RE: Maserati Question

Yes, seperating the coupe from the spider into two articles would clean things up, but one problem is that they are essentially the same car. You could possibly seperate the article into two sections. One section for the coupe, the other for the convertible. With two sections though, you would have to have an infobox for the coupe and one for the convertible. I did notice a few other new contributors, but your massive amount of contributions caught my attention. 0-172 4:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Templates

Thanks for starting to build a template library-- very helpful! Also, awesome work on Maserati, etc....thanks! LuvWikis 14:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

When bringing templates here, make sure to tag them with the Templates category. You have brought tons of templates here, practically none having the template category. Now I have to go through all of them tagging them. Do you have any idea how long that will take?! I cannot tag everything alone, so please give me a little assistance (you brought them here, you should have to work at tagging them, not me). In the end, what you've done has created a whole lot of unecessary work for me, so I am asking you to at least help with tagging them. 0-172 22:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for tagging all of the templates. I took a look at the templates category and saw templates for individual cars. Whats that about? 0-172 3:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Tagging

Tagging is another word for categorizing. This is what you should put on the bottom of all of the template pages: [[Category:Templates]]

heya Red marquis!

my god, i couldn't help but notice the insane amount of work you've done! i stand in awe of your contributions... keep up the good work, and thanks for making this wiki a bit more complete! -- Rfujitani 15:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Alfa Romeo items

Hi

I am not a contributor here at all, just wanted to drop a few things that I spotted here.

1. The Alfa_Romeo_33_Stradale page seems to not follow the look of some of the more recent additions.
2. The link to edit the Alfa Romeo infobox seems to point to the Lancia one. Not sure if that is intentional.
3. My own site has comprehensive specs on Alfa Romeos (including the 33 Stradale). If you want to know more about it, please reply here. I'll email you if you're interested. I do not want to be accused of spamming so I won't mention the site here or link to it.

Thanks

I've fixed the problems you've lined out here. We are, after all, a relatively young site and still in the process of building and streamlining. Please, feel free to join and contribute and yes i'm interested. my email address is red_marquis86@yahoo.com

Template Tagging

Hey Red marquis, I've noticed in the templates category, there are manufacturers and car models. I found out why they were there. When you tagged the templates, you just put [[Category:Templates]]. When you have that, when that template is on a page, that page is counted as a template. To fix this problem, unless already there, add: <noinclude>[[Category:Templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>. When thats added, when a page has the template, that page is not counted as a template. I've already started fixing the tagging, but could use some help. 0-172 20:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Infobox

Aha! I knew I wasn't understanding something. Ill go fix all my edits.

--Stevolutionary7 18:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, could we get some script to monitor our editing stats? I know there is one on the Main Wiki site, but I dont know if it will work here, nor do I know how to use it.

--Stevolutionary7 17:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia User:Interiot has a script that involves some browser integration, but when its set up properly it will display your editing stats after entering your username. The file is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js --Stevolutionary7 12:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Honestly I never noticed the defect on my infobox till you pointed it out. I REALLY will get the hang of those @*#&$ things someday LOL. Also thanks for the other user tips.

Template:Infobox

I thought that you intended to leave the infobox unfilled? Enzo Worshipper ^{Talk to me} 3:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Astounding work on the S-Class article. Enzo Worshipper^{Talk to me} 00:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Need 2 pages...

Hey Red, due to the vast amount of information, I'm requesting that the Pontiac Firebird page be broken down into 2 pages - the first one I finished up today (1967-1981), I'll hope to finish up part 2 (1982-2002) by the end of the week. Can you help me out with this? Thanks, Yankee 17:55 21 February

In this instance, I think you need to ask help from PNiddy - RM

Mercedes Template

Looks awesome! LuvWikis 13:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Artega GT Coupe

The files you uploaded for the Artega appear to be empty. There is nothing in the infobox when I view the page, and when I view the file pages, there is nothing there. Enzo Worshipper 22:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You uploaded it as a gif, so I have no idea whats going on. Try creating a file destination (Image link) instead of just uploading the image. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will. Enzo Worshipper 22:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Image link: [[Image:Image Name.gif|thumb|right|300px]] Enzo Worshipper 22:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Please...

Can you please wait a little bit before adding to a page that I'm working on? I appreciate you're trying to help, but I was adding the infobox information when you added your generic one, and when I submitted I had a "conflict" which wiped out what I had done... I had to scrap it and redo it all over again. Thank you  :-)

Bentley Havana

No, I do not get the same problem (Then again, I use an Apple). The image looks fine, but it seems a little large. Enzo Worshipper 16:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Rover 75 article

I have been editing the Rover 75 article and a formatting anomaly has turned up. I have tried to altar the fuel economy table to give figures for every engine. However, the table has gone and attached itself to the photo gallery. The code doesn't indicate that it should be doing this, and I can't seem to reverse the change.

I would be very grateful if you could correct this, and let me know how to correct anything like this myself in future. Thanks frich107
