Simca Vedette

Hi Pc13. I saw you have volunteered to serve as a reviewer on the French Cars Task Force. The reviewing scheme will probably take a considerable amount of time to start functioning, as we still need standards etc. and the whole issue does not advance too much as I guess I am the only one really pushing for it and only Gerd expressed his interest as of now. Still, I hope you are interesting in French cars, as there is some editing support needed, actually.

Namely, I am currently working on Simca articles, and I have even managed to get a few people to help with some articles. The most advanced, currently, is probably the Simca Vedette, which was even actually promoted to Good Article (though I believe this was a bit "in advance"). There is still some work that needs to be done about it, and one missing part is the history of the model in Brasil (and of Simca do Brasil in general, as Vedette-derived models seem to have been all that they manufactured). There are some informative (I presume) sources on that, but they are all in Portuguese. Those two sources seem to be pretty comprehensive:

1. http://www.simca.com.br (might be down, so perhaps it could be accessed via the Wayback Machine)
2. http://www2.uol.com.br/bestcars/ph2/175a.htm (this is about Ford Vedette and Simca Vedette in general, but later on there is a link to the article on the Brazilian history, and perhaps you could see whether this adds anything to what is already said about the European history of those models)

Thanks in advance for considering devoting some of your precious time to that :D Regards, Bravada, talk - 21:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

1999 24 Hours of Le Mans question

I'm just curious what your source is on some things regarding your corrections to the 1999 Le Mans page. From what I've found, Estoril Racing Communications is Portugeuse, as seen here , yet listed as French here . Both pages however list Michel Monteiro as Portugeuse and not French (I believe I listed him as French by mistake when I originally wrote the page).

If you have any sources that say otherwise, it'd be great to see them. The359 21:54, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Upon further looking, I've found that Estoril Racing also ran in 1998, and in this picture there is a clear flag of Portugal on the side of the door. Did they change their team's national representation from 1998 to 1999, or something else? The359 21:02, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

FIA GT Race Naming Scheme

I noticed that you've taken over adding results for previous years of FIA GT, which I appreciate as it would have taken me forever to do it myself. Just a minor thing though, is that I believe a better naming scheme would be similar to the one I used for the 2006 races: 'Year' FIA GT 'Track' 'Distance' I think that when we go back into FIA GT further, it'll make things more even since they didn't always use the name "Supercar" as part of the race title. Having "2005 FIA GT Championship Magny-Cours 500km" just seems more logical a title. Although, granted, I probably shouldn't have used "Tourist Trophy" for the Silverstone round, since it goes against the scheme... The359 21:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, now that I look at it, I'm the one who put "Supercar" in the page title links on the 2005 FIA GT Championship season page. My fault. I still think we should change them to not include the word Supercar though. The359 22:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Ascari A410 = Lola T92/10?

I noticed while going through the Le Mans Prototype article recently that you had added a note that the Ascari A410s were modified Lola T92/10s. However, after researching the article on the Lola T92/10, I'm not quite sure if this is true. I do agree they look very similar, however as far as I know only three T92/10s were built (with a possible fourth), and two of them were still racing at the time of the A410. Yet I know at least two A410s existed, so I have to wonder, where you got this information that the A410 is based on the T92/10 and what exactly their relation is. The359 20:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

There's been a Request for Comment initiated at Talk:Whizzer#Request for comment over style and content issues between two versions of Whizzer, one by Tenebrae, the other by Asgardian.

You're a regular and diligent contributor to WikiProject Comics and to the Whizzer article, and so might be a knowledgeable and disinterested party who could add an informed opinion. --Tenebrae 13:50, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed the Ascari were modified T92/10s, this straight from the designer of the 92/10 who was also responsible for their conversions to Acari LMPs, Wiet Hudikoper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mulsannescorner (talk • contribs) 00:46, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

1000km Suzuka

Were there two 1000km races at Suzuka in 1989? The World Sportscar Championship ran there in April, with a Sauber-Mercedes winning, but your list has a Porsche 962 winning. The359 16:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that, I just realized looking over results that I made a mistake in making the 1989 World Sportscar Championship season page, in that the Suzuka round was 480km, not 1000km. I've fixed it now. The359 16:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Lola

I originally had the T332CS/T333CS on the sportscar template, but I deleted since as you point out it's a modified open wheel car. I'm actually not sure of what to think of modified open wheel cars that ran in Can Am or for that matter, Interserie. I had a similar debate last night about whether or not to include Interserie in Category:Group C racing since they allowed Group C cars, but I don't think they were the same regulations.

