Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Hello, I'm
Dennis Bratland. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you.
I noticed some personal attacks against User:SamBlob in your previous edit summaries, like this that you repeated a half dozen times. Later, it appeared you two were making good progress in resolving your disputes. But now you are mocking his suggestion at the Automobiles project talk page with this. Please stop. Keep your comments on topic and civil. Thank you. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 06:22, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry for the cryptic edit summary. Usually we stick to using succession boxes for offices that are occupied by multiple people over time, rather than ranks held by one person. So things like the colonelcies of regiments, governorships, commanderships-in-chief of certain theatres, and so forth get them, while promotion through the ranks (brigadier on this date, major-general on that) are left to the prose, since the person doesn't really have a predecessor and successor in those ranks. It looked like you'd covered the dates of commissions in the prose above. Also, you don't need to end and begin a new box with each new heading; they can all go in one structure. Usually we just put years in the boxes, else they tend to get large and sprawling; dates can also go in the prose. There is a wikiproject for this, but it hasn't been very active of late. Best, Choess ( talk) 14:48, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Re this edit with the edit summary "repositioned parliament box but is it a duplicate?", every New Zealand MP article has a parlbox, and the convention is that they go into the section that discusses the political career. As such, it is not a duplicate to a succession box. Good on you for using proper edit summaries! Schwede 66 23:45, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I have replaced your inclusion of the Tiger Moth, but I have changed "innovative" to "notable", as the notability of the Tiger Moth is more readily apparent than its supposed innovation.
I have also edited the sentence so that the reader will be clear that the first jetliner was the Comet, as your version introduces confusion as to whether the first jetliner was the Comet or the Tiger Moth.
Is this enough to prevent your promised "WAR"?
Sincerely, SamBlob ( talk) 10:58, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Following this good-faith collaborative edit by User:SamBlob, which corrected inaccurate content and made a perfectly reasonable addition to the lead of the de Havilland article, you removed the addition and attacked Samblob with this edit summary.
Next, when he reworded specifically to try to appease you, you undid his revision, reverted to your "own" version, and again wrote an attacking edsum [28].
You were blocked after a string of attacking edit summaries directed at this editor. When you came off the block you attacked him again. And now, yet again. This pattern of bullying, intimidatory behaviour is unacceptable. You can either stop repeating the behaviour or continue and be blocked indefinitely. Writegeist ( talk) 14:53, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the work you have put into developing the Siemens Brothers article. ( A. Carty ( talk) 20:34, 8 May 2014 (UTC))
Congratulations on re-opening this and related cans of worms. I applaud your "rewrite the darned thing! We will ALWYS trip over ourselves if we keep up the Yankification of Wikipedia - same words have different terms in different parts of the world". Though startled by the quite remarkable lapse of the succeeding editor. Mind you I'm not sure your re-write was correct but then neither is what you were re-writing. I look forward to a "re-development" of the little article this time using reliable references. Best wishes to you, Eddaido ( talk) 01:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello Addaido,
Thanks for getting in touch.
With regards to your question I'm afraid I cannot agree with this. The facts are that Lyons and Harriman agreed to merge the two companies and stated this at the press conference and in subsequent written comments. What a journalist may have interpreted from the announcement - or if some other companies have used the term 'merge' for other reasons - is not relevant to what was actually agreed and took place.
Kind regards,

