Disambiguation link notification for March 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Covini Engineering, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page I5 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Volkswagen Karmann Ghia into Volkswagen Type 3. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:38, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

more citations needed tags

I've always thought they were very lazy tags. If you see a statement that needs a cite then tag it with cn. As it is I shall add one ref to each article so tagged and delete the tag Cheers Greglocock (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi comma man

There is no specific need for commas for four-digit numbers:

Grouping with commas
Left of the decimal point, five or more digits are grouped into threes separated by commas (e.g. 12,200, 255,200 km, 8,274,527th, 1⁄86,400).
Numbers with exactly four digits left of the decimal point may optionally be grouped (either 1,250 or 1250), provided that this is consistent within each article.

WP:DIGITS

Especially for German and Japanese cars, the manufacturers themselves do not use commas (perhaps in the US market), and so there is no need for them here. French and Germans use a space, the Portuguese use a period, the Japanese don't use anything. The English-speaking world does not have a universal style either. You will notice that the Manual of Style does not prefer one over the other. They even allow for numbering with spaces: 1234567.5555 Thanks for your time, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:01, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Picture licensing

Hello and thank you for your contributions. I want to upload some photos with the consent of their respective authors but the problem is that the authors are unaware about the CC licensing. How should I upload the photos in this situation? U1Quattro (talk) 17:50, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not an expert on the topic but my advice is, if possible, have the author publish the image to either Wikimedia commons directly, or to Flickr under the appropriate license (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA both work) and then upload it to Wikimedia. TKOIII (talk) 01:26, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here’s some more detailed information on uploading images: https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Uploading_images (General guide to uploading) https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr (Uploading from Flickr to Wikimedia) TKOIII (talk) 01:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Whitespace stripping

Please don't make edits like this.

They are, first of all, useless. They have no visible change to the article. CITEVAR et al. are against such changes. Mostly though, stripping whitespace from complex templates makes editing more difficult for editors in the future. Why do this? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think I see what you're talking about. Sorry, I don't believe I meant to do that. That edit was just supposed to be a change in the main caption, though the edit summary shows it as a condensation of the whole infobox, not sure what triggered that. I will try to be cognizant of that in the future. --TKOIII (talk) 14:38, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TKOIII, same thing here - the white spaces make life much much easier for editors. Is this a bot thing? Thanks! Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:24, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, sorry about that. I definitely didn't strip that whitespace intentionally. It had to have been something to do with my computer or Wikipedia. The only changes I intentionally made were adding a 19 to the beginning of those 2 years, converting the weight and adding a space in the middle of roof lining. All that other editing it's showing was done automatically somehow. Not sure how or why, any idea what could be causing that? TKOIII (talk) 23:31, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Beta Technologies Logo.svg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Toyota concept cars

Thank you for your hard work tidying up the various car show articles and links going into them. Just thought that you should know that almost every Toyota concept has a link of its own.

Thank you for telling me! That should save me a ton of time making these edits.

Peugeot 404

Hi TKOIII - you added a lovely picture of a 404 coupé as the lead image on the Peugeot 404 page. Although I personally like the picture very much, I don't think this image is what would come to mind, if you were to ask the average reader what a Peugeot 404 looks like. Could you please consider changing it back to a sedan picture? there are plenty of them on the Commons, such as this one.

Wikiwayman (talk) 13:00, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sure. That's a fair point. I'll definitely keep the coupe image in the article in some capacity though as its a great pic TKOIII (talk) 19:11, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ford Fiesta

Hi TKO, Not sure if you're aware but the first Fiesta was manufactured/built in 1976 so therefore this edit would be correct?, Many thanks, Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 21:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Davey, I reverted that edit because the category "1970s cars" is the parent category to "Cars introduced in 1976" and is thus redundant to have both according to WP:Subcat. I've been doing copy edits removing these categories for a while where they're not neccessary. The user who made that edit has actually been banned on here 4 times or so on different accounts for edit warring, profane language towards other users and general disruption. His edits always revolve around reverting the copy edits I have been doing so I was going through and reverting his latest round of edits. Hope that makes more sense. TKOIII (talk) 22:10, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TKO, Ah my apologies I'd completely missed the "Cars introduced in 1976" category, Thank you for your informative reply - If I spot them before you I'll obviously revert them, Thanks again, Take care and stay safe. Kind Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 22:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, you too. And next time i'll try to remember to add edit summaries when I revert them so it'll be clearer, I usually do but this time it seems I forgot. TKOIII (talk) 22:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what a load of complete and utter nonsense, why the hell would you remove that category when it was obviously sold in that decade, it does not make sense, it's perfectly acceptable and valid to include it, whoever made those rules needs their head checked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.217.39.34 (talk) 20:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merkur Scorpio

Not sure if there are any eyes on the talkpage over there, so a question for you here: Do you think that we need a pic of a European Scorpio/Granada on the page? One was there and I folded it into the gallery, but I have a half a mind to just delete it. Any opinion? Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:47, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason not to have it honestly. In my eyes it's interesting to see them side by side and it contributes to the article by showing the reader visually the relationship between the two cars. TKOIII (talk) 20:16, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good, then it stays. By the way, just wanted to state that your picture changes are nearly always for the better - those of us who upload a lot of our own photos are often a bit blinkered and may have a hard time identifying the best photos. Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:15, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jaguar XKSS at Petersen Museum

I removed that sentence because the editor that added it has an obvious COI with the Petersen Museum (not going to post details here, but it's easily Google-able). 100% of that editor's contributions have been to promote the Petersen Museum.

