Signature^brendel

This is my new Signature! Signature^brendel 06:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like it! I do have a question about how you managed to post this nice signature each time you sign. Surely you don't write all of the code out each time? Nhprman 07:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And of course, I just did three seconds of research and discovered on my own that the "nickname" line in My Preferences does this just fine. Thanks! I'll be working on a nicer one, like yours. User:Nhprman ^UserLists 07:23, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm glad you like my new signature. Thanks. Signature^brendel 07:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lincoln Town Car

You are plainly a major Town Car fan! The number of edits you have put into the article is phenomenal. Your infoboxes are particularly good. Thanks for all your efforts. RivGuySC 03:48, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I sure am a Town Car fan. Thank you, I really apreciate it! Signature^brendel 04:36, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Brendel, I am simply overwhelmed by the barnstar that you awarded to me. Thanks so very, very much! Stu

Another Thanks!

For another barnstar! My first one. :-) RivGuySC 04:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I didn't know which page to do that on. Bok269 15:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rücklichter

Thanks for the heads-up. The relevant section in the consolidated Automotive lighting article was woefully deficient, wasn't it! I have transferred the relevant info from your stub, together with regulatory information, into a newly-expanded section in the main article, and redirected Taillight and Taillamp thereto. I did not copy in your info on combined functions or the red/amber rear turn signal issue, because those are already extensively covered in the main article.

Hi

I am writing to inform you, and many others, that an AfD in which you voted delete, List of automobiles that were commercial failures, was already unsucessfully nominated a short time ago, but under a different title. This was not noted in the nomination. Please read the opposing arguments here, and reconsider your vote, because it is important that the opinions of previous voters be considered. Thanks! AdamBiswanger1 23:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you I am aware of the perceeding AfD-as you can see I did not vote but rather requested comment in regards to the article being OR and POV. Thank you for notifying me though! Best Regards, Signature^brendel 23:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apple Pie Award

gerdbrendal is quite busy attacking japanese cars

he has not done anything to remove POV from german cars like S-class and BMW, but runs down articles on LS, IS, ES with virulant deception. His hidden agenda is to show japanese articles in quite ordinary/poor light. Well established facts such as the engineering solidity, refinement and technological advancement of lexus has been termed as POV and immediately deleted by him. His relentless attack shows the deception, fraud, trickery and the cunning with which he is active on wikipedia. Samstayton 23:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I just wanted to say that perhaps I was overly sensitive concerning the Luxury Cars Task Force. Indeed, if the task force would consist of people intending to cut down on POV, it could do very much valuable work cleaning up and developing articles and setting standards pertaining to this type of cars. The hidden agenda behind those Task Forces is to finally get people to review all the articles we have and concentrate efforts - sometimes, there is something really large to do, like a bunch of articles interconnected, and if everybody's just doing thier stuff, this can never be finished. So, I proposed a scheme that I hoped would catch all articles we have, or at least the majority (funny how nobody complained yet that Saab and Volvo were left out). A Luxury Cars Task Force has one flaw - the borders of this project would be pretty fluid, and also if the divide went that way, it might be hard to find people for, e.g. Small Family Car Task Force...

I am getting tired and rumble without sense - what I mean is go on and propose the TF if you have a good idea for outlining the scope. What we need now is to get ANY Task Force up and running to show how it may work, we'll worry later about overlapping scopes and blank areas.

Now something more important - the Design and Marketing Task Force. This goes quite against my original idea, as you can't actually assign a specific group of articles to it, or rather all articles would fall under it! Moreover, the issues you mentioned are actually one of the basics when editing any article, if I understand you correctly, so more or less we are all in this TF anyway (esp. given that it encompasses ALL our articles). Perhaps you just wanted to propose some more specific standards and conventions, so why not do that outright without a "Task Force"? We need to work on standards and conventions anyway, I am just too tired to do a good write-up on that at the moment?

Bottom line - please rethink this Task Force.

Regards, Bravada, talk - 19:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, now I see the lexical problem... I used the name Task Forces aping the other WikiProject, but actually those are "Interest Groups" and tasks are something quite different - ALL TFs should have adding info on design/marketing and removing POV as their tasks. I think we need to work general guidelines for auto articles (perhaps bei Gelegenheit of developing the Assessment Scheme) that would include all that info. Would you be willing to try to start compiling them? Bravada, talk - 20:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well du'h. Yes, those should be taks of any TF-sorry about that, I get it now. I think working "bei Gelegenheit" is perhaps the best way-let's see how thinks come along. Start compelling-well I'm still trying to compell people to review some of my articles and put their disucssions in the right place on the US project- a lot of things at one time-so I'll see what I can do.