My eye was caught by this line in the Humber entry:
I didn't hang around long enough to figure out if it came from you or someone else, but right now I think you probably have better (at least better practiced) access to relevant sources than I do. The only car plant I know about in Speke was the Triumph plant where they made the Triumph TR7 and other assorted .... um .... cars, but (1) I don't think it was set up till many years after the Second World War and (2) Triumph is nothing to do with Humber. Whoever entered that line may well know something I don't know - almost certainly does - but do you mind checking that line, please? More generally thanks for giving the Humber entry a clearer structure. Regards Charles01 ( talk) 12:18, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
I wonder if you'd mind finding a moment to tell me what this is, please? Sorry to be idle, but I figured you might be able to do it more easily and more reliably than I.
I was in two minds about uploading it. It's not a good colour for seeing the door lines, panel gaps and other stuff. On the other hand, it's more or less in focus, and I guess it MIGHT be unusual...
Anyhow, thanks if you will have any thoughts to share on this. Best wishes. Charles01 ( talk) 10:54, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Eddaido, Thanks for your work on the Karrier page. With regard to the newspaper reference, the original edit just said 'the newspaper' and the only mention I could see was to The Times so it looked like a block quote. (Even though I thought it probably wasn't — & I used the phrase as a 'generic' description). If it is not, I was wondering why it was put into a field/parameter of its own, also including the Cob picture, which ends up rather unconventionally placed in my view. Is there any reason why the text should not be written 'normally' and the image placed say to the left &/or at the end of the text. Thanks. Regards, Eagleash ( talk) 12:35, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
( edit conflict) That's what I read on the Commons file. Licensing is a horrible mystery to me still, so I generally only use images I've taken and uploaded, to Commons, myself. So if you say it's OK to use that pic. if so decided, that's fine by me... I've just had another look at the Sunbeam (car company) article. It doesn't mention trolleybuses until Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq go bust in the 1930s, when it says car production at the original Wolverhampton factory stopped but trolleybus production continued and Karrier trolleybus prod. was moved there by 1939. It goes on to say that there was some badge engineering of trolleybuses also, (particularly during WWII). I found I couldn't enlarge the pics to check on the badge or branding on the front. As I read it, Sunbeam made trolleybuses before the takeover by Rootes — and Karrier also; both then separate companies. After the mergers the trolleybus production was rationalised over a period of time and could be branded as either Karrier or Sunbeam...or is it me that's got it wrong (usually is!).
I would think the 'Cob' image can stay as it is for a day or 2, till the replacement is agreed. Oh! I wanted to ask you also about the car class (large car, exec., etc.) field in automobile infoboxes. I've seen a couple of articles I watch where it's been removed after an IP inserted it. The field still exists in the infobox template so was wondering if it had been recently deprecated or something...agreed it's not a great deal of use and a bit POV... Regards, Eagleash ( talk) 23:57, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Well I got into the newsstand site without a problem, and initially just searched for 'Commer'. The first result yielded the info that Ecurie Ecosse used a Commer transporter when winning Le Mans in 1956 with the D-Type Jaaaaag. It didn't say what model Commer otherwise I'd probably already have it in the (Commer) article! :) I shall look at the Times in a moment. Croydon probably think you're a terrorist or something.

It seems car bodies were very much a sideline or maybe even a misunderstanding by Bonhams. Anyhow, I've thrown various factoids (and maybe the odd quasi-factoid) at the page and now it's a complete mess. Were you minded to apply a fresh set of eyes, step back, take a deep breath, and apply a more coherent structure..... that would be a friendly act. Though maybe now we know he was a specialist manufacturer of prefabricated timber buildings during the war including housings for searchlights scanning the East Anglian skies for enemy aircraft, and his range included chicken housing during the 1950s when "we" were all encouraged to keep a few hens in the garden because of egg (and other proteinous stuff) rationing .... hell, I don't know. He CERTAINLY did trailers, so he's not completely divorced from the world of things on wheels. I think there are tales to tell there, but I'm not quite sure what or where or in which order. Hence the request for a fresh pair of eyes. I need to organise myself some lunch. Best Charles01 ( talk) 10:30, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

After all our good work on the Karrier etc. stuff, (sorry!) I thought that Clough, Smith might deserve a page. If Tilling-Stevens have one, and Straker-Squire; feel they do. Anyways, I have created a draft here. It's not that good really, but I was wondering if you could have a quick look at it before I move it into mainspace, see if you have any observations... I know I'll have to correct the title when it's moved. Thanks. (If you're too busy, or whatever....no problem). Regards, Eagleash ( talk) 22:40, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I saw you are a major contributor for Hooper coachbuilders. I was wondering, did the company create any cars after 1959? This Silver Spirit coupe is credited as being a Hooper car. Maybe that's a typo? Any ideas?

