this instance.Mighty Antar (talk) 19:43, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bull-Dozer

Suzuki Jimny

Hello, I appreciate some of the work you did on the Suzuki Jimny page but have some serious reservations:

Replacing 359 cc with 21.9 cu in (0.4 L) is not an improvement. The Jimny/Samurai/etc etc have been sold all over the world, with only a comparably limited presence in the United States. They have only ever been marketed in SI terms, with all model names reflecting the engine size in ccs/litres - Jimny 55, LJ80, SJ413 and so on. Most engine options were never even offered stateside in the first place, I believe only the 1,324 cc (0.0468 cu ft) engine was ever officially sold here. Additionally, with such small displacement engines the difference between for instance a 543 and a 539 cc engine will not even show if they're both displayed as 0.5L. This has been discussed any number of times, and please also visit the WikiProject Automobiles Conventions page, in particular Wikipedia:AUN#Displacement.

I frankly don't see a need to include CIs on the Jimny page at all: Engines of such small displacement are rarely referred to in terms of cube inches, compare with motorcycles for instance. In any case, the Jimny is not a pre-1980 US car nor a pre-1974 Australian car.

Also, why remove all of the Japanese text from the page and replace it with question marks? Even if it may not show up in some people's browsers, it may still be useful to some. Again, I am glad for all the other edits (removing links to years and such), I will try to make that available again. Best,  ⊂ Mr.choppers ⊃  (talk) 21:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lexus MC

 

The article Lexus MC has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page is based on pure speculation from 2006+ that has yet to eventuate. Google brings up nothing relevant on the subject of "Lexus MC" and the alternative "Lexus JX" name is only based on speculation. No reliable sources can confirm the existence of this car.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:Old Radio Margaritaville.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 04:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Old Luxury Car edits

I appreciate your enthusiasm but please be careful in your photographic edits.

1) I love the 1961 Lincoln Continental image you replaced the previous one with. It's a substantial improvement over the one with the man walking in front.

2) The image you inserted into the Coupe de Ville page was not of an image of a 1965-70 Coupe de Ville El Clasico. It was a 1971 or 1972 Eldorado El Clasico convertible. 1971-76 Eldorados belong with 1971-1976 Eldorados. (And there are no "convertible Coupe de Villes" only "de Ville convertibles." There are significant defects with the de Ville pages and I'm about to remedy some of them.)

3) I've done a lot of work on the Imperial page and most of the images there have been very carefully selected by me. The fuzzy akilter image you inserted of a 1966 Imperial front end works at cross purposes with the text I wrote. Significant changes occurred to the rear end in 1966 and that is therefore a distinctive one year only appearance.

So I've undone two of the three changes you made (at least that I've noticed so far). Please don't view this as an "edit war". As I said before I very much love one of the changes you made. If you dig up any other high quality images that fit in with the text I'll gladly leave them alone. But keep in mind these are meant to be encyclopedic entries and the images are frequently there on purpose to connect with the text, so please be careful.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo (F07). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Srobak (talk) 14:52, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Please ignore the warnings above. There's never anything wrong with creating a plausible redirect to an existing article. Nyttend (talk) 15:59, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

MGB photo

Could you check your file description at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%2775_MG_MGB_(Orange_Julep).jpg? I left some comments on discussion as I believe it is not a 1975 as described. CompRhetoric (talk) 14:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Help to date a photo

I noticed that you may be an expert on old automobiles. May I ask for your assistance to date an old photo? The date on this photo is vague, it only said "191?" on the site I got it from, so that would mean it dates back to the decade of the 1910's. I believe the automobiles pictured may be later models and would not fit a 1910's dating. What do you think? (I am interested in the photo of the bridge itself, the automobiles would help me date the photo.) Thank you for any opinions you may offer.

Pics

Hi You're doing good job snapping pics of classic cars, but Please stop putting Your pictures everywhere and replace perfectly fine with irrelevant ones, disregarding context (just because You want Yours to be exposed?). For instance just recently You've put picture of Eldorado (You marked it as de Ville but it's Eldo actually) into Coupe de Ville article, and now You've deleted gallery with body styles in Mustang article and put some picture of nose which is pointless as current pictures are there in purpose - to show the differences in bodies and it doesn't matter that mach 1 has own article at that point, because it's there to show body style not the trim.

If You'd like to do something good however, You could replace picture of 1971-1973 Mustang convertible with original one as in currently featured car owner changed grille to the one from mach 1, but convertible was never offered in this trim.

