I read your changes on FSI. If you do a google search for fuel straight injection it does come up with this as the first result. Audi and volkswagen use the same engines in their cars. I put the fuel straight injection on there as my father who works for volkswagen told me that was wrong, and FSI stands for Fuel Staight Injection not Stratified.

Hello there, I noticed you are Uruguayan. Would you happen to be interested in joining the Uruguay Project? It's a project meant to expand and organize all Uruguay-related pages, and since we are a little short of people, we could certainly use your help. Wesborland 02:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
If you're changing HTML to Unicode that's a good thing. However, I think you might be using the wrong separator; see dash for the difference between an en-dash and an em-dash. In my browser, the dash you're using looks too big to be the en-dash. -- DeLarge 22:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Why did you replace the wording "large family car" with "compact executive car" in the Volvo Cars timeline? I didnt revert it because I want to hear your reason for doing so. -- Dahlis 23:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd appreciate your comment. I'm new on Wikipedia and I may not use standard techniques of edit pages. Next time I'll follow your advise. Bye, Gaemon
Alright, I started work on teh Civic article. I have somethings planned today, so my revamp will be off and on. If {{underconstruction}} is on the page, I am not able to continue my revamp at the time, and if {{inuse}} is on teh page, I am coninuing my revamp. Happy editing!

Please note that redirects are a feature, not a bug: Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. "In particular, there should never be a need to replace [[redirect]] with [[target|redirect]]." So [[SUV]] --> [[Sport utility vehicle|SUV]] is undesirable, especially on {{ Mercury Timeline}}, which has knock on effects on the cache and increases the server load by an order of magnitude (see High-risk templates#Rationale).

