Also let me know if you need any help, advice or want to nominate anything for GA or FA, I would be happy to help get some of your articles through the process or just do some grunt work. --Leivick (talk) 22:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Vegavairbob, your edits here are great, but please upload all images to the . Creating an account there will take literally 10 seconds (use same user name as here), and will allow people on foreign language Wikipedias to use the images. You will also save other editors the time it takes to transfer images to the Commons. Cheers OSX (talk • contributions) 03:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Corvette model years

Howdy, and thank you for diving in to clean up the Corvette article. It is something I've been wanting to do myself ro a long time, but have never found time. If you would allow me, I'd like to make an observation: by placing all the model year info under the "history section", fully 3/4 or more of the article is in one subsection (history) Furthermore, even stuff that isn't history, like the current production model, is under history. My opinion is that the history section could live on its own and the model year sections should be up a level as they were before. I believe this is also consistent with most wikipedia auto articles, and actually, with most wikipedia articles in general. Also, if you didn't see it, I started a discussion about infobox usage: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles#Infobox_usage_.28esp_dates.29 - I would love to hear your opinion! Keep up the great work! —Mrand 23:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:18, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Impala The citations are needed to prove that the calendar production date is indeed what is stated, because it isn't always the year before. It can sometimes be two years before (like this) or the same year (like, from what I've discovered, the 1994 Impala which started production on 2-14-94 according to the Motor Trend article reproduced here). So yes, you could say that they're needed because there were gaps in production, but unusual dates also turn up where there weren't, as with the Aurora and, according to this, the '85 Electra/Ninety-Eight. My personal preference would be to omit the production dates and just use model years for individual generations unless it's a special case, but I don't know if that would be supported by consensus. Hope this helps. --Sable232 (talk) 22:55, 26 June 2010 (UTC) Chevette improvements Thank you for the excellent improvements made to the model year chronology for the Chevette article. Especially, I appreciate the integration of the production/sales numbers for the years as that information was lacking previously. You did a great job, as usual and barnstar worthy for sure. Hats off to you! ThePaper (talk) 04:44, 29 June 2010 (UTC) The Curator Barnstar Your near-infinite number of uploads of classic (and beautiful) Chevrolet GM and Ford Group images are truly fantastic! I would love to see the same done for other brands though... --Pineapple Fez 06:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC) With regards to your improvements on the Vega article: WOW! Your dedication does not go unappreciated. Thanks for your hard work. That article is so much better than before, it shines like a new Cosworth. ThePaper (talk) 02:15, 17 July 2010 (UTC) New messages Hello, Barnstarbob. You have new messages at The Utahraptor's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Also it looks like Courcelles granted you rollback rights. The Utahraptor /_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 23:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC) Hello. You have a new message at The Utahraptor's talk page. Message added 00:34, 14 July 2010 (UTC). Fix this: http://en.wikipedia.org/File:1961-Chevrolet-Mako-Shark-Corvette-Concept-SA-Top-1280x960.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.166.69 (talk) 11:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC) Done Vegavairbob (talk) 17:12, 26 July 2010 (UTC) thanks Barnstar of Diligence The Barnstar of Diligence message For a allowing collaborators into Vega/Corvair world! Speedy deletion nomination of File:1969 Corvette 427 Convertible.jpg A tag has been placed on File:1969 Corvette 427 Convertible.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Ronhjones 00:25, 1 April 2011 (UTC) Vega You are welcome. It's a very strong article. I wish every car article on Misplaced Pages was as well-researched. ObtuseAngle (talk) 01:16, 15 April 2011 (UTC) Warning Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Curious about something Did someone at one time think that a yellow 1978 Monza Estate Wagon (as pictured in your article) was aesthetically pleasing? I'm just trying to wrap my mind around what the designers were thinking and who can honestly look at that monstrosity and say, "I want to buy that car". Anyone? Viriditas (talk) 12:38, 22 April 2011 (UTC) I think it looks rather nice once the side ornamentation and roof racks have been removed. Too cluttered with them on but the body has nice clean flowing lines without them. File:71_Chevrolet_Vega_Kammback_Wagon.jpg But fake woodies were all the rage back then, so they make whatever sells to a public that tends to buy cars with extravagant features :( Stepho (talk) 00:58, 23 April 2011 (UTC) That makes sense. But who wants a banana yellow car? Every time I see a car in that color, I have a Mary Kay Ash moment. In other words, I think to myself, what did that person have to do or sell to get a yellow car?

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Chevrolet Vega. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. In this revision you removed a maintenance template without good reason. Biker Biker (talk) 12:31, 27 April 2011 (UTC) Convert template Using the {{Convert}} template ensures that two key aspects of WP:MOSNUM are complied with - commas in large numbers, and non-breaking spaces between numbers and units of measure. I have therefore reverted your edits which removed the convert template. If you don't understand any aspect of this I would be happy to clarify. --Biker Biker (talk) 07:55, 29 April 2011 (UTC) The ACTUAL sizes of the engines in cc's is not possible with template. factory cubic inches cu in displacement is rounded off.(Barnstarbob (talk)) No edit war please i happen to agree with 842U's edits to the Vega article, it makes it much more succinct and unbiased. If you have any issues please bring it to the article's talk page rather than do a mass revert or engage in an edit war. --Biker Biker (talk) 00:26, 2 May 2011 (UTC) ANI Hello.
