Userboxes

Hi, I noticed you're just using the indented list feature for userbox placement so I thought I'd direct you here, where you can see a lot of the different better ways to place and customise userboxes, such as with templates, etc. +Hexagon1 03:13, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

The article Carbontech has been speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Misplaced Pages. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:10, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

SEAT Cupra GT

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of SEAT Cupra GT, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/concept_cars/seat_cupra_GT.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of SEAT Cupra GT

A tag has been placed on SEAT Cupra GT requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. -- ] (] · ]) 17:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Seat Cupra GT track.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Seat Cupra GT track.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Ivan Hrvatska

I have nominated Ivan Hrvatska, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ivan Hrvatska. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I reverted flags you added, give your opinion here Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Automobiles rgds --Typ932 09:28, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the star --Typ932 06:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Titin

As discussed endlessly on the Talk:Titin page, including a non-word in the titin article is non-encyclopedic. I therefore have reverted your edit. Boghog2 (talk) 08:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the star

thanks mate! AniRaptor2001 (talk) 01:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Please update your status with WP:VG

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Misplaced Pages in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

• Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
• Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

re: Hi

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I don't contribute here much. Thanks for commenting! Actually I was a little disappointed at first that I couldn't have more userboxes.... but then realized I had more than enough :) L☺g☺maniac chat? 16:58, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

re your signature

Hi Pineapple fez - I was wondering if you'd mind changing your signature? It seems to be linked to Pineapple Fez instead of your user/talk page (User:Pineapple fez / User talk:Pineapple fez). Also, the only pictures that should be used in sigs are unicode ones (eg. Miscellaneous Symbols), as using image files can apparently cause server slowdown. Sadly, there is currently no representation of a fez, although unicode does have, for some reason, an astoundingly wide range of triangles, arrows and stars ♈ --Kateshortforbob _talk 10:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I came here intending to ask the same thing. Misplaced Pages:Signatures requires that a user's signature should link to their userpage or talkpage, if not both. This is to make communication easier. There are also multiple problems with using an image in your signature, as described here. Please try to get your signature fixed as soon as possible. ≈ Chamal  ¤ 11:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the tips guys, I will change it now. (I'll just leave the signature out for this one :P)

It's not fixed yet. It still points to the wrong page. - DustFormsWords (talk) 08:02, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I just noticed and fixed it. Thanks! --Pineapple Fez 08:30, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Elfin Sports Cars

Notice you've been doing some work relating to Elfins, and I've been wondering about trying to get hold of some information about Elfin Formula Vees. There have been several designs. The Formula Vee and the New Generation both get a mention but until recently the Crusader did not. Wanting to know when Crusaders were made, but also Elfin built a few Vees in a brief period of contested ownership after Cooper died and before Elliot took control. I think there are three such cars which, because of the contested ownership, and the wishes of Elliott, they are not refered to as Elfins. CAMS CoD rather idiotically today refers to them as HFVs (Historic Formula Vee). Wondered if you knew anything about either these the third and fourth generations of Elfin Vees. --Falcadore (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry :( I don't know much about any of the Elfin Formula Vees and a google search didn't seem to help but give a few drivers' names. I haven't seen any either, which doesn't help. I have only seen the 00s Elfins (MS8 Clubman and Streamliner, Type 3 Clubman and the Type 5 Clubman). Good luck in your research though! --Pineapple Fez 05:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

for the award :-). Cheers, ZooFari 15:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Another gentle ping from WP:VG

Dear Pineapple fez,

You are receiving this message because either ] or {{User WPVG}} is somewhere in your userspace, and you are currently listed in the "Unknown" section on the project's member list.

The member list is meant to provide a clearer picture of active membership. It is recommended that you update your status if you plan to regularly:

• Edit video game-related pages in the Article namespace
• Participate in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Members listed in the "Unknown" section will be removed from the membership list and category at the end of January 2010. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Doking XD

Calibration? Where do you get that from? Web search for the phrase comes up with nothing. - Stillwaterising (talk) 22:06, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong word. I meant collaboration, from THIS source. I have just changed it.--Pineapple Fez 22:32, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

I asked my dad a retired automotive engineer and he hadn't heard of it either. - Stillwaterising (talk) 23:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Toyota Camry Hybrid

Hi. I though you might be interested in participation in this discussion Talk:Toyota Camry Hybrid#Restoring_this_article. There is a user that wants to merge all hybrid model specific articles with the article of the main model.-Mariordo (talk) 16:32, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
