Hi Stepho-wrs. I would like to request your input to help resolve an issue that is jeopardazing the Nissan Leaf Good Article review. I rather listen to your opinion before jumping into the discussion. If you are interested in contributing to the discussion please go here.

Would just like to inform you the Green vehicle task force is formed under WP:Project Environment. --- North wiki ( talk) 04:01, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Stepho. I noticed that you created a section for the RAV4 EV Concept in the Toyota concept vehicles, 2010-2019. I believe the concept car denomination is not accurate, instead I believe it is a pre-production car. As with the Prius PHEV, Toyota is calling this EV a demonstration vehicle, see the picture here of the actual description board in the exhibit at the 2011 Washington Auto Show. Also the citations you included, as well as the ones in the corresponding section of the main RAV4 EV article referred to this vehicle as a demonstration vehicle. So I think there is no base nor RS to call this vehicle a concept. For example, in the same show they have the Prius C which Toyota explicitly named as a concept car. Talking to the Toyota people they explained to me that the exhibited Prius C is just a glider, as Toyota has not decided yet of the exact powertrain they will use. On the other hand the Prius V and the RAV4 EV both have a powertrain and the exhibits are part of the development/test mules fleet. And by the way, in the 2011 WAS they wrote Prius C in capital letters (you could see it at least three of the pictures here), but the description table spelled it in small letters. For this one we will have to wait for Toyota to decide on the final spelling. In summary, I believe the section on the RAV4 EV concept should be removed, but it is your call. See around.-- Mariordo ( talk) 16:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Stepho, the revert you just made contradicts the inline reference, which is an official Toyota UK site. Would you mind finding a new reference to correlate the "midship runabout" acronym? I honestly don't remember if there was official literature confirming that over "mid-engine rear-drive two-seater." Bdc101 ( talk) 16:31, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Stepho, User:113.159.107.99, who keeps changing Toyota to Toyopet (good faith, but still aggravating) is now on a mission to change every Nissan Sunny and Bluebird to Datsuns. I'm trying to keep up with him, but he's quite prolific and doesn't read his userpage (or so it seems). Just a heads up. ( contributions) ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃ ( talk) 20:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hmm, now I'm not so sure. The CT140 (with 1C) was available in GX (N-CT140-TEMNS) and EX (N-CT140-TEMES) passenger car trim (ie not taxi) according to a 1982 JDM brochure I have but then disappear from my 1983 and 1984 JDM brochures. According to the parts manual, there was a standard trim for both the CT140 (1C, N-CT140-TEMRS) and the CT141 (2C, Q-CT141-TEMRS) that replaced it (the R near the end means standard). Since the standard trim CT141 lasted into the 1990's, its fair to assume the taxi was based on the standard trim model. But I can't find the source that I used to explicitly label it as a taxi. Which is weird since I don't normally label something unless I have a specific reference that says so. Nor can I find a part of the model code that says either taxi or high roof. I will need to delve further into my archives. Hopefully I have a 1982 brochure for commercial vehicles somewhere in my archives that I misplaced. Stepho ( talk) 00:09, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.
For power users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 18:04, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey, why you revert my edit? If the Land Cruiser 70 is not in the list of Toyota vehicles, then peoples will don't know that the generation is still produced until now. Then, I see the Land Cruiser 70 Series has not any templates on it. I know that we should not put every generation in the list, but, people must know that the vehicle is still produced.

{{
Toyota road cars timeline, 1935-1954}}
, {{
Toyota road cars timeline, 1955-1984}}
and {{
Toyota road cars timeline, 1985-date}}
. I built these based on a late model Japanese market template and never got around to filling in all the American market models. But it suffers from similar problems to {{

in that multiple names are used for the same vehicle in different markets and that "What links here" becomes useless for link maintenance (ie every Toyota article appears to be linked to by every other Toyota article). I also think that massive sideways scrolling of timelines is not the easiest way for readers to see the history - better to present a 20 or 30 year chunk that can be seen in one go. I like timelines on a few key articles (eg
Toyota and
History of Toyota and using categories for navigating between articles (perhaps with
History of Toyota linked in each models 'See also' section.

