All the sources I have read on Joseph-Armand Bombardier indicate that he was entirely well and self-taught! If he was a doctor I would like to know what kind, at the very least!! AlainV 02:49, 2004 Mar 11 (UTC)
Dumb, uni-lingual American here. Heard the name of the company founded by Mr. Bombardier pronounced on a national network as "bom-ba-DEER." Is this the correct pronunciation?
The above two statements regarding the pronunciation are NOT accurate. I have read his biography and I am related to Bombardier.
Bom‧bar‧dier [bom-bahr-dyey] Is the correct pronunciation. (I also have a last name of the same origin). The "dier" in French is pronounced "dyey". The alternate pronunciation is [bom-ber-deer]
So... in plain he seems to have been a self-taught engineer who hasn't invented something that wasn't done before - so much for his 'dream' of making the vehicle that floats on snow - but who had the inspiration and the lack of scrupuls to get subventions and merge with companies that were actually making something. And the new and improved company doesn't get a good/innovative rating anywhere I look. Just problems with subventions, bad manufacturing, bad design. I would not doubt if there would be problems with the intelectual piracy as well. 82.240.243.35 00:26, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Just a comment, this page is very hard to read. It is a word wall I guess. I am thinking about adding sections to make it easier to read.-- Gordonrox24 ( talk) 21:48, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
It also has Very little information on his personal life-- Gordonrox24 ( talk) 23:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
I have copy and pasted this whole page into a user subpage. I will fix it up, then see what people think.-- Gordonrox24 ( talk) 20:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I had to Propose this for deletion. I don't have the extra time to clean it up, and nobody else is willing. No references or sources. Maybe once it is gone somebody will care.-- gordonrox24 ( talk) 23:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
I understand that. You can very easily remove the tag, or add the hangon tag and volia, the article is still up and running. I am now very happy with the article. I did not plan to cause all of this trouble, I am happy I put the tag up. Look at the drastic improvements made. I would like to thank everybody that added citations, sections, further reading, and new references very much.-- gordonrox24 ( talk) 12:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
I fail to see how it was inappropriate, as it was a completely unreferenced or cited article. Is just so happened that by placing the PROD tag, the article got fixed.--

Is proposing an article with no sources references or any other citations Template abuse? No. It is informing people that an article is not in a good enough state to be allowed on Wikipedia.--

I find it very naive of you to judge me on one edit. The article is fixed, I have asked for a review to give it a rating.-- gordonrox24 ( talk) 22:16, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