Please undo your multiple wikilinks to turbodiesel. By wikipedia standards, only the first use of a word in body text is to be linked. Thank you, Leonard G. 16:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what you did, and what was so awful about the template(let's no go there), but all I know is that after you made changes to this template, there's a visible seem on both sides of the "sports" category, and it wasn't there before. You should always preview your work before you edit and artiicle or especially a template. I want you to try to fix it, because I don't have time to sit around and read through the entire edit page to find your mistake. Bavaria 11:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Never mind, I fixed your problem, just try not to let it happen again. Bavaria 11:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
It's no big deal, it's just there were only the separators on either side of the sports cars and nowhere else. It just looked out of place. Bavaria 11:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I have actually typed a reply and managed to get it erased with a stupid click, so here I go again - excuse me for being a tad brief this time.
I went to the Spanish Wikipedia and saw the other Infobox arrangement, and I am afraid I am not that impressed - to me it is a bit too clumsy and hard to make out... I was actually thinking of having them put side by side in columns (within the infobox width) - field descriptions (height, width etc.) in the first row, then measurements, and perhaps an extra row for imperials. I am afraid I am not that well-versed in wikitables to offer you an example, but I hope you got what I mean. A second solution, which actually does not preclude the first, would be to have the specs part of the infobox collapsible (using the show/hide function and hidden by default).
As concerns engine data, I am afraid those do not work too well in prose - it provides for a rather boring paragraph where the actual data are hard to make out. Being tech data essentially, those are better presented in some form of a table or list - I guess it would be good to devise a neat standard for those, as I guess we have to include those in articles anyway and taking them out of the infobox would help shed its "weight". I'd put it up to discussion at the WikiProject, but I am afraid folks there are preoccupied by the absolutely most demanding topic of blanking out license plate numbers... PrinceGloria 15:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
The article is messed up there. Can you please make fixes in the infobox and add SI units, plus add it to the "Compact SUVs" category? -- Bull-Doser 21:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Can you please make infobox fixes on the Plymouth GTX page, please? Do not do the Cimarron. -- Bull-Doser 17:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Auto in:
{{auto in|(Dimension)|0}}
Auto mm:
{{auto mm|(Dimension)|0}}
As for converting imperial/metric dimensions, here's this new system you should use! Auto in/auto mm! You should start testing it on one of your edits. Like the Ford Escape Hybrid page is missing some metric dimensions. -- Bull-Doser 00:10, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:Modern North American Honda vehicles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Thanks. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 22:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Your comment on the VW Golf Plus may well be correct, afterall, it is based on the VW Golf, which is a C-segment car. However, moving the Golf Plus to the next higher classification would have a knock-on effect on the VW Touran, the VW Sharan and the VW Eurovan.
My logic would be to leave them as they are - the following basis: Golf Plus is a small 5-seater, the Touran is a mid-size 5- or 7-seater, and the Sharan (which is the same basic car as the Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra) and Eurovan are both large size 7-seater.
I think there is some slight confusion between the North American "minivan", vs the European "large MPV" - because different terminologies are used. The minivan tag originated in the US from van conversions, such as the VW Caravelle, whereas the European originated "MPV" were unique designs of 7-seater cars, which were not derived from any van.
All that said - where do we go from here? Kind regards -- Teutonic_Tamer ( talk to Teutonic_Tamer) 12:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Hola amigo editor. This is to inform you that I rv your good faith edit for two reasons: 1. As the lead says, in Europe E85 flex is important only in Swden, therefore, it is the only European country that deserves its own subsection, and 2. your edit involuntarily messed up with the article layout, leaving a blank hole in the middle. If you think this change is key, or have other reasons for separating the European countries, let's discuss it in the article's Talk page first, but anyway, if the change is to going ahead, please move the table, pics, etc to maintain a proper layout wihtout blank holes. I am now completing my research to clarify a few minor technical details (actual temps for cold start problems as they are different in the US and Brazil, and the fact that Brazilian E100 flex cars have problems running with E0, as sold in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay, so E20 is the minimum they accept except for two models, the Fiat Tetra and the Renault Cleo), and after some nitpicking on the writing, I will submit it for GA process, that's why I am so picky about the layout. See you around.-- 189.123.42.108 ( talk) 02:15, 2 October 2008 (UTC) Sorry, I forgot to log, I am user:Mariordo-- 189.123.42.108 ( talk) 02:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
, so I tried to change it to this:
Perhaps some of those sections can be merged or deleted, I don't care now. Both when I previewed and now when I check the old version, I don't find any hole in the article. So if you agree with my proposal of reordering the sections, you may try to fix that hole. Good luck! -- NaBUru38 ( talk) 02:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi NaBUru38, i see you want to propose a merger, to complete the proposal, the best templates are {{Mergefrom|Bivalent (engine)}} and {{mergeto|Bi-fuel vehicle}} ( i'm assuming that you want to merge the engine into the vehicle), and next start a section on the talkpage explaining your proposal so people understand why it should be merged so they can discuss it. Thanks , and there are also stationary bi-fuell engines, so maybe merging a section into the other article might be better. Cheers Mion ( talk) 05:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Just wondering... do you consider this a truck? Whlie i accept internationally it might be called a truck it's a pretty alien term for a racing series based on these. -- Falcadore ( talk) 21:07, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

For your work on sports categories. Severo T C 17:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC) |
Not as such, no. But I think there could still be problems that might crop up. It would need a very thorough usage document prepared, with cut-and-paste pro forma examples laid out for major series and detailed explanation of use. In addition, there is still the problem of jurisdiction. We'd definitely need to keep an eye on it from WP:Motorsport to prevent the whole template being disrupted too often, and perhaps a note to discuss changes prior to implementing them. If these points can be addressed then I would support the idea. Pyrop e 16:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm a little confused by your renaming of links on several articles. It sems to me that you're combining GT2 and GT3 into a "FIA GT European Championship" for 2010. Unless there's some brand new news on this that I've missed, there is no such thing. GT2 and GT3 will remain separate series in 2010, known as the FIA GT2 European Championship and the FIA GT3 European Championship, and will not run together on track, although they will almost definitely share race weekends. IIIVIX ( Talk) 21:25, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Please note that in most sports (eg. golf, football, cricket, rugby, badminton, field hockey, squash, curling etc etc etc) the governing bodies and organisation of the sports is along national lines (Eng, Wal, Scot, Ire/NI), and not UK lines.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 20:45, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering, is there any reason why you removed categories from a number of articles and replaced them with the non-existend Category:Motorcycle world racing series. Wouldn't Category:World motorcycle racing series have been the better choice, which, as it appears, is a category you yourself created a few days ago? Calistemon ( talk) 02:43, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
The article Theorycraft has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

The article Dirk Werner has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