The T88/40 is in the same boat, although the /40 part of the designation would seem to make it appear as a predecessor LMP/SR.

I'd say that, if anything, just leave them off of any chart since they are such unique vehicles (especially the B01/70 MG). Articles can eventually exist on them, but I think with sheer number of Lola articles that are theoretically possible, it might be ok to have four or five cars that don't have a template at the bottom.

My gut feeling is that honestly neither you or I nor anyone else will ever get around to making pages for these rare cars from minor series at the time. This is partly why I left Sport 2000 off of the sports car template. The359 22:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Changes to chassis links

Hi Pc13. I notice you're changing lots of chassis links in F1 driver pages to remove the link to the constructor, e.g. changing "] ]" to just "]". We deliberately structured the chassis links that way so that if there wasn't an article for the specific chassis, you could still click on the constructor link. See discussion here -- DH85868993 08:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, in the entrant column, where an entrant name has been piped to soemthing very similar, e.g. "]", again that is usually deliberate; the name on the right-hand side of the pipe is how the entrant appeared on the official entry list. DH85868993 08:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Cosworth Duratec Engine

I saw that you changed the Atlantic engine section to refer to the Mazda engine. The reason why I used the Ford reference is that Cosworth sources their Duratec crate engines directly from Ford. I am however fine with either reference and will not change it back. magnusfeuer

Deadly Hands of Kung Fu

PC13, I see you created the Curtis Magazines. I'm having a dispute with another editor on utilizing the Marvel name in the infobox in the Deadly Hands of Kung Fu article . The magazine was clearly published under the Curtis logo rather then Marvel. My question to you is: Do you have any references about the history of Marvel and its imprint Curtis that you stated in your article? I am using some of the information you utilized in your article but I would like a reference so that I can defend it if necessary. Specifically about Marvel's strategy of utilizing an imprint name for its more mature B+W magazines. I know this seems very logical but there are other out there that need hand holding through every step. Thanks FrankWilliams 12:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't blame "Americans"

I took mild exception to your reference to what "Americans have trouble grasping". This kind of comment does not raise the level of discourse, and risks offending other editors. I happen to be an American (not that this should matter to anyone on Misplaced Pages), but this has little do with what I can or cannot grasp. Yes, we need to be sure we're writing for a worldwide audience, but we surely don't need to insult people from a particular country in order to accomplish this.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of JMB Racing, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: User:Pc13/Sandbox. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

RAC Tourist Trophy

I recently started a stub for the Tourist Trophy, mostly with a list of the trophy winners. Howver, my sources only go up to 1994, so I've been trying to find the races that have run under the Trophy banner since. So far I have an ISRS race in 1998 and what I thought was a race in 1999, plus the three FIA GT races from 2005-now. However, while searching, I came across your entry in the Jamie Campbell-Walter article that he won the Tourist Trophy during the 1999 British GT Championship. Unfortunately none of my sources list the Tourist Trophy for that year, so do you happen to know which event it was which was designated as the Tourist Trophy? The359 (talk) 00:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

You're right, I went to the Motor Racing Circuits Database (which is actually still around, someone has a duplicate here instead of having to look up Archives). Anyway, it also adds some BTCC events in 1996 and 1997, but at the same time it lacks the 2001 event that Warnock and Jordan apparently won. Again, no help from WSRP.

However, one piece of "proof" that ISRS did not have the Tourist Trophy at Donington is from RacingSportscars.com, in that they have the the official program's cover scanned. Confirms the event was "The Very Fast Show", and no mention of a Tourist Trophy or anything of that sort. The 1998 cover on the other hand quite clearly calls the event the Tourist Trophy. So I'm thinking it was indeed the British GT series that ran the Trophy race, just have to find which one. I'll search some more. The359 (talk) 16:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

1998 FIA GT

Yeah, thanks, I had noticed them in your sandbox before and figured you'd start adding them while I worked my way back through the years. One thing I noticed however was the engine displacement in the CLK LM. I had initially thought the M119 was increased in size to 6 litres, but a quick Google search seems to give conflicting reports on whether it was 5 litre or 6 litre. The359 (talk) 01:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Further searching, and the program for the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans lists the CLK LMs as 6000cc Atmospheric. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The359 (talk • contribs) 01:13, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

quattro (all wheel drive system)

I've had to undo your last edit on the Audi quattro all wheel drive system.

