I noticed you removed a link to "caliberforumz". The site has been repeatedly spammed on Wikipedia, and the editor doing so has been blocked. If you encounter it in any articles, please go ahead and remove it. Thanks (and welcome to Wikipedia!) --Ckatzchatspy 22:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SRT-4

[edit]

I posted this to the SRT-4 talk page as well. I haven't seen anything back from you about it: The greater majority of articles on wikipedia which pertain to the cars do not discuss owner or magazine power numbers. They list the manufacturers specifications for the car. If there is a perceived discrepancy they say something about there being a perceived discrepancy. The "15% drivetrain loss" you speak of is not a rule. There is no industry agreed upon standard for calculating power loss through a drivetrain, and there are reasons for this. Because there is no agreed upon rule here, it is dubious to use it. Just post the factory power numbers and say something like "real world performance and several independent performance measures would indicate power to be higher than specified by the manufacturer". Without further citation, you don't have hard numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burdickjp (talkcontribs) 16:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please bring the issues to the talk page, you and Whalelover Frost are engaged in a slow edit war which is not going to work. I will post a message to him as well, but if you want my opinion, his version is better, your version is too absolute for what really is a muddy issue. --Leivick (talk) 20:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry if we ended up in an edit war - that wasn't my intention. I tried to bring this up in the talk page a while ago, but you never responded, and just changed it back to your version. I think Daniel's compromise might be a good one - if we take out the weasel world "significant", as that is a subjective claim. How about:

"Several independent tests have produced results indicating that the SRT-4 produces more horsepower than the manufacturer claims."

Does that work for you? I know if I change the page to that, you'll just change it back. But I think that it would work well for both of us. I'm working on improving this page as well - I'm getting my Master's, and it's the last few weeks of school, so I don't have a lot of time to contribute right now.

Mizzou-Nebraska

[edit]

I've replied to your posting on Talk:Missouri–Nebraska football rivalry. Thanks! Grey Wanderer (talk) 20:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you have time, please read Wikipedia:Verifiability. I think it will help address some of your concerns. As it currently stands both the Colorado and Missouri articles would easily survive a afd. Grey Wanderer (talk) 20:25, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dodge Neon SRT-4, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tuner (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Nurburgring Lap Times

[edit]

Good afternoon. Please modify your tone when talking to me, or refrain from posting on my talk page. Edit summaries such as " If you do not understand how rules work at Wikipedia, do not make changes" and comments on my talk page such as "It is likely you are confused about this" are condescending and unlikely to result in constructive discussions. Thanks and have a nice day. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:35, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Production car definition

[edit]

Thanks for alerting me. If you take a look at Talk:Production car speed record#Proposed new wording for consideration you will find a current discussion about the definition. For a full understanding of how that point was reached you will need to read from Talk:Production car speed record#Agera RS onwards. Essentially it comes down to there being no reliable source for the definition of how many units need to be produced to make a car a production car. This is to enable a list of the Production car speed record from post WW2 to exist in any meaningful way, while still remaining in sync with Wikipedia's rules governing articles. Its been a bit like dancing on a pin-head. Please feel free to join in the discussion. My view is the definition as currently proposed gets us as close as we can, but I am open to suggestions.

Editing

[edit]

I don't know enough about car companies and all that to know if he is right or wrong, but I suggest that the best course of action for you to take is for you to file a request about his/her behavior at AN/I . His/her edits appear legit from my research and some of them haven't been reverted (not that's to say that makes his/her edits legit per say). JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 02:47, 28 July 2018 (UTC) [reply]

FYI, I can't block him and I won't report him/her because his/her edits seem correct. You may be right,so AN/I is the way to go. JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 02:49, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I filed an AN/I report for you. If the IP is at fault he/she will be dealt with if not, the admins and editors will come up with a timely, fair solution.JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 03:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents about an incident you may have been involved in. JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 03:58, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If he's going overboard, please go to AN/I. Obviously he isn't open to discussion.JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 04:34, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've responded, he appears to perhaps think he's doing legitimate changes, some of his edits are in fact decent, but some he is deciding without discussion are not good. Thank you for your help, I hope he comes and discusses this.RTShadow (talk) 05:39, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
