Welcome to Wikicars!

Hi there, Vegavairbob, and welcome to Wikicars! I'm a regular moderator and contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:

Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:

  • If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.
  • The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
  • You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, ask me on my talk page.

Again, welcome and thanks for adding to our community!

p.s. If you wish to create a new page for a model of car or a car company, please type either of these down {{subst:model}} or {{subst:make}}. There are also various templates for different types of vehicles, such as {{subst:Concept Model}} for concept cars; {{subst:Racing Model}} for general racing vehicles and {{subst:Formula One Car}} for Formula One vehicles. Note that these codes are all case sensitive. I would advice you to first check out a number of our featured pages to get a feel and idea of the overall product we aim for. This is necessary for the sake of professionalism.

Also, please categorize images when you upload them. For instance, you upload an image of a Porsche 911 or anything related, for that matter with Porsche, on the "Summary" box located in the upload page itself, type [[Category:Porsche images]] and so on. All images must be categorized according to their respective marques.

If you have any further questions, simply contact me or any other one of the admins.

Chevrolet Vega

How many generations of the Vega were built? Did they just make one?

Hello- One generation through 1977. I downloaded two images. Having trouble inserting into article. comes up thumb error in the box. ThanksVegavairbob 06:51, 13 July 2009 (PDT)
Yeah, I feel your pain with the images. Unfortunately, Wikicars' parent company, Internet Brands refuses to do anything to remedy the problem.

Chevrolet Vega

I really like what you've done with the page. In fact I'm thinking of featuring it on the front page.

Is it finished? I mean, do you find it complete enough of an article?. I'm asking you because it's become a bit your baby and I don't want to highlight it if you think it is not yet ready. I'll wait for your word.

Thanks, I'm also working on the C3 generation Corvette (section) I'd like to add some images to the Vega article and Corvette section. I've tried.. keeps coming up error. Please help with procedure. The main red Vega photo I downloaded with no problem but thumbs won't post to article. Also, Is there a way to retreive the images I downloaded that won't post? Need to complete some of the sections. About a week should do it. Thanks. Vegavairbob.

Chevrolet Vega Photos

Vegavair, please don't remove the image I've included in the "Photos" section. I'm trying to help flesh out the article with images.