Wikipedia:MOS#Abbreviations is clear on how to format acronyms: spell out the full term first, then put the acronym in brackets following if you're going to use it again later. If not, then you don't really need to identify the acronym. This is consistent with what other style manuals recommend. You seem to have a different approach. I'm not going to argue with you which is better, because the Wikipedia community and other style manuals have already made up their minds on the question. Is there a reason why Lexus RX (XU30) should use your unique style instead of what the Wikipedia Manual of Style and others recommend? Ground Zero | t 01:46, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Stepho-wrs. Regarding our recent edits about the Prius Plug-in, I wondered if you noticed that the new plug-in will not be produced until 2012, therefore, in this particular case the US 2012 model year coincides with the 2012 calendar year elsewhere, so I think there is no ambiguity about the 2012 model. Furthermore, I understood that when talking about the US market, it is valid to use the term model year, so it is OK to use model year in sections devoted the American market. Am I right?

Hi Stepho. First, thanks for always keeping an eye and fixing my typos and grammar errors. I really appreciate your support to my edits. Second, since the Prius v roll-out in the US already took place, I would like to know your opinion before raising in the talk page the possible discussion about renaming the article as Prius Alpha (based on WP:AUTO guidelines and in lieu of the recent discussion). At the same time, since the Prius is Japanese, shall we create the new article for the baby Prius as Toyota Prius c or Toyota Prius Aqua, as per WP:AUTO it seems it should be the latter. Alternatively, my preference is leave the Prius v as it is, just to avoid the long discussion. With the smaller Prius the article does not exist, so there is choice. Thanks again and best regards.-- Mariordo ( talk) 03:54, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Volkswagen Touran has a safety template now but i just noticed it has a possible 5 stars for pedestrian safety even though 4 is the maximum possible in an NCAP test. Can you fix this and the template(s) for me? Thanks Jenova 20 10:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
|reference_name=xxx
must be unique for each separate reference or the same for each use of the same reference. Basically, all references with the same name will be tied together. Also, the description would be better as the name of the vehicle rather than the type of vehicle. So, 'VW Touran' is better than 'LHD MPV'.

Hi Stepho. Somewhere recently you quoted the BBC as being sticklers for correct use of language. Sadly that hasn't been true for quite a while now. I understand it was because they chose to dispose of their 'unfortunate' élitist image.

Hi Stepho. I noticed that you created a section for the RAV4 EV Concept in the Toyota concept vehicles, 2010-2019. I believe the concept car denomination is not accurate, instead I believe it is a pre-production car. As with the Prius PHEV, Toyota is calling this EV a demonstration vehicle, see the picture here of the actual description board in the exhibit at the 2011 Washington Auto Show. Also the citations you included, as well as the ones in the corresponding section of the main RAV4 EV article referred to this vehicle as a demonstration vehicle. So I think there is no base nor RS to call this vehicle a concept. For example, in the same show they have the Prius C which Toyota explicitly named as a concept car. Talking to the Toyota people they explained to me that the exhibited Prius C is just a glider, as Toyota has not decided yet of the exact powertrain they will use. On the other hand the Prius V and the RAV4 EV both have a powertrain and the exhibits are part of the development/test mules fleet. And by the way, in the 2011 WAS they wrote Prius C in capital letters (you could see it at least three of the pictures here), but the description table spelled it in small letters. For this one we will have to wait for Toyota to decide on the final spelling. In summary, I believe the section on the RAV4 EV concept should be removed, but it is your call. See around.-- Mariordo ( talk) 16:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, now I'm not so sure.

According to the parts manual, there was a standard trim for both the CT140 (1C, N-CT140-TEMRS) and the CT141 (2C, Q-CT141-TEMRS) that replaced it (the R near the end means standard). Since the standard trim CT141 lasted into the 1990's, its fair to assume the taxi was based on the standard trim model. But I can't find the source that I used to explicitly label it as a taxi. Which is weird since I don't normally label something unless I have a specific reference that says so. Nor can I find a part of the model code that says either taxi or high roof.