Valiant images

Bull-Doser, you're in Canada, which explains how you're able to get nice pics of Canadian cars. Please keep contributing good quality images like these, but please take care to mind the differences between Canadian- and US-model cars, particularly pre-1967, and name, caption, and apply the images appropriately. Would you mind please double-checking and fixing the file names, categories, and (as applicable) captions on your photos of pre-1967 North American vehicles to make sure they're accurate? Thanks. In Plymouth Valiant, I've moved this image of the turquoise '64 Canadian Valiant convertible to the relevant section of the article. It is clearly a Canadian model; take a look at the rear quarter panels and the "VALIANT" nose badge. That also means it is not a Plymouth; Valiants were not sold as such in Canada until 1967. Likewise, this image of the '63 Signet, while it is of good quality, might not be the most appropriate one for the infobox. It shows a Canadian 1963 Valiant Signet—again, very obvious by the quarter panels and rear side glass shape, and again, not a Plymouth. Same deal again with this image. —Scheinwerfermann T·C20:11, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

And again

Bull-Doser, it is not acceptable for you to refuse to engage in discussion of your contributions, particularly ones that have been called out as problematic. I have removed your latest improperly-placed image of an improperly-identified car in Plymouth Valiant. I know you are capable of understanding the simple problem. —Scheinwerfermann T·C22:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011

  Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Dodge Dart and Dodge Aspen. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bull-Doser, much as I hate to issue a warning like this to an experienced editor such as yourself, you refuse to engage with ordinary attempts at discussion and so I have no choice. You need to stop making changes to model succession information based only on what you think you know. I have just finished cleaning up the mess you made of the succession info in Dodge Dart and Dodge Aspen, now must go and see what other articles you've damaged. You will never find a reliable source to support your bizarre claim that the Diplomat replaced the Dart, that the Aspen didn't replace the Dart, or that the Challenger and Barracuda were succeeded by the Aspen/Volaré. It is clear you do not have the knowledge you think you have in this area, so please just stop now and take a few moments to remember that WP:V and WP:CITE apply to you just as to all other editors. Do not make changes based on guesses or assumptions. Just stop! —Scheinwerfermann T·C08:19, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

WZFT / WWMX / WIAD

Hi! WIAD and WWMX, while sister stations, are in different markets. The fact that the two markets, Baltimore and Washington, share many of the signals does not mean that the stations are operated as the same cluster (which is what your reasoning[10] seems to claim). Mediabase classifies both WIAD and WWMX as Hot ACs. The musical direction of WWMX should not be included in an article about WZFT as a basis for any adjustment by Clear Channel to 104.3 without being sourced. The reason that CC flipped Channel 104.3 to Z104.3 was to bring CHR to Baltimore and beat CBS to the punch, as it had been rumored within the radio industry that CBS may have been looking at WWMX as the next "Amp" or "Now" brand. The adjustments to the music on WWMX came after Z104.3 was launched. --Strikerforce (talk) 05:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Excellent Change in Photos but Wrong Generation

Let me congratulate you on finding a lovely photo of a stock 1947 Oldsmobile 98 as well as a good photo of a 1949 Oldsmobile 98. I had inserted a custom car photo in the 1948-53 section hoping that a better one would come along. You found one.

But the photo you inserted in the infobox for the 1948-1953s was actually a 1947. But it was better than the 1947 photo I had put in the info box previously so I moved your's there.

In short your photo additions are greatly desired. But I have to spend time moving them around so things are more correct.

May I make a suggestion? For one who is so interested in old American cars, why not purchase the Standard Catalog of American Cars (Krause piblications in three volumes)? I love your image additions but I hate spending the time correcting what I consider are silly mistakes. And I may not be around forever to correct your mistakes. Someone will have to carry on. Let it be you.

CKPK-FM

The Peak's own website features Florence and the Machine in the banner, and artists like The Black Keys, Adele, Mumford and Sons, Mother Mother, Ray Lamontagne, The Decemberists, The National, Jack Johnson, Broken Bells and Arcade Fire in its current Top 30 chart. That bears absolutely no relation whatsoever to what gets played on modern rock stations in 2011; it's an adult album alternative playlist through and through. Leave the article alone, please; this isn't the first time I've pointed out to you that the station's playlist has absolutely nothing "modern rock" about it.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:3rd Gen Civic Sedan.jpg

 

A tag has been placed on File:3rd Gen Civic Sedan.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this:   which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Toyota Sequoia

I've noticed that you've undid my edits to Toyota Sequoia. I understand that all engines are V8s and that they are built in the US. But when I put (US), I meant that the car is a US model. Are all Sequoias US models? 161.130.178.7 (talk) 00:30, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Grand Prix picture

Good morning!

I noticed your addition to the Grand Prix page, the picture of the gold Grand Prix at Les chauds vendredis.

I didn't think Pontiac made any more full size Grand Prix vehicles after 1968? I may be wrong and way too American-centric in my thinking, and please correct me if I am, but I believe what you have there is a 1970 Bonneville.

Here are two pictures to compare: http://files.americar.de/trade_images/2008/08/b1b94fac6e263296a0b1276c1c82b386.jpg is a 1970 Bonneville

http://www.pontiacserver.com/70gp_blk.jpg is a 1970 Grand Prix.

Two completely different vehicles. Unless there was a special Grand Prix model made for Canada? I'm an old Pontiac fan (all my parents ever bought in the 1960s and early '70s) and I don't remember a special model.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, --Manway 14:28, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