Unforunately, you made some major edits to various parts of the text, notably the regarding the specific operation of the Torsen based systems which where factually incorrect. You also changed the format layout, making your version much harder to read, and compare against newer generations. One very particular issue, is that you repeatedly state that the Torsen "locks" - the Torsen never locks - instead, it permantly apportions drive between front and rear axles (based on the torque sensing principle), and therefore, the Torsen is a permanently "open" differential. (If it were to "lock", then it would be exactly 50:50 drive front/rear at 100% of the time). Rgds, -- Teutonic Tamer 13:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Audi A4

Hi, thanks for the message on my talk page. The pdf link you gave me is interesting - yes, it does show a date of October 2000, but as with all Audi "Technical Data" sheets, that date is simply the date of "release" of the document only, and not actual availability of the car in question. The B6 A4 range wasn't actually available for delivery until very early 2001. I specifically remember being invited to a "press" launch at Newmarket, England - whereby press, and pre-registered potential purchasers were invited to drive a very limited selection of "pre-production" A4s. This was around late October/early November 2000, and we were strictly advised that they were pre-production, and that final specifications had yet to be confirmed, and deliveries of "production" models (to both press and paying customers) would not occur until mid-late January 2001. They did confirm that the German market would be getting their production A4s before the UK, but it was only a few weeks difference.

I agree that the dates in the infoboxes, and in the text of the articles should relate to physical production years, and not the US orientated "model years" - and specifcally referring to the A4, whilst there may have been a few pre-production cars available late 2000, I think that the mainstream production, for the "finalised specifications" only really began in Dec 2000, with Audi AG aiming for customer delivery for Jan 2001. That is the reason why I reckon the start-year for the B6 should be 2001.

A similar scenario happened with the B6 S4, with Audi releasing Technical Data late 2002, but the car was not physically available until about April/May 2003.

Whoops, my apologies! I've just checked the history on my talk page and (I think) when I last replied, that particular message was unsigned, and a bot has subsequently added the IP signature - hence why I wrongly assumed you wrote it. Sorry . . .

Regarding the Audi press site(s), I don't know if you are aware, but there are country-specific press sites for each country (ie, one for Audi.co.uk, one for Audi.de, another for, Audi.fr, etc), and there is also the 'corporate', global press site. I know that the UK press site contains full archives, but not sure about the others. Newspress doesn't seem to carry any archives, so unless you pull the pdf within the first week or so (not worked out the true cut-off), they vanish into the 'ether'!

Regarding the German magazines you list, are they WP:RS? I know that in the UK, one of the supposed "trusted" car mags is Evo, yet I have repeatedly found consistent factual errors (maybe down to "journalist license"?!), which, when you trace back to original sources, have been changed to make for more interesting reading (I guess to improve their sales).

I suppose the "nitty-gritty" is that - what is the cut-off, to inlcude something in one year or the other. To take the B7 as an example, if it did go into production in December 2004, then by stating a 'blanket year' of 2004 for the B7 would be misleading. It may have been in production for one month of 2004, but what about the other 11 months of 2004? To then state 2004 in the article would be very misleading - which is why I would prefer the 2005 date.

Finally, there is confusion about when cars are "introduced" - looking at the current text for the B7 -

Audi introduced a heavily revised A4 in late 2004 . . .

- "introduced" is not the same as "in full production and avalable to purchase, and take delivery". Car maufacturers often introduce forthcoming new models at motor shows, often many months before they make it to the production line - again, this is misleading. I suppose the correct way to write the text of that B7 section would be something like: Audi introduced a preview of a heavily revised A4 at such-and-such MotorShow in late 2004, with anticipated production and customer deliveries for the start of 2005.

I really think that the dates should reflect the majority of the applicable year, and if there is any confusion, then the text of the article should clarify the dates.

Mitsubishi Challenger lives!!

Remember that huge debate we had in 2006 about whether or not the Outlander was the successor to the Challenger? Well, it seems I was right all along (and I knew it). Mitsubishi have finally released a new Challenger, which will be available in most markets except Europe or North America. It will also go by a few different names, but will retain the Challenger name here in Australia. It's based on the Triton pickup truck, just like the previous model was.

