Thanks for your message. I'm afraid I know very little about Macs and their foibles. I have looked at the source code of the Maruti Suzuki article, and I couldn't find anything unusual about it. I also used two different PCs to display the article itself, using the Internet Explorer browser, and it displayed okay. The problem you're experiencing may be with your browser rather than with your Mac. You might therefore want to try downloading either a different browser, or the latest version of your current browser, to see whether that fixes the problem. Meanwhile, I note your interest in Japanese cars. I'm not all that interested in them myself (although my first two cars were Hondas). However, I remember photographing a few on a visit to Japan about 10 years ago, and I must get round to uploading the pictures to commons some time. I've also got some pictures of Marutis and other Indian cars taken in India - I've already uploaded one of them, but it's a Mumbai taxi, which is basically a Fiat design. Regards, Bahnfrend (talk) 05:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- I figured as much, thanks for looking into it! And yes, please upload all of them photos! I'll be happy to edit them for you if you're not interested in photoshop fiddling, just upload them the way they are. Thanks, cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 16:50, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
- I am also an Apple user and have noticed the same thing. I am using Chrome as browser. Seems strange to have lingered on this long, and it applies to all articles with infoboxes I view (so my guess is there must be an issue with the infobox code). OSX (talk • contributions) 23:36, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay, here's a photo of an intersection in Old Delhi with a Maruti featuring prominently. I think you could probably copy the photo, crop the copy, and use the cropped copy to illustrate a Maruti article. I'll leave it up to you to identify the Maruti. I believe it's a Maruti 1000, but I'm not sure whether it's also an Esteem. Either way, the infobox doesn't have an image of it, so I also suspect that this is the first commons image. It turns out that I didn't have as many suitable Japanese photos as I previously thought, but I'll soon be uploading one of a Nissan President 250 with rectangular headlights (also not yet in commons), which I suspect will need a bit of sharpening. Bahnfrend (talk) 16:17, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
- Super! The Maruti is the 2004-2007 facelift model, it received the Chang'an Suzuki Lingyang's headlights, taillights, and bumpers. I'll go ahead and extract it. Mmmmm.... President. Mr.choppers | ✎ 11:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- It also has the update model's spoiler. Anyway, the picture I originally thought was of a Nissan President is actually a Toyota Century. Still, big, luxurious and rare, though. The image is not a particularly good one, but you may be able to improve it somewhat. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:50, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hallo Bahnfrend, and thanks. Please keep sharing. Sadly the (awesome) VG40 has aftermarket wheels on it so it won't be very useful for our purposes here. Good spotting, though! Mr.choppers | ✎ 05:53, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently edited the Toyota LiteAce and TownAce pages. For a while now I have been pondering about what to do with them. There seems to be a lot of overlap so do you think there is a case to combine the two? Cheers, OSX (talk • contributions) 09:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yes and no. They develop in parallel, but always very differently until the introduction of the current generation which seems to be just a badge difference - but I don't know much about the most recent one. The original one only shared the doors and some underlying metalwork, having different tread and wheelbases as well. I'd lean towards leaving as is for now. Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:16, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- Ok. I have looked into this more. What I see are two distinct lines similar to narrow- and wide-body Camrys. We have the M-Series (M10, M20, M30) and then the R-Series (R10, R20/R30, R40/R50). I have created a proposal at User:OSX/Toyota LiteAce. Please tell me what you think. You will notice that most of the models overlap: exceptions are the original models (R10 and M10) which as you said share some componentry anyway (e.g doors). The 1982–1992 R20/R30 (Toyota MasterAce equivalent) is the only other exception—only with the major facelift (rebodied) version in 1992 did the LiteAce re-merge with the TownAce. OSX (talk • contributions) 05:37, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Lovely. That is very clear and also clarifies how the anomalous TownAce truck is an