In answer to your question...they're great pics but probably don't belong in the Karrier article as the the relevance is a bit tenuous (IMO). Perhaps one could be kept just to demonstrate the point, and others go in the Chrysler UK article (if such a thing exists). I would think there's a fair chance of someone bobbing up and just deleting them as not pertinent, but given the way of Wiki that may take some time...:) Regards, Eagleash ( talk) 08:41, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for your message. I don't know much about this topic, and I understand the edit may have included more up to date information, but it didn't appear to me to meet the standard of verifiability as it was unsourced content replacing sourced content and in addition was added by a COI editor. (Or, for example in the infobox, the membership number was changed but the same source given, which means the source did not say what the article was then claiming it did). I hope that makes sense, let me know if not. If you have sources that confirm the new content, please do update the page, thanks. Melcous ( talk) 00:10, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

There isn't any confusion. "Standard" is a descriptor, an adjective. It is capitalized when it is the 1st word in a sentence, caption, or Infobox entry. Nowhere is it implied that "Standard" is the name of an Bentley S model, like the modifier "Continental".

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to
Adolphe Clément-Bayard. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up
Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see
WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg
.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption
. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Hey! Do you remember the discussion at 'Automobiles' regarding manufacturers. I.e. do we say Rootes (or British Leyland or whatever the parent Co. is/was) or the marque name. As I recall the parent Co. was decided upon, I.e.

Good morning, (assuming you see this on Monday 15th).

Hi 842U, thinking about MG T-types is there such a thing as an other than two door sports car, coupé, two seater (roadster?)? I'd like to know because all those Midgets seem to need to have 2-door in their infoboxes. Roadster is a US term only recently accepted in UK. Yes there were sort of sporting cars called Roadster for export to USA sorry US. One fun thing was the discovery that some poor person thought OTS for a 2-seater Jaguar was a US term and inscribed it as such in the XK articles. Should the MG articles be marked British English and British nomenclature be adopted throughout? What do you think? Cheers, Eddaido ( talk) 13:10, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Edaido, I am frankly offended by your attitude. I am happy that I was finally able to convince you that the Silver Dawn came first with a small boot as well. Why exactly you deleted the second reference, which is not "redundant" but has a lot of additional information on the body styles? And is there are particular reason why a Rippon Estate Car or a MK VI Mulliner Sport Sedan, a body that was mentioned in Nutlands book as "never suprpassed", should not be in the gallery?

I have no particular objection to changing the name of this article. It did start out as an article about the actual Office Building, but the content seems to be primarily about the company. You might consider splitting the article into two articles: one about the company (most of the current article) and one about the building (containing the last two sections, plus a brief contextual history), but that's hardly necessary.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on

collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Hi Eddaido. Could you please me more specific about what the problem is with: A landaulet — also known as landaulette — is a horse-drawn carriage or car where a fixed roof covers the driver, but the rear passengers sit under a retractable roof. Since World War II, landaulets have mainly been used by public figures in formal processions.? Cheers, 1292simon ( talk) 06:57, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
PS That is of course unless there is something I don't understand and that is Always possible
It can't be said that the driver is never covered: The dictionary link supplied says it can be open or closed. And nearly every picture on the page has a roof over the driver. So the definition perhaps should be (something like) 'A vehicle where the rear seats can be covered by a folding or retractable roof, but the remainder of the vehicle may be either open or closed' ...edit at will.

Your recent editing history at Emily Langton Massingberd 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 are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Honestly, I'm not sure what you're getting at with your edit summary at Daimler Straight-Eight engines. How does this particular use of an honorific not qualify as a general usage? It's not an article about Jam Sahib discussing his titles, it's just a tangential mention in a caption that appears to be in Wikipedia's own voice, meaning inclusion of the honorific is a violation of neutral point of view and it should be removed per the Manual of Style. If the title is in a quote, that's one thing, but it does not appear to be the case here. What's your reasoning, if you don't mind? PohranicniStraze ( talk) 01:21, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

@ Eddaido:Thanks for your edits and I am happy you found that photo of the carriage. By drumming I mean a construction method for the roof rather than the sound it makes. The closest I could find for a reference you can see is when I google
"james young" car roof patent drum
The first book that comes up is the 1951 issue of the "The Flying Lady"
There is a good description on page 722 that reads "at the London Motor Show, a James Young car had introduced a new roof construction which, in order to eliminate drumming, employed light wire in place of wood or metal. ... The patent was eventually sold to the Volkswagen organisation."

