In the Jaguar Mark VIII article I see that ten british feet convert as 3000 mm. That's wrong. I think ten British feet equate to about 3.048 meters. Might there be a systematic error of say 1.5% with this formula? Am I missing something obvious? What should I / you / someone else do if there is?
(How helpful of Jaguar to produce a car with a ten foot wheelbase).

Sorry to bother you with another of these but ....
I think the bhp / Kw conversion formula is excessively rounding the values. I took a random selection of cars that I have owned or own or used regularly (so for which I know the data relatively well) and found a systematic error averaging above 2%. I added to the sample some figures I'd been taking out of some old ADAC roadtests that I've been looking at, and added two more from powerful cars I wish I'd driven (to check a couple of bigger values). Some of the individual errors got beyond 5%, however, especially with the smaller engines. That's really more than you want when converting bhp power output to Kw output.
Questions:
1. I'm not an engineer. I could be missing something obvous. Am I?
2. But if you agree we have a problem here, is there something I or you or ? can do about it?
And please. And thank you. Regards Charles01 ( talk) 16:54, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

You have been 2 granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessens the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, which means that you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the link which should look like [rollback] (which should appear unbolded if you have twinkle installed) on the lastest diff page. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the lastest edit. For more information, you may refer to this page, alternatively, you may also find this tutorial on rollback helpful. Yamamoto Ichiro ?? 20:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm thinking about translating an entry into English on the BMW 3200 CS. In the process, I THINK I MAY have come across a couple of errors - questions anyway - on the timeline template.
I think the E9 link was wrongly directed. I have changed the link. If you think I am missing something obvious, please change it back.
There is a red link for the BMW 3.0 CS somewhere round 1962. I do not think BMW had a 3.0 engine at this date. There was a BMW 3.0 CS later - I think included with the E9 entry. But I have not removed this link in case I am wrong and / or because I don't know what it will do to the rest of the diagram if I start messing with it here. Do you have a view?

You undid some edits to Fiat 131, with particular regard to removing WikiLinks from dates, citing WP:CARS.

First, let me say that it is indeed very pleasing to work with you and Charles. --- As you may have noticed, I´ve begun to use PS/hp/kW templates for European (mostly German) cars (and hp/kW templates for the US versions). Now, there are several markets where they have used kW for decades - South Africa, Australia and, strictly speaking, even Europe. What is missing therefore is a template kW - hp - PS (or kW-PS-hp). Unfortunately I´m not able to create such a template. You seem to be quite knowledgeable about those things, so could you probably help? Would be great.

Hi there, yes you're right it is wrong , thanks for the info. Stonufka ( talk) 12:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
This is early for reasons LB22 and I understand.
Indeed, all figures are from 2006 (as were the Scania numbers I added). However, if the page reflects current ownership structure (which it does, both for Scania/VW and Daimler/Chrysler, for example) then the 2006 production numbers for each group should also reflect the total of the group members. This is the difficulty in combining current state (company/brand ownership) with old statistics -- but unless we revise the table to reflect the state of the industry as of 31.12.2006, I believe we need to have the numbers match the table.

Hi Typ 932, would you please fill me in why the PS/hp/kW template should be obsolete? Am I missing something? Also, the bhp/kW/PS templates you just inserted into BMW E39 are clearly wrong - 150 bhp equal 152 PS, in the case of 520i for instance, whereas the car had 150 PS = 148 hp. Strictly speaking, a kW/PS/hp template would be correct, as power outputs were officially measured in kW at that time (and semi-officially only in PS). Regards, -- 328cia ( talk) 18:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Can i ask why you have reverted to adding the name of the car maker to each car model - mainly listing them as Opel's?
Opel is part of the General Motors group of companies so your listing of the Omega, for example as an Opel product in the title of the article is incorrect as it appears under several different names within the GM group of companies car lists.
Also each of your corrected articles state again for example below:
The Opel Tigra is a small coupe produced by Opel.
You also have introduce repartition in each article where i removed the makers name from car model name and the line above should begin with:
The Tigra is a small coupe produced by Various manufacturers in the GM group.
Opel is the make of the car and Tigra is the model, when you inspect the brochure the cover will say "Tigra" and not "Opel Tigra".
I would welcome your comments on this query?
msa1701 ( talk) 17:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
What i am also saying is that you are labelling all these car models as Opels - but they are also made and badged by other companies within the GM group so your labelling of them as only Opel models is incorrect would you not agree?
Regards
msa1701 ( talk) 07:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
From your message you see all these cars as Opels but reviewing your homepage you are from Finland so you would only see Opel products, i am in the UK (England to be exact) and we have Vauxhalls which are the same models as yours and these cars are not listed as opels - so the articles should all begin with the model name and then list who it is manufactured by.
What i am saying is listing these cars that you have corrected as for example "The Opel Astra" is incorrect Opel is not the exclusive manufacturer of GM vehicles.

