Disambiguation link notification for June 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Porsche 911 (classic), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bosch (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Date format

Thank you for you edits to Toyota Supra. May I ask that your references use the same date format as the other references in the article. Thanks.  Stepho  talk  23:51, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Also be aware that common terms do not need to be linked, as per WP:OVERLINK. Which means 'rpm' and 'US' do not need to be linked.  Stepho  talk  23:57, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for you edits to Aston Martin Virage. May I ask that your references use the same date format as the other references in the article. Thanks.  Stepho  talk  21:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

I notice that your edits are improving. Thank you.  Stepho  talk  10:33, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

I second that, good work. Toasted Meter (talk) 04:48, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Overlinking.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In one of your recent edits, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Toasted Meter (talk) 20:47, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Stop with the ridiculous amount of links, you do not need to link common terms and materials, anyone reading about a car should know what rpm means.

And you do not need to add all the information about a motor to the article for a car that uses that motor, that is what links are for, those who want to know the bore and stroke can click on the link. Toasted Meter (talk) 19:33, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Stop linking rpm, I will keep removing it. Toasted Meter (talk) 00:44, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

It is also entirely useless to talk about fractions of horsepower and torque, one or two degrees of temperature change will make way more difference, readers gain no information from precision with no relevance to the real world. Toasted Meter (talk) 04:15, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

You should also not use kgm for anything other than very old vehicles and then only if the source uses them, they are an absolutely useless unit to modern readers. Toasted Meter (talk) 13:25, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Refs go after punctuation, and there should not be a space before a ref. Toasted Meter (talk) 01:46, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Alvarowik, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Holden Monaro have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:22, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Suzuki Swift, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Please read WP:SPS. Open wikis are not reliable sources. Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Overlinking and use of Carfolio.com as source

Your edits contain a heavy amount of overlinking to common terms of understanding. You also stick to only one source and that is carfolio.com. That website does not state reliable figures. It would be recommended if you change your sources to more reliable ones and stop overlinking the articles. U1Quattro (talk) 12:57, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Fractions

Please stop changing decimal measurements to fractions. Fractions are not common usage for these purposes so they should not be appearing in place of the correct decimal figures. Thank you. --Sable232 (talk) 21:43, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

October 2018

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:16, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

STOP OVERLINKING!

Stop overlinking! Just stop it. You were cautioned about this here by User:Toasted Meter, but you continue. At Alfa Romeo V6 engine, you linked Aluminium, carburetors, fuel injection, dealer, and speedometer. You were reverted here by User:Sable232 for linking V8 engine, Octane Gasoline, rpm , and crank. Adding links to everyday words does not improve the article! It junks up the article and makes it harder for Wikipedia's readers to navigate. If English is not your first language, then adding links may not be a type of editing suitable to your skills. Thank you for your understanding. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:33, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

And User:U1Quattro just two weeks ago. You need to start respecting the feedback many editors are giving you. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:35, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

I think he should be warned about not overlinking the articles. This has gone too far in my opinion. He ponders over many pages and overlinks stuff, inserting unreliable sources when sources are already mentioned.U1Quattro (talk) 18:02, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Engine infoboxes and article content

I like your recent work on adding more info to engine infoboxes, and it made me think of something, if technical figures like bore and stroke and compression ratio are in the infobox they could be removed from the main text. What do you think of this? Toasted Meter (talk) 19:00, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Adding this info to the infobox for an individual variant of an engine is good. But should not add it to the summary infobox at the top of an engine family article. At Toyota T engine I added a table covering specs for all variations. Perhaps something along those lines.  Stepho  talk  22:21, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

I agree, for for engines with multiple variants, numbers like displacement should be a range, bore and stroke should be in the individual sections for the variant. Toasted Meter (talk) 23:21, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the metric conversions you have added to many engine articles. However, I would like to repeat my point above. Adding lists of many engine sizes, compression ratios, bore, stroke, etc to a summary box is not useful. Only common stuff goes into the summary box. Details not common to all are much better in the individual infoboxes for each individual engine. Or you could use a range (eg 1,1150-1,858 cc) for some cases.

Also putting an image of the Toyota logo in the |name= field of the infobox makes it hard for reader software for sight impaired readers.  Stepho  talk  20:46, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Fractions, again

Alvarowik, you have been asked before to stop changing decimal measurements to fractions, as it is not the proper way to display bore and stroke figures on Wikipedia. You have not heeded that request, as evidenced by this edit to Buick V6 engine. Please stop doing this. --Sable232 (talk) 16:43, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

@Sable232: I have been asking him to do the opposite. Is there a conversation somewhere? Especially with older US engines, they were designed with fractions.  Mr.choppers | ✎  15:15, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Diesel fuel

Hello Alvarowik,

please note that the "fueltype" field is supposed to contain information on the fueltype a certain engine model is designed for. Currently, there is no field to put the operating principle, so we cannot add that yet. Just putting the term "Diesel" linked to the Diesel engine article into the fueltype field does not describe the fueltype properly. Unless specified, I recommend you simply don't add anything there. Best, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 19:31, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Engine names

Hi, pls look this conversation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles#engine_names , rgds -->Typ932 ^T·C 06:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm going to make the same point. Edits like this are unacceptable. We not only do not use logo icons instead of text, per MOS:ICON, but using copyright logos like that is a violation of the non-free content criteria. These must be removed immediacy. Do such, or I will file a report to have you blocked. oknazevad (talk) 06:31, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

About putting logos in infiboxes

(consider this as an extension to the previous section) Dear user Alvarowik, Thanks for your recent edits! I, however, want to inform you about something. Do NOT add company logos on engine infoboxes. The average reader can understand the company's name by just reading the engine's name. (example: it is not needed to add the PSA (peugeot) logo to an engine manufactured by PSA, it is self-explanatory that it can't be manufactured by GAZ or other companies, unless otherwise noted.) If you have something to say or discuss about this, feel free to enter the link that a fellow member of Wikiproject Automobiles sent in the previous section (i am also a member) to go to our talk page and post it. Thanks for the understanding, Enivak (talk) 11:01, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
