[edit] Super kudos

Incredible. Awesome. Just plain WOW on that new article on the Holden. My God, that's a feature if there ever was one practically out of the chute. Outstanding example of quality over quantity and if you don't run it up on peer review, I will.  :) BTW, I actually saw a Holden Monaro the other day. Left-hand drive. Here in California. And, no, it wasn't a GTO. I like that car better as a Monaro! First one I'd ever seen outside a picture. - Lucky 6.9 08:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Review article 1988 Holden VN Commodore

He is some simple tips to help your article:

• Lead paragraph is too big, try to keep the lead paragraph at least a couple of lines free of the rest.
• Need to have more general information for the models such as how the model came to be not just what options come with it.
• Try not to have such a lead paragraph section I mean from a distance it looks like its just one big paragraph.
• Can we have less specifications and more history on the car.

P.S. i will see if i can get any more information

[edit] Review Holden VE Commodore

I didn't have much time so I quickly had to look over it if possible can you get more or better pictures of the car, it won't be long until this article will be listed as a featured article and on the front page it is great that other countries can see what Australian Cars are made of. gotta love it

P.S. i need some help on my article, if you know any information please tell me on my talk pageSenators 01:20, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've looked over the article and it's of a pretty high standard. As mentioned, it would be good if a few more pictures could be added, but the info looks complete. Good luck with the nomination! VectorD 02:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:GTA Navigational boxes

The current design of the boxes are based on specifications provided in Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Navboxes (see also original discussion in WP:CVG/T), which is based on {{Navbox generic}}. If in doubt or proposing design changes, may I recommend bringing this comment up in Navbox/T or WP:CVG/T, as it is proposed that the navboxes in certain articles covered by WP:CVG are to be standardized. I'm prepared to go ahead with your style if your proposal is approved. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC) ╫

[edit] Holden VE Clay Model.jpg image

Hi OSX. I'm concerned about the image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Holden_VE_Clay_Model.jpg since it includes a person (face partly shown) who is not directly linked to the subject material. I haven't been able to find any rules on Wikipedia supporting or frowning on such circumstances. I was wondering if you happen to know about the relevant regulations? Any info is appreciated. VectorD 02:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say, but I am unsure about that one. I too have just spent some time looking for a policy or rule of thumb that prevents the use of such images. My view on the matter is simple. The image shows the car in development with one of the designers detailing a clay model of the car. The person included is more or less a part of the photograph. Maybe I should ask around to see if anyone else has any thoughts on the matter. Regards OSX 06:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

That's ok. If no info can be found, I'll just wait and see if anyone objects or removes the image. I do see your point about designer and model, but I'm not sure if some sort of privacy regs apply or not. Anyway, we'll just wait and see what happens. Thanks for your help though.

[edit] Pictures

Regarding the VE Commodore article, I found that you need much more pictures, maybe if you went to a Holden dealer or showroom you could get pictures it has been to long.Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 00:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I personally would have to disagree, as too many pictures can spoil an article. The article could possibly do with an interior shot, and maybe an image of one of the sports variants - to replace one of the two images of Calais models shown. I have also nominated the article for FA-Status, if you have any other concerns, please let either User:VectorD or myself aware of such. Regards OSX 00:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great

It is great that in some time the Holden VE Commodore article may be a featured article, finally everyone will be able to see what Australian cars are made of!!!!Senators^{Talk | Contribs} 22:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Holden VE Commodore rework

Hi OSX. Per the suggestions for FAC to make the Holden VE Commodore more interesting: Unfortunately I probably won't be doing anything like that anytime soon. I originally contributed to the article intending it as a reference guide for automotive enthusiasts rather than fun reading. At the moment I don't have the time nor energy to make any fundamental changes, however you or any other contributor can, of course, modify it as you see fit. I can make corrections or add small details as it progresses. VectorD 07:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mitsubishi i

Regarding your edits to the above article...

• Infobox. I see no mention of infoboxes in the WP:MOS. I deliberately use multiple spacing to allow clearer editing. I don't know if you're just using javascript to remove more than one space wherever it occurs. In that case, may I refer you to Wp:mos#Spaces after the end of a sentence, which states that "[t]here are no guidelines on whether to use one space after the end of a sentence". Therefore, you shouldn't be making such changes if they are purely a stylistic personal preference.
• Changing <ref> to {{cite web}}. Even using the ref tag, the little .pdf icon indicates the file type. Therefore the change was unnecessary and as per WP:CITE, "Do not change formats without checking for objections on the talk page" and "Templates may be used at the discretion of individual editors, subject to agreement with the other editors on the article". Both of those quotes are in bold on that page to emphasise the importance of not simply applying your own preferential style.
• Changing percent to %. Err, where on the WP:MOS does it say anything about that? If you're going to quote the style guide in the edit summary, please at least follow it. For the record, support for spelling out "percent" in prose text is detailed in the final paragraph of the Percentage article.

I'm therefore reverting to the last version by myself. If you wish to discuss this further, either the article talk page or here is fine. Regards, --DeLarge 11:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Holden New Zealand