M-chassis model (of which I was hitherto unaware). Toyota's light truck lines may rival Mitsubishi's naming practices for absolute confusion. I fully support a merger into such an article, although I am missing all of the content from Toyota MasterAce (which is called the H-series - if one is to believe that article). I fondly remember this vehicle as the Toyota Model F, and also remember my surprise at finding out that not everyone called it that... I am also missing whatever Daihatsu Delta content I had added to the various "stem" articles, but these are minor and easily rectifiable niggles while the structure of your proposal is very sound looking. Go Bold. Mr.choppers | ✎ 06:08, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Nice. I've just added a timeline. Do you think this is too confusing? Obviously it's a work-in-progess so for now I have only touched on Japanese market models badged Toyota. Other markets need to be added, along with the Daihatsu Delta rebadge. Not sure why the Toyota MasterAce page uses codes like YH51, in Australia the Tarago (MasterAce) used codes like YR22RG (and JDM only used YR20G). The Tarago was an extremely popular car in the 1980s and 1990s. The original version that liked to hop around all over the road at speed sold over 100,000 here. When the Estima arrived in 1990 this became our new Tarago and these were far superior in every way (except for the
dangerousfun at-the limit handling). These 1990s cars are still quite common out in the suburbs, but the originals are increasingly a rarity nowadays. OSX (talk • contributions) 07:34, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

- Cool. I don't know why it says H, I will do some archeology to try and find out.
- It was added by someone named TruckMatt a long time ago - I can't find any supporting evidence and would recommend removing the H-series codes for now. US market "vans" are also coded "R". Btw, the "wonderwagon" name was just a nickname used in some advertising and shouldn't really be used as an offical name for the US Van. Mr.choppers | ✎ 22:07, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- The YH51 was a Hiace van with 3Y engine sliding side door, seating for 9 people (as opposed to 3 or 15). Only sold in S.Africa from June 1983 onwards. The YH61 is a Hiace with 3Y engine, long van body for 3 people. I don't have records of the YH53/63/71/73 but they follow the same pattern. In short, that editor confused the Hiace with the Tarago.

Hello Mr.choppers. I have rephrased large parts of the work I had earlier stolen from Toyota's historians and made various other changes. Considering the original articles were incomplete with missing generations, I have salvaged whatever I could from LiteAce, TownAce, and MasterAce and submitted my proposal from October linked above as the actual article located at Toyota LiteAce. I have hidden the plagiarised information that has yet to be reworded as per Wikipedia policy.

Greetings again. No I am not ivan and I also own a RK45 and an admin on the Facebook group, anyway the hilux is the successor of the lite stout RK43, RK41 US spec and not the "full" stout RK100, RK101. There was only two main production runs of the lite stout, with and without cab extension production ending 7/1965 when it seems as if the chassis/frame manufacturing equipment was relocated to south Africa and the RK44 stallion/stout commenced production with various variations in engine that continued into the early 70's. The hilux as I understand was built as a more luxurious upgrade of the lite stout and I know this is a bold statement but post 7/1967 lite stout such as the odd one that pops up here in Australia might have been assembled in south Africa on chassis/frames made there but the rest of the components were still being made in Japan as knock down units based off the RK101 face lift and not that of the RK100 Whysmee (talk) 00:41, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hey Whysmee, I think you ought to read things more carefully. A guy named Ivan thought I ran the FB group, and I suggested that perhaps it was you - it seems I was correct. As for the rest of your comment, it's an interesting speculation but again would need sourcing before it could be added to the page. Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 13:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
