10:15, 22 April 2019 (UTC)Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit to the Toyota 2000GT article, with the comment "Revert. Spaced dash was better. A website is not a publisher."
Regarding your two points:
Website titles may or may not be italicized depending on the type of site and what kind of content it features. Online magazines, newspapers, and news sites with original content should generally be italicized ( Salon or HuffPost). Online non-user generated encyclopedias and dictionaries should also be italicized ( Scholarpedia or Merriam-Webster Online). Other types of websites should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
See also WP:5P5. In the spirit of those points, I disagree that a domain name i.e., 007.info) or the name of an organization (in this case The James Bond International Fan Club) should be treated as a "work", i.e., italicized, as the CS2 field "website" does. — DocWatson42 ( talk) 03:28, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi, saw your revert, not going to fight it.
Just to expand on my too brief edit note, I found the use of 'decades' gave a suggestion of a longer time period than the reality (really only back to the 1880s for petrol powered automobiles, so only just managing to be multiple decades). That's why I made the change but I was at a bit of a loss for how better to phrase it. Perhaps it should explicitly mention how long automobiles had existed before the Model T rather than a general time period reference? Oska ( talk) 02:54, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello Stepho, Good points there. Hope you don't mind me clarifying a couple of things, all based on material written by people in the industry so no personal interpretations/opinions. The compressor, CC and turbine as a combination is called a gas generator. The output is gas power which is only able to do anything because its pressure is higher than the surroundings. It gets to ambient pressure either through a propelling nozzle, hence the thrust. Alternatively it gets to ambient through that other use of nozzles the turbine (turboshaft). Or a bit of both for the prop or bypass engine. As you say, the gas generator is the central part of the engine and can be fitted with various loads, the simplest of which is just a nozzle. In fact the same gg with minor modifications can be fitted with any of the loads.
As regards the afterburner, the gas generator provides all the compression only when not moving, progressively less as the intake ram builds up with speed, and ultimately none at all at about Mach 3.2, actual speed depending on particular engine design. At this point the intake is the compression stage for a/b. Cheers Pieter1963 ( talk) 00:51, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, but I'm cautiously hopeful that a(nother) difficult Toyota-connected question for me might be an easy question for you.
This van had a Toyota badge on the back and another on the steering wheel. And when I look it up on the public face of the UK tax office vehicle database it's been registered as a Toyota. But that's not a Toyota badge on the front and I don't recognise the shape. Presumably from a UK perspective - I found it in England - it's a grey import, first registered in England a number of years after the "declared" date of manufacture at first UK registration. Incidentally, the name I gave it till now is simply copied off what was written on the left-front wing. It look like something that wikipedia calls Toyota Noah, but there's no mention in that entry of any "Elceo edition". Anyhow, not worth losing sleep over, but if you are able, relatively easily, to navigate me through the complexities of the relevant Toyota model ranges, sub-brands etc., I would be grateful.

Hi Stepho-wrs. As you edit many Toyota articles, may as well ask this to you: What do you think of a Toyota Auto Body article? I requested a G7 of an article I created on the topic after someone said to me it could be a copyright infringement, albeit involuntary. It turned out it wasn't. So, I was wondering if it's worth either a WP:REFUND or a recreation. You can read how the article was in this Wikipedia repository.

