Hi Nimbus, I didn't understand why you reduced the proper informations I HUMBLY added to the voice (which seems written by some Mercedes 'public relations and press guy', trying to hide the 'competition' with BMW (in fact more a positive emulation, being the BMW based on the same scheme of the Mercedes and the evolution of the Mercedes on the innovations introduced by BMW :-) ) The whole chronological sequence of events is largely ignored by the page, not to mention the embarrassing mistakes I've found also on the German pages of the engines. I would like to stimulate a deepening of this intriguing history (as any of the developement of things in general and of these engines in particular and how and how much wars did stimulate a REAL innovation and breaking technical prejudges encouraging (yes, 'giving courage'!) both the technicians and the decisors/financiers to support this courage, this researches, these jumps, because we do need nowadays still that courage to stop to make 'cosmetic innovation' instead to a concrete, useful for anyone of us rethought of obsolete schemes (and just the engines are the best example: one century ago already SOHC, 4 valves... ) Well, help me to improve instead to 'revert' to a less complete information, I mean while thanking you for the attention you gave me :-) -- GianMarco Tavazzani ( talk) 09:16, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Way back when, in early 2009, you edited the specs section of this engine to read " 680 hp (507 kW) " ?
Is this credible for the Jaguar I ? or any other version of it, come to that ?

You reverted an edit that included the convert template. Please explain as there are many people to whom horsepower is no longer used. Avi8tor ( talk) 14:39, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi
I noticed you are a facilitator of the aircraft engine taskforce. I would be prepared to help if it is useful but I know next to nothing about editing.
On the other hand a know a lot about aircraft engines. Degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering. I started my career with RR aircraft engines in the UK in 1978 and since 1986 I have been with GE Aviation. I spent 25 years in design engineering and led a large chunk of the design team. Then I was the GE90 program leader for 7 years, and then the LEAP program leader for 5 years, and today I am the leader of GE Aviation in front of Airbus.
Let me know if I can assist. Thanks Jetlife2 ( talk) 10:21, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Nimbus227, I noticed you keep reverting my changes, which I am sure you have a reasonable explanation for. I am merely trying to update the page to reflect current information since the page as it stands is extremely outdated. I am committed to the integrity of Wikipedia as an entity and will be referencing all changes, if you would just let me.

I saw your post to the Wikiproject Motorcycling and just wondered if you knew when Amal Mk2 carburettors were introduced (presumably pre-1976, as were supposedly used on a racing triple in 1976). The Amal site doesn't have any history that I can see ( homepage, Mk2 page). Thx.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 15:03, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