House-music tagging

When a style of music is used as an adjective, it requires hyphens: “Legendary house-music producer Marhsall Jefferson returned after a 10-year absence from the music industry.” When it is used as a noun, it doesn’t take a hyphen: “Many people like to dance to house music. House music is a feeling.” I hope this clears up why I’ve been doing what I’m doing. I suggest you look at The Chicago Manual of Style for further clarification. Peace. —MuzikJunky (talk) 06:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what the Chicago Manual of Style is, but I know what the English language is. Hyphens are for compost words. House-music does not exist as a compost noun. Do you also write "rock-music", "jazz-music", "trance-music" and "classical-music" with hyphens? --Pc13 (talk) 10:18, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

The Chicago Manual of Style is one of the premier authorities on the written version of the English language. When a noun phrase made of multiple words is used as an adjective, it becomes a compund noun (not compost) and requires a hyphen. When the noun phrase is used as a noun, it does not require hyphens (see above). Chicago can be purchased anywhere, and some of its features are available at its Web site.] Peace. —MuzikJunky (talk) 22:15, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Buraka Som Sistema

Hi, Pc13! I've restored the article at User:Pc13/Buraka Som Sistema. You may want to add information about *why* the band is notable, and see if you can find English refs? That should keep it from being deleted again :) Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 13:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's funny he says the band is notable however he goes on an article about Vitória F.C. and arrogantly removes unbiased words like "remarkable" saying they are POV. Big LOL.--Richard George (talk) 03:48, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Vitória F.C.

Your edit was simply arrogant like... "I don't like this and that... Let me change it becaus yes". Hey, I've got news for you, you are not alone in the Internet and Misplaced Pages is not a private estate, no matter how many articles you exhibit for the sake of pride. The article has evolved very well in the last years, and occasionally people like you appear there and start to mess it alround.

FIA GT3

In regard to my reverting your edits, I figured the summary might explain it enough, but just in case, here's a link to the 2006 entry list, which had Carsport Callaway as NED. I think that 2006 FIA GT3 European Championship season page is going to need more work because from my math the official points totals on their website don't match the actual race results, also on their website...

Bull-Doser's latest edits

To explain, they were insigated by this change to the auto and auto-generation infoboxes. Given that there's still contentious discussion going on (and it seems to be moving away from a resolution, not towards it) I think he's jumping the gun inappropriately by making these edits, but then that's no great surprise to me... --DeLarge (talk) 13:07, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Harry Romero

Toyota Carina

I thought your copy-edit here was pretty good. However, your description of the 'first generation' as a 'large family car' seems to be contradicted by the photo below. If the Japanese-market version was a different car altogether, there needs to be another pic showing the difference, eh? It's a pity that almost none of the article is supported by citations and references. Any ideas? Cheers Bjenks (talk) 02:03, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry to trouble you, but there's a dispute that's been festering on and off for over a year regarding the trademark notices used on comic book images.

The Bomb By Kenny Gonzalez

Please stop changing the release date from 1995 to 1994 the song was relaesed 1995 and was a hit in 1995 not 1994 i not only remember but their are sources --Wikiscribe (talk) 15:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm well aware of club music we are not talking about if it was spun in some club at an earlier date that would be like siteing any songs demo as the release date for a song that is not yet officaly released and my source"s" are more re liable i.e that source you are using is a commerical site i pointed out non commercial sites one is an article write up and the other is a music media site and also yahoo music which is a commerical site has it down as january 1995--Wikiscribe (talk) 15:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Not commerical? yes it is read the article you portaled it does say it's also commerical and allmusic is not,and clearly shows all releases even the obscure vinyl release as 1995 and if you want to argue that other site as a blog fine though everything on that site is wriiten as articles unless you clcik the blog portal to blog but okay lets say it a blog you are citeing a commerical or at least a partial commerical site and i'm not but lets say that site is right could you be argueing the possibility it was released on vinyl in novemeber or december 1994(being there is not a full date of release from that site) or that we start using "underground"localized releases as offical release dates because next people will want to cite underground mix tapes that they got as release dates for songs before it was released to the general public on cassette single or something--Wikiscribe (talk) 04:10, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

TWR/WR merger

Tom Walkinshaw Racing and Walkinshaw Racing are two completely different race teams with no connection other than the owner. Walkinshaw Racing is the name being used for the third and fourth entries of the Holden Racing Team so if Walkinshaw Racing was to be merged, then the best merger would be with HRT not TWR. --Falcadore (talk) 16:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD discussion for Prediction of the United States collapse in 2010

Thank you for your valuable comment! Would you please list (on my "talk page") the sources coming from private websites? I'd like to find more reliable alternatives to them. As to academic interest, I've listed there six professors and one academician who have commented on it (most negatively but commented!). I was unable to find scientific publications citing it but it's obvious that since it gained popularity only recently (a few months ago) and there is not much time left till 2010, people prefer to wait a bit instead of engaging with this risky stuff :) --Лъчезар (talk) 09:04, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Team name and entrant name

