We noticed though that when you edited List of steam car makers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reading.

I wrote a whole lot on the above page thinking it was on this page and I was writing to you. As everyone now says — what's done is done. Over to you whether or not you want to reply. Eddaido (talk) 04:46, 17 November 2015 (UTC) Reliable sources for acceleration pageI added a better source for the Challenger. As for the Charger the cars.com source seems perfectly fine, it clearly shows that they conducted the test themselves by a road test editor, and cars.com isn't really any less respected than say Motor Trend or Car and Driver. Surely fits Wikipedia policy for a reliable secondary source. I found a video that confirms the time, and will add it to the Notes section. The manufacturers NHRA certified time was actually quicker at 11 seconds flat. The Corvette Zr1 source is clearly not reliable as it just shows an image with a bunch of text on it, I also did a search for any other road tests posting a similar time and could not find any; a Motor Trend test listed 11.4. The Carrera GT is a similar story, however I found a Car and Driver road test that gives 11.2 thus still making the list.

If you want to write an article about it, that would be choice. Looks like there are other resources available on the web, I googled "Callender mountain goat" and got lots of hits.-gadfium 23:30, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Are you aware that it now qualifies for speedy deletion? If you want to do further work on it, I'd say edit it soon. What are your intentions? Schwede66 04:38, 15 December 2015 (UTC) Happy Holidays
Ford GT editorThe guy who edited the Ford GT time for List of fastest production cars by acceleration is a hoaxster. You might already know about him, but he's been making fake false edits about American sports cars/muscle cars for a while and making fake sources as well. He's been making amateur hoaxes such as these. Apostrophe's usageLooking at this edit (and many similar), can I just offer a minor correction? In general use, plurals of proper nouns do not require apostrophes before the final "s". Incorrect: The squadron flew Mustang's from 1943 on, replacing the Spitfire's which had served since 1940. The Mustangs longer range made it better suited to combat operations in the South Pacific." Correct: "The squadron flew Mustangs from 1943 on, replacing the Spitfires which had served since 1940. The Mustang's longer range…" --Pete (talk) 22:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC) Books & Bytes - Issue 15

The Interior via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:20, 19 February 2016 (UTC) Geraldton CommentI've reverted your edit on the shelling of Port Gregory in the Geraldton article. It's hardly local - Port Gregory is 70 km to the north in the Shire of Northampton, 100 km by road. Perhaps fleshing it out to make it locally relevant might make it fit in an expanded History section but it's also unrelated to the Sydney Memorial. regards John beta (talk) 03:54, 23 March 2016 (UTC) Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

I'm organising an edit-a-thon at Te Papa on Sunday May 29th, focussed on adding NZ flora and fauna species to Wikipedia. It would be good to have some more experienced editors along to help any complete beginners, and I wonder if you might be interested in attending. If so, feel free to add yourself to the Wikipedia:Meetup/Wellington/2016_Edit-a-thon. It would be great to have a good turnout and show Te Papa there's an active local editing community.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) New Challenge for Oceania and AustraliaHi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

A tag has been placed on User:NealeFamily/Cheetah Cars, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Sent by MediaWiki message delivery on behalf of The Wikipedia Library team --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:04, 23 August 2017 (UTC) AssessmentHi there, thanks for working on WPNZ article assessment. I notice, though, that you tend to rate many articles as start class when they are still stubs. A rule of thumb is that below 1500 bytes of readable prose size, it's still a stub. That's not a hard and fast rule, and there's a lot of scope to see things differently. But either way, it's a good initial guide.