Hello TKOIII. Can you find a source about the end of production fo the RTR? As far as I'm aware, the RTR was based on the post facelift 991.2 since 2018 and the web seems vague about whether it is discontinued or still being made. U¹ _quattro TALK 13:01, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Convert

I apologize beforehand if you already knew this one, but my favorite conversion trick is this:

Which gives this: 74 kW (100 PS; 99 hp)

Rather than this: 74 kW (101 PS; 99 hp)

About the McLaren F1

Why can’t you understand that the McLaren P1 is the real successor to the McLaren F1? Big Drake 305 (talk) 16:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see you posted on the F1 talk page, that's a good first step, much better than edit warring like you were doing and then got blocked for. However, if you really want to make a case that the P1 was the successor the F1 you'll need to provide reasoning and reliable sources to back up your claim. TKOIII (talk) 19:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How is the McLaren GT a grand tourer and the Corvette not?

No disrespect folk. You can literally do research on cargo space. Their interior is literally the same type. Ride quality, exactly the same. They differ from other sports car in many ways. Just because a manufacturer [does/doesn't] state its cars' classes doesn't mean there isn't a need of mention.

The AMG GT and Nissan GT-R are FAR FROM grand tourers yet no source was put in regards to those cars 66.215.90.113 (talk) 05:40, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make a note that while McLaren calls the GT a grand tourer that many automotive publications disagreed with that classification then go ahead but back it up with sources from said publications and that's something you should probably include in the main text. Not sure what should be put in the class section honestly, maybe put it out as a question on the talk page and see what everyone else thinks. TKOIII (talk) 07:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox images

Hello, please do not 'force' infobox images. The image should be written as just the filename I.e. "xxxxxxxx.jpg" or whatever file type it may be; no brackets or 'thumb' etc. Please see WP:IBI for more information. This style of formatting applies to the great majority of infoboxes now. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 20:46, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my bad. I saw that it was being used in most of the existing F1 infoboxes so I figured it was accepted. Is there another way to modify the size of an infobox image other than forcing images? Because otherwise the images in the F1 infoboxes appear much smaller than in standard production car infoboxes. TKOIII (talk) 22:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TBH I think it's a bit of a confused area. I agree some images do appear smaller than others may do but as I understand it, it *can* depend on individual settings etc. I do recall having lengthy discussions with an experienced editor about this kind of thing; some years ago now though. As a result of that I used the frameless and upright params in some instances (which often provided a slightly fuller rendering) until I discovered that was not SOP. Some infobox templates even have the 'hidden' advice not to use full parameters ('file' and so on). I believe the default setting is 220px and some pages do have the image size parameter set to a higher figure, but it is my observation that it gets removed sooner or later. None of this helps very much I'm afraid. Eagleash (talk) 23:10, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Colt/FYI

I saw this edit and I agree - but be aware that the Delica was sold as the Mitsubishi Colt L300 in Indonesia for many decades and is often called simply "Mitsubishi Colt" there (and in the Philippines). They also call the large Fuso trucks "Mitsubishi Colt Diesel", to make things more confusing still. But I still lean towards that making the hatnote appropriate in Indonesian-language Wiki, not necessarily here. Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 13:58, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, that makes a lot more sense as to why they put that. I agree, that hatnote would be more appropriate on the Indonesian language article. TKOIII (talk) 20:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Bugatti Chiron successor information

Hey why do you remove information about the Bugatti Chiron's successor? The car is already confirmed to debut on June 20, so I'm putting it back up, whether you like it or not. GylonVisagie (talk) 14:19, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Unannounced vehicles states "information about future or speculative vehicles that have not been officially announced by their manufacturer should not be discussed". In this case, Bugatti has only announced that they are *going to* announce a new hypercar. I don't think that this qualifies for the guidelines, but i'm open to having other editors weigh in or having someone show me precedent that states otherwise as I could be wrong.

WP:CRYSTALBALL also encourages us to wait until we have facts rather than educated guesses. WP reports verifiable facts. Stepho talk 12:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reviving discussion at Template:Infobox automobile

I hope you don't mind, but I revived a discussion on spiritual predecessors/successors that you started last year at Template talk:Infobox automobile. Unfortunately, your topic received no responses at that time. I agree that the subject needs to be addressed specifically in the template instructions. I'm hoping others will weigh in this time. Best, Bahooka (talk) 14:18, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I appreciate you reviving the discussion as that's still a big unresolved question I would love some consensus on, especially since there's frequently conflicts between editors about it. TKOIII (talk) 17:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Translation(s)

I happened upon Wendler (coachbuilder) which is an appreciated article on a topic translated over from German Wikipedia. However there was something missing in the translation process - since it wasn't done with Wikipedia:Content translation tool, you have to write in the edit summary the link to the article it was translated from (as I just did with the text "translated from the German Wikipedia article de:Wendler (Karosseriebau)"). Please keep in mind for the future - and thank you! Recon rabbit 17:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