In reference to the hilux being successor, the description of the hilux on toyotas own 75 years of toyota, states that the hilux succeeded the light stout, something that is also stated on the hilux wiki chronology predecessor light stout (stout)Whysmee (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Sorry yet again for my annoyance, I just noticed that the separate wiki for the lite/light stout no longer exists, it was blank anyway and only linked back to the main page. What I was wondering is it worth separating lite/light stout models within there own page article and the models of them such as the US spec and the south African stallion, as there is much confusion between the two and many are confused and do not understand the structural difference. So a separate sub section just on the lite light stout models RK40, 41, 43 and the ZA RK44 stallion, plus an interesting item popped up recently on Flickr a 1968 lite stout advertisementWhysmee (talk) 22:43, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker) "The Truth about Cars" does not sound like a website that is likely to be reliable. Regardless, it doesn't verify the claims at all - in fact, it verifies the exact opposite, if you read the article writer's replies in the comments. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- And given that the website's FAQ says "Back in the day, Robert Farago was a freelance writer living in the UK. After Autocar blacklisted the auto writer for slating then Editor-In-Chief Steve Sutcliffe (for boasting about driving a Lamborghini with his eyes closed), Farago started posting rants on www.pistonheads.com. Despite (or because of) Fahrenheit 451 temp replies, he created a regular series called “The Truth About Cars.” When Farago moved to the U.S., he started TTAC." amongst other things, I'm even more dubious of its reliability. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:56, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- In what way is TTAC not a reliable source? It's affiliated with AutoGuide.com (VerticalScope Inc), has a genuine editorial team, etc. What is so bad about the FAQ? Farago is a journalist who lost his job for condeming his old boss for driving with his eyes closed and then created his own publication (people start there own ventures all the time; just because the publication is not decades old does not make it unreliable). Lastly, the TTAC website doesn't even mention the Lucerne as being body-on-frame. The IP is a troll. Revert and move on. OSX (talk • contributions) 01:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

I don't know if there's some sort of personal issue on your part, but I've noticed you seem to be going out of your way, to revert photo edits I have made that seem to be based on 'personal feelings' rather than actual Wikipedia violations. As someone who is doing such things, I'd expect the person in question to be following Wikipedia guidelines to the utmost. Immediately, I realized you have not followed essential Wikipedia guidelines, on any of the occasions I've seen you revert edits. Viewing the [Resolution] page on Wikipedia, it quite clearly states: To help other editors understand the reasoning behind your edits, always explain your changes in the edit summary. If an edit is too complex to explain in an edit summary, or the change is contentious, add a section to the talk page that explains your rationale. Be prepared to justify your changes to other editors on the talk page. If you are reverted, continue to explain yourself; do not start an edit war. Vague comments like "better photo for main infobox" and "please stop adding lamp photos," does not follow the clear guidelines of always explaining your changes in the edit summary and if an edit is too complex to explain in an edit summary, or the change is contentious, add a section to the talk page that explains your rationale. The notion that your revisions are based on either personal vendetta or personal feelings, are further made valid by the fact many many other editors have also made changes in the articles that you made reverts to, and none of them had any issues with the changes I made. Even taking all of that out of the equation, the fact that you did not follow the Wikipedia guidelines of clearly explaining your reverts, is enough justifications for this course of action. Please explain yourself, whatever issues you may have, and supposedly what I am doing wrong which includes whatever Wikipedia policies I'm not adhering to. Thanks. --Khemistry (talk) 03:09, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- I disagree, and would like you to re-read what Stepho wrote on your talkpage here: User_talk:Maryland_Pride#Toyota_lead_images. Bold, revert, discuss - but you simply restored your photos immediately. And once it has been explained to you why your edits are altered it seems pointless to explain it over and over again as you keep continuing to make the same kind of problem edits. Most of your photos are not of very high quality, strange angles and lots of glare and other distractions. See WP:CARPIX, resolution is not the only thing. You will notice that I too take lots of photos, but when I change the photo in an article it is not exclusively to add one that I took myself. You, it seems, are only here to add your own photos. That other editors have made edits without reverting yours means nothing, even outright vandalism (I don't consider you a vandal) often goes unnoticed for weeks and even years.