You seem to be resorting to personal attacks against me ( WP:ATTACK), both article talk pages, and on some edit summaries - I don't like them, they are untrue, and I don't see why either I, or Wikipedia should tollerate them.

At the end of the day, we are all here because we want to improve articles in Wikipedia.

Morning. I've just noticed the Conversion formulae on your user page - I hope you don't mind if I link your user page on my own! Could I possibly ask a suggestion? Would it be possible for you to put them all in a WikiTable, so that the answer examples are all aligned? One other question, you have striked through the "auto PS" formula, and whilst I understand that the convention is to use kW where preferable, many manufacturers (particularly German and French) still only quote engine power in PS - or is it possible to use one of the existing conversion tepmlates?

First, let me say that it is indeed very pleasing to work with you and Charles. --- As you may have noticed, I´ve begun to use PS/hp/kW templates for European (mostly German) cars (and hp/kW templates for the US versions). Now, there are several markets where they have used kW for decades - South Africa, Australia and, strictly speaking, even Europe. What is missing therefore is a template kW - hp - PS (or kW-PS-hp). Unfortunately I´m not able to create such a template. You seem to be quite knowledgeable about those things, so could you probably help? Would be great.

Hi there, yes you're right it is wrong , thanks for the info. Stonufka ( talk) 12:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
This is early for reasons LB22 and I understand.
Indeed, all figures are from 2006 (as were the Scania numbers I added). However, if the page reflects current ownership structure (which it does, both for Scania/VW and Daimler/Chrysler, for example) then the 2006 production numbers for each group should also reflect the total of the group members. This is the difficulty in combining current state (company/brand ownership) with old statistics -- but unless we revise the table to reflect the state of the industry as of 31.12.2006, I believe we need to have the numbers match the table.

Hi Typ 932, would you please fill me in why the PS/hp/kW template should be obsolete? Am I missing something? Also, the bhp/kW/PS templates you just inserted into BMW E39 are clearly wrong - 150 bhp equal 152 PS, in the case of 520i for instance, whereas the car had 150 PS = 148 hp. Strictly speaking, a kW/PS/hp template would be correct, as power outputs were officially measured in kW at that time (and semi-officially only in PS). Regards, -- 328cia ( talk) 18:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Can i ask why you have reverted to adding the name of the car maker to each car model - mainly listing them as Opel's?
Opel is part of the General Motors group of companies so your listing of the Omega, for example as an Opel product in the title of the article is incorrect as it appears under several different names within the GM group of companies car lists.
Also each of your corrected articles state again for example below:
The Opel Tigra is a small coupe produced by Opel.
You also have introduce repartition in each article where i removed the makers name from car model name and the line above should begin with:
The Tigra is a small coupe produced by Various manufacturers in the GM group.
Opel is the make of the car and Tigra is the model, when you inspect the brochure the cover will say "Tigra" and not "Opel Tigra".
I would welcome your comments on this query?
msa1701 ( talk) 17:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
What i am also saying is that you are labelling all these car models as Opels - but they are also made and badged by other companies within the GM group so your labelling of them as only Opel models is incorrect would you not agree?
Regards
msa1701 ( talk) 07:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
From your message you see all these cars as Opels but reviewing your homepage you are from Finland so you would only see Opel products, i am in the UK (England to be exact) and we have Vauxhalls which are the same models as yours and these cars are not listed as opels - so the articles should all begin with the model name and then list who it is manufactured by.
What i am saying is listing these cars that you have corrected as for example "The Opel Astra" is incorrect Opel is not the exclusive manufacturer of GM vehicles.

You seem to be resorting to personal attacks against me ( WP:ATTACK), both article talk pages, and on some edit summaries - I don't like them, they are untrue, and I don't see why either I, or Wikipedia should tollerate them. Whilst I accept that we are all individuals, and have differents points of view (sometimes diametrically opposed!), we should all assume respect and good faith towards one another. At the end of the day, we are all here because we want to improve articles in Wikipedia. We are all human (apart from the Bots!), and all make mistakes - if we do find that we are disagreing with each other, then can we please try to work together, rather than antagonising each other.

Morning. I've just noticed the Conversion formulae on your user page - I hope you don't mind if I link your user page on my own! Could I possibly ask a suggestion? Would it be possible for you to put them all in a WikiTable, so that the answer examples are all aligned? One other question, you have striked through the "auto PS" formula, and whilst I understand that the convention is to use kW where preferable, many manufacturers (particularly German and French) still only quote engine power in PS - or is it possible to use one of the existing conversion tepmlates?
