It seems Mazda no longer sells their compact pickup in Japan (there's no reference to it on their website). -- stewacide, 20:55, 28 July 2004
The top picture on an info box is labelled North American Mazda B, yet this article is about the International Mazda B which is a completely different vehicle.( 82.3.42.90 ( talk) 19:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC))
Why is there not a seperate page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.170.183.146 ( talk) 08:30, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I have just undone the reversion of my recent edits by User:OSX. The reasons are that I had added more information to the article which made it explicable to a wider audience, whereas before it was written with solely North American terms, describing the vehicle only as a pickup truck, a term not used worldwide. As this vehicle is sold worldwide it seems to make sense to include this information. Also this user removed an image I added with no explanation. I added this image as the article showed mostly North American, two wheel drive models and I added an image of an Australian 4 wheel drive model, of which type there was no image in the article previously.

I recently made some edits which added terms that describe this type of vehicle in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, (this information is cited on the page Ute (vehicle)) and added an image of a particular configuration of this type of vehicle not already included in the article. User:NorthBySouthBaranof made edits which included but refined the information I added and retained the image. User:OSX has repeatedly removed this information and the image I added while using emotional language such as "pandering to minority lexicon", whereas I see it as adding information that will help users in countries where the term pickup truck is not used. He has accused me of vandalism and compromising the factual accuracy of the article for adding this information. I would be most grateful for the input of others.

* Comment: Though I agree that the criticisms were off-base, aggressive, and largely irrelevant as stated, I still recommend that you drop it, and possibly make up the deficiency in more appropriate articles. While the duty to include lots of information is my own frequent tune on the harmonium, it is almost as important that the information should be relevant in context. This article deals with particular lines of bakkies, not with bakkies in general, and the international vocabulary for such vehicles is not helpful here; a reader wanting to know what South Africans and Indonesians call utility vehicles is not likely to consult the Mazda article in particular, where such material is parenthetical and of no explanatory value. Such discussion belongs in articles such as those on Utes and Pickups in general, where there is some mention of such terminology, plus cross-linking. If you are concerned with passing on such info I recommend that you make sure it is complete in those articles and in the redirs, hatnotes and disambigs to them, where the information is relevant and helps people unfamiliar with the dominant usages, to find material of value.

* Comment: Agree with JonRichfield, Pickup truck is the most common term, and anyone wishing to find out what that type of vehicle might be known as in their own country should consult that article not this one. It would otherwise be easy to write the varying terms for a wide range of words in the article, bloating it unnecessarily. This is what wikilinks are for.