- And yes, when I realized that you were going around changing good high quality images for much lower quality efforts of your own across the board, I did walk after you to clean up. For the good of everyone, except perhaps your own ego. Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:42, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Mr. Choppers, Just wanted to hear your thoughts on a merger between the Chevrolet Colorado and the Isuzu D-Max. From the best that I can gather, the only reason these articles are split is because of location. Regards, VX1NG (talk) 14:53, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- Although it would be a big job, I support a merger of the two. I get the impression that Isuzu did most of the design for both generations, albeit using GM platforms. The original series was released as an Isuzu in 2002, GM did not start producing the North American models until 2004. It should be noted, the USA models share very few parts:
Originally planned as a joint venture with Isuzu, and sharing some common architecture with Isuzu's D-Max pickup, the Shreveport-built Colorado-and its stablemate, the GMC Canyon-has morphed through the R&D stages into its own unique entity. The only parts the new Chevy shares with the D-Max are the transfer case and dash-mounted 4WD pushbutton panel. (The D-Max, built in Thailand, isn't offered for sale in North America.) — Four Wheeler
- For the second generation Chevy Colorado, General Motors do Brasil did the GM-isation of the D-Max for Asia and South America .
- Therefore, I propose Isuzu D-Max as the head article, which would encompass:
- First generation:
- Chevrolet Colorado (Asian/South American version; a rebadged D-Max)
- Chevrolet Colorado (North American version; a derivative of D-Max that appears to be almost identical but enlarged in size—has otherwise the same appearance, doors, body, interior)
- GMC Canyon (North American version; a rebadged Chevrolet Colorado)
- Isuzu i-Series (North American version; a rebadged Chevrolet Colorado)
- Isuzu MU7 (Asian/South American SUV version; a wagon version of the pickup)
- First generation:
- Second generation:
- Chevrolet Colorado (Asian/South American version; a rebadged D-Max with different front and rear styling)
- Chevrolet Colorado (North American version; a derivative of the Asian/South American Colorado that has revised front styling and a new interior)
- GMC Canyon (North American version; a rebadged Chevrolet Colorado)
- Isuzu MU-X (Asian/South American SUV version; a wagon version of the pickup)
- Chevrolet TrailBlazer (Asian/South American SUV version; a wagon version of the pickup)
- Second generation:

When you are having a problem like this, please make a comment on the user's talk page. Simply adding something like {{subst:uw-v1|}} to the IPs talk page helps move the situation towards resolution. There is a list of the various different ones at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. The editor has to edit after receiving a "4" or "4im" warning in order to be blocked. More information on their use can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject User warnings/Usage and layout. — Makyen (talk) 02:14, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know and thank you. But of course, this editor just hops between ip's so it seems to make no difference. Mr.choppers | ✎ 11:54, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Editors like this one have a "signature" to their edits. Once they are blocked and then avoid the block by switching IP addresses, it is much faster to get any new IP address blocked. With a defined signature, a "4im" can be placed on the IP address and the address immediately reported as avoiding the block. This, obviously, requires that the edits have some kind of identifiable signature so it is possible to say "This new IP is the same person as this other one which was blocked. Usually they have a limited pool of IP addresses from which they can draw. The IP addresses almost always come from a single provider, which further identifies that the person on the IP is the same one as the one avoiding a block.
- Yes, doing so is a bit more work. However, it should be only a few mouse clicks and a copy & paste or two to drop the templates onto their talk page and report them, when appropriate. Yeah, it can be that it just forces them to put out more effort to change their IP, which they may or may not know how to intentionally do.
- On the other hand, not doing so probably keeps them on a single IP address for longer. This might make it easier to watch the contributions of the IP address for reversion.
