NOTE: I know some people carry on conversations across two User talk pages. I find this ludicrous and unintuitive, and would much prefer to follow Wikipedia's recommendations (see How to keep a two-way conversation readable). Conversations started on my talk page will be continued on my talk page, while those I start on other users' pages will be continued on their pages. If a user replies to a post of mine on my talk page, I will either cut/paste the text to their page, or (more likely) copy/paste from their page to my own before continuing.

[edit] Notable contributions

• My peer review of Talbot Tagora was one of the first small steps which helped User:Bravada, User:Outriggr and others to bring the page to featured status. I was awarded a userbox and barnstar for my contributions, although my active involvement in editing the article was minimal.[1][2]
• My expansion/rewrite of Mitsubishi i led to its appearance on the Wikipedia frontpage as part of the "Did you know?" section on August 11, 20062006.[3][4]
• My expansion/rewrite of the List of bestselling vehicle nameplates led to it being cited as a source by The New Zealand Herald on September 21, 2006.[5][6]
• My expansion of London-Sydney Marathon led to its appearance on the Wikipedia frontpage as part of the "Did you know?" section on November 14, 20062006.[7][8]
• My expansion of Mitsubishi i led to it being passed as a Good Article on March 11, 2007.[9]

For the main Mitsubishi Motors article? Some source info here.

• MVV — "Mitsubishi Vertical Vortex" lean burn technology
• GDI — "Gasoline direct injection"
• MIEV — "Mitsubishi In-wheel motor Electric Vehicle"
• ASG — "Automatic Stop-Go"

[edit] Kei cars

Work through Category:Kei cars adding infoboxes where appropriate. Stats can be obtained easily enough,[10] and a lot of these vehicles have fan sites with info that can be plundered. Also, it's not a huge category, so shouldn't take forever. Although it will, of course...

[edit] Suzuki Wagon R

Expand article of the bestselling kei car.

[edit] Tokyo Motor Show

Update details using stats on official website (linked to from article).

[edit] Ralliart

I've created so much content referring to MMC's motorsport heritage on the Mitsubishi 500, Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR and Mitsubishi Motors pages that I'm thinking it could be added to the Ralliart article. There's loads of reference data which can be sourced at the company's Web Museum - all I need to do is make it more NPOV and less hagiographic.

Also note this press release: "Mitsubishi Motors to Suspend Participation in the FIA World Rally Championship Series" (Tokyo, December 14, 2005), and incorporate into article?

[edit] Slik
