Thank you for starting this entry. It needed doing. However, both Hungarian wiki and German wiki indicate that they went on producing the Ikarus 256 till 2002. And Hungarian wiki indicates they started producing it in 1974. And Polish wiki appears to think something different again. I cannot tell where they get that from. But do you have a source for writing that it was produced only from 1977 till 1989, please? If your copy of Werner Oswald's book is dated 2000, then sadly he cannot tell us about 2002. (Even more sadly, I do not have a copy of it.) Thank you and regards Charles01 ( talk) 17:02, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello Davey2010, I wonder why you have decided to replace a decent image with another photo that is worse (in my opinion). The one that you have chosen over the previous one depicts the bus with a "cleaner" background as well as the bus's door-side, however, the image looks slightly distorted (the photographer stood too close to the object), the resolution is much lower, there are clearly visible compression artefacts (especially visible around the headlamps), and the white-balance is off (the white parts look overexposed, especially visible around the rear wheel). My photo on the other hand was taken from a distance, which makes the bus appear much more like a human would perceive it. The white balance is better, and you can see more details (for instance: headlamps, front wheel, tyres). It was not taken from the door-side, nonetheless, the front doors are visible. Background-wise, mine could be described as poor (the background is busy), but I'd say that my image depicts the bus realisticly: Sitting in a bus park at a bus station. Reflection-wise, the two photos are not too much apart – on mine, you can see a tree in the panes, on the current one, another bus is visible on the blue part of the paint (take a closer look at the bus's back).

I've added all of those that show the sliding door,
So out of M, A, D and N I still believe A is the best one, Hope this helps. Thanks, – Davey2010 Talk 18:11, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
This bus has been identified by the photographer and classified as an Ikarus 256. But I'm not sure that's right. I've raised the question here. Maybe the image file needs to be reclassified. (And maybe the picture does not belong so easily on the Ikarus 256 page.) It would be helpful if you could take time out to see if you agree or disagree with my tentative conclusions on this. Thank you. Charles01 ( talk) 13:44, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