The Japanese Patent Database has been updated and upgraded significantly, to the point that it now outshines the European Patent databases and USPTO. I am ridiculously giddy, because it connects so many dots and confirms so much hearsay over the years. I also have the story of development for the original Toyota Avalon, but yesterday I discovered so many early 90s patents filed by various Japanese automakers. Many of the "historic" patents are not available in European, UK, nor USA databases. This
design patent for the Avalon, was filed on a date I never expected to see of February 17, 1992 (usually does this very last minute, close to intro). It showcases a fully designed 1:1 representation of the Avalon, which takes months to reach a patent after settling on the final styling.
Crosschecking both my Motorfan source and the patent, the design of Avalon concluded rather early (for a late 1994-1995 release), by the middle of 1991 and the design freeze was completed by early 1992. Toyota lawyers then filed for patent on the 17th of February, it seems. Seems that Japanese manufacturers had ridiculously high lead times in the 90s, considering that the Avalon barely entered production in September 1994. Usually Europeans were guilty of taking that long (ie W140 S-Class was finished in 1986).
Not only that, a design patent filed in 1988 for the ES 300 for an alternate design proposal, which echoes second generation LS 400 and pre-dates the final design finished in late 1988.
Anyway, I really recommend you use the patent database, if of use to you. Just use the category "G2210" for classification, to narrow your search and then for dates "20190101" to "20190615" for example. I have never seen so many automotive design patents ever, because it includes those for various global automakers and dates back into the 1980s. I'm going to find more, plus maybe one of these coming weeks (time permitting), start dissecting my library of MotorFan vehicle development stories and making them publicly accessible, with design photos, timelines, and etc.-- Carmaker1 ( talk) 04:08, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Guess we gotta get cracking. Mr.choppers | ✎ 23:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Stepho - I was looking for some info on the F engine and got bogged down in 1938 thanks to the marvelously informative Toyota website (see my contributions). Anyhow, I reached the Toyota BX, which spawned BZ/FX/FZ derivatives. Then these got a new grille and became the BA and FA, with shorter BC and FC models added briefly thereafter. So far so good. But then the BA was discontinued in 1956 while the FA (and later diesel-engined DA models) went on to be produced until 1978 for Japan and 2006 globally. I had been adding BA/FA information to the BX page, but the FA definitely needs its own article - what do we call it? I'm thinking Toyota FA/DA, but perhaps you have a better suggestion? The BA is but a footnote and I don't think it should be represented in the title. Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 04:55, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Just saw the work you did at Toyota FA. Excellent! Stepho talk 07:43, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
G'day Stepho,
Thank you very much for fixing the problem with something in my table formatting in the Long combination vehicle article on 6 December ("You broke something. Let's try it a different way.")
As is my habit when doing something like that, I checked the display with two browsers, but that didn't reveal anything; however I use a Mac and very occasionally it will function differently from Windows machines.
I'm contacting you to see whether you could add a top cell, equivalent to what I had done in my coding, so that instead of two differently worded cells being visible, only one overall "heading" cell appears. That would improve the accessibility, I think.
I forget why I looked at the article -- I'm only (very) peripherally interested in the subject. I see there may be some controversy about whether or not to display the graphics of trucks. As a compromise, it might be worth considering putting them in a container -- as with the several examples at https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Editing_Wikitext/Pictures/Images_in_Containers

I would just like to point out that when you undid my edits on the gallery, you undid what would have been the final reversion of the section. Urbanoc and I found middle ground when he undid my massive gallery (which has been removed before by Cornellier, but for the wrong reasons) saying that there were too many photos, so I undid their edit, reduced the amount of gallery photos from 21 to 14, and then I was sent a thank from Urbanoc.
I just that I'd point that out before the section was locked.

Hi Stepho - I was looking for some info on the F engine and got bogged down in 1938 thanks to the marvelously informative Toyota website (see my contributions). Anyhow, I reached the Toyota BX, which spawned BZ/FX/FZ derivatives. Then these got a new grille and became the BA and FA, with shorter BC and FC models added briefly thereafter. So far so good. But then the BA was discontinued in 1956 while the FA (and later diesel-engined DA models) went on to be produced until 1978 for Japan and 2006 globally. I had been adding BA/FA information to the BX page, but the FA definitely needs its own article - what do we call it? I'm thinking Toyota FA/DA, but perhaps you have a better suggestion? The BA is but a footnote and I don't think it should be represented in the title. Best, Mr.choppers | ✎ 04:55, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
Just saw the work you did at Toyota FA. Excellent! Stepho talk 07:43, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
G'day Stepho,
Thank you very much for fixing the problem with something in my table formatting in the Long combination vehicle article on 6 December ("You broke something. Let's try it a different way.")
As is my habit when doing something like that, I checked the display with two browsers, but that didn't reveal anything; however I use a Mac and very occasionally it will function differently from Windows machines.
I'm contacting you to see whether you could add a top cell, equivalent to what I had done in my coding, so that instead of two differently worded cells being visible, only one overall "heading" cell appears. That would improve the accessibility, I think.
I forget why I looked at the article -- I'm only (very) peripherally interested in the subject. I see there may be some controversy about whether or not to display the graphics of trucks. As a compromise, it might be worth considering putting them in a container -- as with the several examples at https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Editing_Wikitext/Pictures/Images_in_Containers

I would just like to point out that when you undid my edits on the gallery, you undid what would have been the final reversion of the section. Urbanoc and I found middle ground when he undid my massive gallery (which has been removed before by Cornellier, but for the wrong reasons) saying that there were too many photos, so I undid their edit, reduced the amount of gallery photos from 21 to 14, and then I was sent a thank from Urbanoc.
I just that I'd point that out before the section was locked.
Have a good Christmas. WaddlesJP13 ( talk) 11:06 PM EST, December 25th, 2019 / 4:06 UTC, 26 December 2019.
Could you please help me to know how to reach consensus about which measure units for wind speed to use for European storms? UK users pretend to show mph forst, whreas contributors from other countries use SI units (km/h or m/s).-- Carnby ( talk) 10:50, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