- Yet another side of it is that the edits of this particular IP were not unequivocally vandalism. The changes to the images would be more classified as a content dispute than anything. In such case you have to go back to relying on them violating WP:3RR, which this editor appeared more than willing to do. — Makyen (talk) 20:08, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Mr. Choppers, I seem to have run into a little dilemma. I had proposed to have the information at GM Family II engine moved to General Motors Ecotec engine per WP:commonname "...the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred". However, I was unable to get a consensus to move it within the needed time and I was wondering if you could weigh in on the subject. Thanks, VX1NG (talk) 12:41, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- I honestly am entirely confused by all of these engine names - and I am probably not alone. Since GM uses "ECOtec" for a huge number of engines, I also understand the reluctance to name it thusly. Also, GM Family II was supposedly introduced in 1994 - but the article mentions nothing from before 2000? Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:53, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
- I understand the reluctance to use "ECOtec" but from all the sources I have come across that is the actual name of the engine family. Currently, the information at GM Family II engine covers the Ecotec engine family, introduced around 2000 features an all-new aluminum block, with an aluminum cylinder head with DOHC driven by a timing chain and dual balance shafts. The GM Family II engines are currently found at Opel Family II engine, they were introduced in the late 1970s, have a cast iron block, aluminum cylinder heads with either a belt driven SOHC or DOHC setup. If I understood the story correctly the GM Family II engine was used as the basis for the Ecotec engine family; however due to the extensiveness of the changes and the evolution of the design it is considered its own engine family. Reflecting back I should have moved the Ecotec engine family information out of the GM Family II engine article instead of moving the GM Family II engine information to Opel Family II engine. I hope that explains everything and I apologize for the inconvenience, I was just trying to end the confusion. Thanks, VX1NG (talk) 11:55, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
- I see, and I feel safe deferring to (read: supporting) you on this. Perhaps a nifty little chart at the list of GM engines page would be useful, and might also help engender further support for you view. Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:51, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
| Name | Years | Displacement Range | Valvetrain | Block Material | Camshaft actuation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ecotec engine family | 2000-present | 2.0 - 2.5 L | DOHC | Aluminum | Chain |
| Family II engines | 1979-present | 1.3 - 2.4 L | SOHC/DOHC | Cast iron | Belt |
| Family 1 engines | 1993?-present | 1.4 - 1.8 L | SOHC/DOHC | Cast iron | Belt |
| Family 0 engines | 1996-present | 1.0 - 1.4 L | DOHC | Cast iron | Chain |
- That helps me get a handle on things! Question: the 1389cc four is listed on both Family 1 and Family II (with the same bore/stroke) - what makes it one or the other? Which came first? It seems that Opel's engines were developed in a very gradual fashion, making it hard to group them in any reasonable way. The CIH begat the OHC which begat the Family engines and so on. Do the "Family" names denote size or are they chronological? Thanks for all the clarifications. Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:16, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- From the best I can discern, when Family II engines added DOHC, the DOHC medium-displacement versions become their own separate engine family; Family I. However, there seems to be a significant dearth of information on the Family I engines, so that is just a theory. I do not know what the "Family" names denote my guess is relative size, but I have been wrong before. And thank you for lending an ear to this engine mess. Regards, VX1NG (talk) 16:51, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

- Yes, it's a mess. Not your fault, obviously! There seems to be a real dearth of information on 1980s and 1990s GM Europe engines - I have all the tech specs in catalogs etcetera, but very little text or explanations of relationships. The German Opel engine entries are very limited, only available for a few engines such as the Opel X16SZ. I assume you have explored the Italian "Motori Opel" category? The Italian editors are really good at engines and I often base my research on their efforts (if I don't just translate it directly). Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 16:59, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