Thank you for your wisdom. I think with Scuderia Playteam I decided to remove the Sarafree because a page for Scuderia Playteam had just been created and did not include Sarafree in its title, however it was mentioned later in the article. I understand now that the Sarafree was necessary to mention as part of the entry name. With regards to the 2008 GP2 Series season, that cannot explain why the Piquet Sports flag(s) is different in three places on the article: under the 'Teams and Drivers' it's , under '2008 Schedule' it's and under 'Team Standings' it's and . Which is correct for that season? Officially Mr X (talk) 08:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Groove Armada genres

I can assure you that since 2009 is Groove Armada a huge load of synthpop. Listen to Black Light if you don't believe. If you already have heard Black Light, I believe you will agree now and you will not delete synthpop as Groove Armada's genre next time. Thank you in advance. Jarecek (talk) 11:20, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, first half is definitely pop-rock oriented. However synthpop tracks are at least I Won't Kneel, Shameless and History. And this part of sound is for GA important these days (according to their live act I attended last autumn and according to the fact I Won't Kneel was picked as a pilot). No offense. I am just music journalist and hard core fan of GA with 4k plays @ Last.fm interested in improving Armada's facts on Wiki. If you think synthpop is not appropriate, remove it. I won't change it again. There are more important things to correct :) Jarecek (talk) 8:35, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

hp vs PS

Hello Pc13, I noticed that you changed the text in the Suzuki Fronte article to read "PS" instead of hp. Since many readers are unfamiliar with PS I figured to refer to metric horsepowers as "hp" in prose would make sense, and avoids having others add the bhp. If you think it must read "PS" that's fine, I just think that hp works better in the main text. Best,  ⊂ Mr.choppers ⊃  (talk) 15:46, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Please stop making this change. PS and hp are not the same unit - there's a couple of % difference in their values. So whatever the merits of each unit as a choice, your simple renaming here is introducing a numerical error. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:34, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Heikki L

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

A tag has been placed on Heikki L, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Heikki L and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Elton Bunny (talk) 15:13, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Re:Anon IRC/WRC guy

Yeah, I've been getting sick and tired with his "contributions" as well. For instance, I added a reference showing that Valeriy Gorban had used Sergey Larens as co-driver in Portugal here but low and behold, he couldn't admit he was wrong so he decided to remove it here. I've already reasoned with him twice to stop adding un-notable entries, but yeah, I think we should give him another response as to why he should stick with using just the event's official entry lists and not making up his own "teams". If he continues, admin action seems to be the only reputable option...Rest assured, you're not the only one who is getting tired of the continual reverts! ;) Cs-wolves(talk) 23:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

*sigh* He just isn't giving up, is he? Cs-wolves(talk) 22:38, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, he ignores every revert we do and continues to put his own OR into the articles, and bloating the articles with unknown or un-notable entries. He also seems to group all the Peugeot Total entries, including the Magalhães one that you have mentioned, into the one Peugeot Total span. If I remember correctly, the IRC archives are getting a bit of a touch-up after the introduction of their new live timing system, but I don't know that for a 100% certainty. Is it possible that you could give me a list of who the one-offs are, and I'll see what I can find? Kind regards, Cs-wolves(talk) 15:34, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, Sarrazin and McRae hit the podium on their one-offs in Monte Carlo and Scotland respectively, so we can consider them as notable to be included. Now, if we look at Auriol, who competed in Monte Carlo, he lost a wheel on the first stage and retired; while Snijers retired from 13th place on stage 6 in Ypres. Make of that what you will... Zhigunov retired from 30th in Russia, and ran no higher than 27th, so he should go, while Verlaque retired from 5th on stage 3 on the Safari. So a few definitely to go...

Rashomon

Hi, Pc13. You were right to remove ""Rashomon-style", as it's an OR claim. As for "what it means", though: That 1950 Akira Kurosawa film is the classic, oft-cited example of what film scholars call "the unreliable narrator", with the same event being told from different, and differing, points of view. It's considered one of cinema's greatest and most influential films. I feel very happy to be able to introduce it to you and to urge you to see this classic movie, preferably on a big screen as its beautifully composed visuals deserve. And then you'll be ready to see Seven Samurai ! Trust me: These are two cinematic experiences you won't want to miss. With regards, Tenebrae (talk) 13:33, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