I have called twice, his guardianess (as in lioness) almost burst into tears the second time saying "We've been closed here for three months, we have three months work to catch up on, leave us alone." Hmmm. I do actually have his personal domestic email address from some years back but I'm reluctant to use it.

Hi there - i do a lot of work on Sydney ferry articles - historic boats, rarely the contemporary ones. I've come across a few photos of Kirribilli (1900 to 1934) in Sydney and put them on Commons. In two photos, there is another boat...the same boat i think. It might be the Cobar which I am just learning was built in Sydney in 1903 but went to Wellington. Do you think this is Cobar in either or both of these photos? My source for the first photo labels it "Cobar", but there is no name for the second.

Hello Eddaido, can you explain to me how including SI units is unhelpful when it is required by the Wikipedia Manual of Style? The Manual of Style states the following: Unit choice and order Quantities are typically expressed using an appropriate "primary unit", displayed first, followed, when appropriate, by a conversion in parentheses e.g. 200 kilometres (120 mi). For details on when and how to provide a conversion, see the section § Unit conversions. The choice of primary units depends on the circumstances, and should respect the principle of "strong national ties", where applicable: Avi8tor ( talk) 09:58, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Mack Anthem to infobox, I have nothing. It's a new truck. LF or? Grill is spotting feature, maybe that crass chromium thing? They also have real ones, maybe typical? Please no "roo-bars", pink, or cammo. Commons:Mack
Mack LR to infobox. This isn't bad, it's optional. LR is name-change after 2015, before that it was TerraPro LE. No spotting feature to tell them apart. RF with the door open? Standing RHD is important. Clear cab? Any body type, it just could use a sure LR. Commons:Mack COE and/or Commons:Garbage.
Anthem is just plain embarrassing. Sometime if you have a chance? Thank you, later. Sammy D III ( talk) 21:08, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
I've set out my rationale for the deletions on Talk:Nuffield_Mechanizations_and_Aero GraemeLeggett ( talk) 12:10, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Are you still reading the "xtra" stuff (y/n)? It'll keep going on indef. Best. Sammy D III ( talk) 10:42, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
You uploaded a picture of a 'Roseneath Gardens' sign to the pae for Roseneath but somebody took it down for copyright reasons. Do you know who took the photo, or where the sign might be so somebody could take another photo? I thought it was a great addition to the page, and it would be good to get it back with copyright sorted out. Wainuiomartian ( talk) 05:23, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Roi-des-Belges. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Both you and Qwirkle have been warring over this page for some time. Please do not edit the article any further without discussing at the talk page. — HTGS ( talk) 04:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Do not remove "citation needed" tags without either providing a citation or providing a good reason why a citation isn't needed. Your first edit summary of "no" meant nothing, and it's out of line to expect someone to explain on the article talk page why a "citation needed" tag should be placed on uncited material. -- Sable232 ( talk) 21:51, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm afraid this edit summary doesn't really make any sense, but in any case please discuss it in the article talk page. St Anselm ( talk) 03:59, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
I would appreciate you voting either for or against my proposal re the above at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles.
Thank You. GTHO ( talk) 02:42, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Probably the best, some blog, some edu database, and today. Sammy D III ( talk) 11:36, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
You are obviously not aware that you cannot accuse another editor of being a sockpuppet. It's regarded as a violation of WP:CIVIL, one of WP's policies. There is only one accepted way of dealing with suspected socks and that is outlined at WP:HSOCK; the only route open to you is to file a sockpuppet investigation. Making these allegations on talk pages is viewed as a personal attack and that's a serious issue. I have removed the attack from the relevant talk page and deleted the revisions that showed it. The correct action for you at this point is to issue an apology to the user you have accused, and that user's talk page, or right here, or where the attack occurred, would all be appropriate. Of course, a subsequent step open to you is to open a sockpuppet investigation and if you think that you have the required evidence, you should most definitely do that. But it's a subsequent step; the apology needs to come first as you were out of step with WP policy. Schwede 66 04:10, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Then I apologise to you. Eddaido ( talk) 04:21, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

188.246.69.231 ( talk · contribs) Is rapidly changing car articles. Often "sports car" to/from "grand tourer" w/o citations. Often at a rate of one per minute. Obviously well-researched! Cheers Adakiko ( talk) 04:31, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