According to the Italians, the "Opel OHC" engine (from 1977 on) was complemented by the 1.8 and up Family II from 1986 (which largely replaced the CIH). The OHC range was modified and turned into the "Family 1" in 1996, and also replaced some of the lower range of the Family II. It seems that the little 1.4 and 1.6 motors shouldn't be on the Family II page, but I dunno for sure. Mr.choppers | ✎ 17:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, now things are starting to make more sense! Everything I read on the Family II engines only mentioned 1.8 - 2.4 L displacements but when I searched for "Opel OHC engine" all the sub-1.8 L engines also appeared and they look very similar to the Family II engines. I think the Italian editors have the some of the major missing pieces to this engine puzzle! Thanks!! VX1NG (talk) 17:34, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- I split out the sub-1.8 L engines into their own article Opel OHC engine, now the similarities between those engines and GM Family 1 engine are really starting to be apparent. Regards, VX1NG (talk) 18:39, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- Great! Although I included the 1796cc engine (84.8 x 79.5 mm) as well. I have a feeling it doesn't actually belong on the Family II page. Also, the Italians have different bore/stroke for the 1.6, I will try to verify this. Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Another snag, in the engine puzzle! This page (http://media.gm.com/media/de/de/opel/company_opel/Werke/Kaiserslautern.html) states that the 1.8 L is a Family II engine. I am going to continue searching to see if I can confirm this. Regards, VX1NG (talk) 04:45, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
- Wow! And it states that production (of 1.8 and 2.0) began in 1981 - which is unlikely, considering that the 1998cc engine didn't arrive 'til 1984, I reckon. That is a pretty reliable source, but it still feels weird to group together engines without common bores or strokes. Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:37, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- The 1.8 for sure, it appeared in the Manta B2 in May 1982. The 2.0 was later, AFAIK. Mr.choppers | ✎ 03:07, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm happy you are a great contributor, and that you delete a lot of vandalism from unknown IPs, as I do when I saw them. You undid my revision on this page and I can't figure it. It's aimed to make this brand present on this page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Luxury_brands in the same way it' in this category : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Luxury_motor_vehicle_manufacturers
So, to be consistent we have to choose between no category at all, or both. In my POV, as Chrysler produced Luxury vehicules (From the article itself : "Product line Chrysler: Luxury sedans, convertible, and minivan " I do think it worth its place in the Luxury vehicules and brands Categories. You could also argue about many other brands I don't personnaly consider as Luxury in the luxury vehicules and brands categories, like Citroen and Volvo.
In a word, I think it's safer to let Chrysler in both categories and let readers agree or not about this, rather than making it non visible and not allowing readers to think of.

The fact was ... that the Marcos GT (pictured) had a plastic body, a wooden chassis, and a cast-iron engine? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marcos GT. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hello. You've blanked the page Vauxhall Viva, and I've reverted the blanking for now. If there was a reason for it, feel free to revert my edit. Regards. KJ Discuss? 01:15, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, the page was incorrectly (IMHO) moved and so I blanked this entry in order to move the original content back. However, that didn't work, and I am afraid that I forgot to restore the content. Sorry and thanks. Mr.choppers | ✎ 23:46, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey,
I am really risen to the point when you reverted my edit on *File:2009 Mercedes CLK Class.jpg. I mean that was a good quality image and that i took it well but you had no right whatsoever to revert my edit on that. If you wanted to revert this image firstly you needed to talk to me on my talk page and discuss what the problem is. I am going to soon delete this image off wikipedia. I thought that image was a good quality image because I did follow WP:CarPix and inserted the image. In retaliation I removed another of what you inserted.
Please give me a good reason why you reverted my edit.

- Whooa there. First of all, we don't "retaliate". Secondly, your photo is not of a CLK DTM and therefore doesn't belong in that section. Thirdly, deleting your pictures just because they are not in use in an article is not really an option - once you upload a picture with a free license you have given it away and it is no longer yours. Same with "my" photos, they don't belong to me. Take a chill pill and familiarize yourself with WP:ETIQ. Mr.choppers | ✎ 06:54, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- Also Nim, no need to be so concerned that if you upload an image that it must be inserted into an article. Considering how many images exist on the Wikimedia Commons of a given car (generally speaking), there is only a small chance that an image will be the best available. If it's not the best, it remains on Commons. There is no need to delete it. OSX (talk • contributions) 06:58, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
OK, the caption was an error. What I really mean't was *File:2009 Mercedes CLK Class.jpg in my subtitle [2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK 350 (Australia)] and I made a slight error as I was distracted. I have instead replaced it with *File:2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK350.jpg as it looks a good image compared to mine. I might've removed the earlier pic but I like the one that I have inserted. It belongs touser:IFCAR

It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
Hey,
Concerning with the photo you reverted *File:2009 Mercedes CLK Class.jpg onto the article Mercedes CLK class. You said you reverted it because it was a DTM. I made a stupid error when I subtitled it. Could you please have a look through and tell me, if the picture is good quality and if it is could you insert it. Nim Bhharathhan (talk) 01:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
