Welcome, CGameProgrammer!

Hello Jasper Denney Welcome to Wikipedia! As nobody has welcomed you yet, I thought it only polite to do so myself. I just wanted to let you know that the article Definition of hybrid vehicle is the wrong place for that. Instead you should place the text in a user sub-page/sandbox. As a courtesy I have included the text of that article below. Here are a few useful links:

  How to write a great article

  Fun stuff...
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ~~~~; this automatically adds your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

This is a placeholder created out of desperation since the Hybrid vehicle article's discussion was clogged with arguments on what constitutes a hybrid, and particularly on what a series hybrid is.

HowStuffWorks.com states simply, "Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or indirectly provide propulsion power is a hybrid."

Possible original sources of power include:

  • Fuel
    • Gasoline
    • Diesel
    • Hydrogen
  • Electricity
    • Solar power
    • Regenerative braking
    • Plug-in charging

Most people, including HowStuffWorks.com, are of the opinion that traditional diesel-electric locomotives are hybrids. But arguably their power comes solely from one source: diesel fuel. It's used to spin a generator to feed electricity to electric motors that propel the locomotive. The question is whether or not the generator or electric motors constitute a power source.

Definition of hybrid vehicle

I created the titular article as a repository for all the comments on Hybrid vehicle that degenerated into arguments on what one was. The comment page was huge for that article, and despite being a Wikinewbie, I thought it best to move it elsewhere. Thoughts? CGameProgrammer 02:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, sometimes editors lose sight of the original purpose of Wikipedia. The best place for he text however is either on the Hybrid vehicle talkpage or on a user subpage. You can create a subpage for your userspace by editing the userpage -> [1] and then typing in the following -> [[/Hybrid vehicle]]. Save your userpage and you should have a redlink which you should click. It opens a blank page to which you can post the above material and then save the page. It will be linked directly to your userpage. Green Giant 02:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know... Me, him, and some other people have been through a similar edit war over the Controversy section concerning this one Star Trek: Enterprise storyline called the Temporal Cold War. If this unfortunately keeps up (his name is Yaron, I think..), I guess it may prove worthy enough a mention in Lamest edit wars. DrWho42 21:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the problem, then, is with (one of) you. I've never been in such an edit war before; I've never even seen one like this. Every other TV show I've looked up has been written very professionally. I will not stop removing the bullshit from the Weird Science article. CGameProgrammer 22:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for the last one, User:MikeJ9919 had to RfC it since Yaron would not move from his position.. That did the trick in keeping Yaron's comments about "sophistication" gone.. DrWho42 23:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I noticed. I'm sure we'll have to do that again for WS. CGameProgrammer 23:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To merge the article of Honda Civic hybrid into Honda Civic

[edit]

Hi. I just noticed from the discussion page of Honda Civic Hybrid that you had participated in previous discussion of merging the article of Civic hybrid into that of Civic. Currently, there's a renewed similar discussion here. Please feel free to drop a line. ---North wiki (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