Heads up—please weigh in at the bottom of this section. Thanks. — Scheinwerfermann T· C 17:18, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Oh, snow worries; I seem to spend more time working on Wikipedia now than before I "retired", which is consistent with the experience of many retirees in meatspace. Please do take a look at the contributions I've made in both the upper and lower sections of the marque/make/brand discussion -- in the upper one I've proposed a convention I think is rather sorely needed, and in the lower one I've provided considerable evidence against the notion that "marque" is not an American term. — Scheinwerfermann T· C 22:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for going further than everyone else combined in Wikiproject Automobiles to create a brilliant set of Euro NCAP templates that are absolutely flawless. Hope to work with you again in future Jenova 20 15:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC) |
You're welcome. Thanks for the barnstar. Stepho talk 21:33, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Stepho-wrs. I noticed that two new Australian electric cars, the Varley EVR450 and the Arcspeed have been announced recently. I keep an updated list of upcoming PEVs at List of modern production plug-in electric vehicles, so I wonder if you can check for me if these are production or concept vehicles, are they really ready to hit the market, is TechVehi a reliable source. Thanks.-- Mariordo ( talk) 03:32, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
I'm posting this message on your talk page because I noticed that you've recently created the new article Toyota Camry (XV50)--The image greatly improves the article.However, I noticed there are some holes that may need filling: the article currently does not have appropriate sections and headings. It would be great if you could also add references to the related article Toyota Motor North America. Jipinghe ( talk) 03:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Stepho. I noticed you put an anchor on the Lone Star Toys page. Could you explain what that does? Thanks. -- Cstevencampbell ( talk) 02:57, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Please see Thank you on WP:Tea. There are other related other Executive Order 13514 articles that can be traced thru Special:Contributions/Arthur Rubin.

Your new templates are combining the references into one for some reason. Can you take a look at the first two tables on the Corsa article and see. Thanks Jenova 20 12:06, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Stepho. First, thanks for always keeping an eye and fixing my typos and grammar errors. I really appreciate your support to my edits. Second, since the Prius v roll-out in the US already took place, I would like to know your opinion before raising in the talk page the possible discussion about renaming the article as Prius Alpha (based on WP:AUTO guidelines and in lieu of the recent discussion). At the same time, since the Prius is Japanese, shall we create the new article for the baby Prius as Toyota Prius c or Toyota Prius Aqua, as per WP:AUTO it seems it should be the latter. Alternatively, my preference is leave the Prius v as it is, just to avoid the long discussion. With the smaller Prius the article does not exist, so there is choice. Thanks again and best regards.-- Mariordo ( talk) 03:54, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Muchas gracias mi amigo! (Gotta love Google translate :) No need for the 17+ part. Thanks. Stepho talk 03:59, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Volkswagen Touran has a safety template now but i just noticed it has a possible 5 stars for pedestrian safety even though 4 is the maximum possible in an NCAP test. Can you fix this and the template(s) for me? Thanks Jenova 20 10:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
|reference_name=xxx
must be unique for each separate reference or the same for each use of the same reference. Basically, all references with the same name will be tied together. Also, the description would be better as the name of the vehicle rather than the type of vehicle. So, 'VW Touran' is better than 'LHD MPV'.

Fair enough on the prices. Have moved the other vehicle body styles back to the appropriate section though as they aren't applicable to the older models as far as i'm aware, and even if they were then the references are still for 2011> Thanks Jenova 20 09:27, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, if i move a page does the old one get deleted or do i have to list it for deletion? I created MAZDA 121 (UK) as a redirect but then moved it to Mazda 121 (UK) once i noticed MAZDA in upper case. I now have 2 pages and only need the Mazda one. Thanks Stepho Jenova 20 09:37, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Stepho. Somewhere recently you quoted the BBC as being sticklers for correct use of language. Sadly that hasn't been true for quite a while now. I understand it was because they chose to dispose of their 'unfortunate' élitist image. Pronunciations of some of our local names are now really startling, perhaps they think their polyglot audience is then more likely to recognize the words from sight bites? Regards Eddaido ( talk) 09:55, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting my revert in this article. I should have checked the article for usage of both spellings before I reverted the first spelling change, so your fix was entirely correct and justified. - Ahunt ( talk) 13:23, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
I planned on spotting one of these on a recent trip to Colorado and was very proud to manage seeing one - they are very rare these days. I naturally thought of you as I was photographing it. Cheers, ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃ ( talk) 08:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
