Why do you hate the Z? The car's been announced and yet you keep deleting articles about it. Is someone a little frustrated GM sales and decided to take it out on the imports? 24.114.252.238 ( talk) 04:13, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Greetings, Roguegeek. I agree with you regarding Ford's promo images. Barring any new information, I intend to support your nominations for their deletion, but I can't seem to figure out how to find all of them on the commons. Any advice? — Scheinwerfermann ( talk) 15:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Do you think we should start an RFC? He just went and violated naming convention with a page move, and is still changing proper redirects to piped links like I specifically asked him not to do. This is becoming tiring and I'd rather not sit by and let this disruptive behavior continue. What do you think? -- Sable232 ( talk) 03:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
(<-- indent) I'm just about to try and fix a redirect problem caused by BD's improper page creation and moving ( Valentine (restaurant)). If you do instigate an RFC, you're unlikely to get a ban or block imposed. Obversely however, given his lack of communication in general, you're unlikely to see a change in his behaviour after this long (three years without improvement or appreciation of basic WP guidelines) simply by having someone leave a stern message on his talk page. As a demonstration that you're actually trying to improve his contributions, I'd suggest putting forward a proposal for mentorship or supervision. That way the onus is on him to improve, and it doesn't look like everyone's just ganging up to drive him off WP. -- DeLarge ( talk) 17:40, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Roguegeek, regarding the 2010 redesign/refresh for the fifth-gen Mustang, I think there should be a mention in the section about forthcoming powertrains. There doesn't need to be any mention of specific powertrains, since no one outside of Ford knows for sure what will appear, but it does seem to be widely agreed upon that there will be something new by the 2011 model year (or possibly even mid-year for the 2010 model). As far as truth versus verifiability, I understand the importance of verifiability which is why I referred to the article at AutoBlog (the paragraph after where the upgrades to the 4.6 L V8 are mentioned). The point the author mentioned about the Escape is significant too because the Mustang will be in the same boat; redesigned first with new powertrains a year later (just compare a 2008 Escape to a 2009 one). I could have put additional references but I didn't want to belabor the point. However, for the sake of argument, there's also this article from Motor Trend suggesting Ford's EcoBoost V6 and a new 5.0 L V8, this article from Car and Driver briefly mentioning new engines for 2011 (toward the bottom of the article), and this article from LeftLaneNews from earlier this year featuring spy shots of a Mustang testing a new 5.0 L V8. All of this is also similar to what the insider types say on the automotive forums that I frequent. Now none of these sources may be in agreement as to what exactly Ford will put under the hood of the Mustang after the 2010 model debuts, but they are all in agreement that there will be something new in its near future. As such, I recommend a mention of this situation in the fifth-gen Mustang's article. Also, on a separate note, nice picture additions to the fifth-gen Mustang's article. Do you have a picture of the 2010 Mustang on the way? If not, I'll probably be able to get one because I'll be going to the LAIAS this Sunday. Thanks for your time.-- MN12Fan ( talk) 01:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng { chat} 00:22, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
