The lawsuits Generac took out against Caterpillar and lost in both the lower court and 7th District Court of Appeals are well-documented. You may refer to the Generac Corp. v. Caterpillar Inc., 172 F.3d 971, 978 (7th Cir. 1999).

This is material information - especially with Generac now being traded as a public company. Please refrain from removing this information from Wikipedia.

This information is included in the new paragraph; the wording is different.

I used to work for Generac and was involved in some of the detail work in the 1990's; perhaps we worked together at that time. Now that they are a publicly-traded company I think it's important potential investors know the real details about the Caterpillar relationship (generator supply ceased in 1998) and the very significant write-off CCMP has had to take. I will continue to insert these details to the Generac page because I believe these material facts are important.Gregsedits (talk) 23:05, 20 March 2010 (UTC)User:gregseditsReply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Generac XG 8000E.JPG edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Generac XG 8000E.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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.
