Your dreaded humongous blank field ...
Thanks for your message. I'm afraid I know very little about Macs and their foibles. I have looked at the source code of the Maruti Suzuki article, and I couldn't find anything unusual about it. I also used two different PCs to display the article itself, using the Internet Explorer browser, and it displayed okay. The problem you're experiencing may be with your browser rather than with your Mac. You might therefore want to try downloading either a different browser, or the latest version of your current browser, to see whether that fixes the problem. Meanwhile, I note your interest in Japanese cars. I'm not all that interested in them myself (although my first two cars were Hondas). However, I remember photographing a few on a visit to Japan about 10 years ago, and I must get round to uploading the pictures to commons some time. I've also got some pictures of Marutis and other Indian cars taken in India - I've already uploaded one of them, but it's a Mumbai taxi, which is basically a Fiat design. Regards, Bahnfrend (talk) 05:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I figured as much, thanks for looking into it! And yes, please upload all of them photos! I'll be happy to edit them for you if you're not interested in photoshop fiddling, just upload them the way they are. Thanks, cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 16:50, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am also an Apple user and have noticed the same thing. I am using Chrome as browser. Seems strange to have lingered on this long, and it applies to all articles with infoboxes I view (so my guess is there must be an issue with the infobox code). OSX (talk • contributions) 23:36, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, here's a photo of an intersection in Old Delhi with a Maruti featuring prominently. I think you could probably copy the photo, crop the copy, and use the cropped copy to illustrate a Maruti article. I'll leave it up to you to identify the Maruti. I believe it's a Maruti 1000, but I'm not sure whether it's also an Esteem. Either way, the infobox doesn't have an image of it, so I also suspect that this is the first commons image. It turns out that I didn't have as many suitable Japanese photos as I previously thought, but I'll soon be uploading one of a Nissan President 250 with rectangular headlights (also not yet in commons), which I suspect will need a bit of sharpening. Bahnfrend (talk) 16:17, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Super! The Maruti is the 2004-2007 facelift model, it received the Chang'an Suzuki Lingyang's headlights, taillights, and bumpers. I'll go ahead and extract it. Mmmmm.... President. Mr.choppers | ✎ 11:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It also has the update model's spoiler. Anyway, the picture I originally thought was of a Nissan President is actually a Toyota Century. Still, big, luxurious and rare, though. The image is not a particularly good one, but you may be able to improve it somewhat. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:50, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hallo Bahnfrend, and thanks. Please keep sharing. Sadly the (awesome) VG40 has aftermarket wheels on it so it won't be very useful for our purposes here. Good spotting, though! Mr.choppers | ✎ 05:53, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DV28 - in several places in the book. I'm not sure how Daihatsu's chassis coding system worked in the seventies, can't seem to identify any consistent logic. Mr.choppers | ✎ 22:20, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that you recently edited the Toyota LiteAce and TownAce pages. For a while now I have been pondering about what to do with them. There seems to be a lot of overlap so do you think there is a case to combine the two? Cheers, OSX (talk • contributions) 09:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes and no. They develop in parallel, but always very differently until the introduction of the current generation which seems to be just a badge difference - but I don't know much about the most recent one. The original one only shared the doors and some underlying metalwork, having different tread and wheelbases as well. I'd lean towards leaving as is for now. Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:16, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I have looked into this more. What I see are two distinct lines similar to narrow- and wide-body Camrys. We have the M-Series (M10, M20, M30) and then the R-Series (R10, R20/R30, R40/R50). I have created a proposal at User:OSX/Toyota LiteAce. Please tell me what you think. You will notice that most of the models overlap: exceptions are the original models (R10 and M10) which as you said share some componentry anyway (e.g doors). The 1982–1992 R20/R30 (Toyota MasterAce equivalent) is the only other exception—only with the major facelift (rebodied) version in 1992 did the LiteAce re-merge with the TownAce. OSX (talk • contributions) 05:37, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Lovely. That is very clear and also clarifies how the anomalous TownAce truck is an M-chassis model (of which I was hitherto unaware). Toyota's light truck lines may rival Mitsubishi's naming practices for absolute confusion. I fully support a merger into such an article, although I am missing all of the content from Toyota MasterAce (which is called the H-series - if one is to believe that article). I fondly remember this vehicle as the Toyota Model F, and also remember my surprise at finding out that not everyone called it that... I am also missing whatever Daihatsu Delta content I had added to the various "stem" articles, but these are minor and easily rectifiable niggles while the structure of your proposal is very sound looking. Go Bold. Mr.choppers | ✎ 06:08, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Toyota ID manual (export) denotes the Model F/Tarago/Van/SpaceWagon as the R series. The LiteAce is the M series, the Hiace is the H series, the ToyoAce is the Y series, the Dyna is the U series. Stepho talk07:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nice. I've just added a timeline. Do you think this is too confusing? Obviously it's a work-in-progess so for now I have only touched on Japanese market models badged Toyota. Other markets need to be added, along with the Daihatsu Delta rebadge. Not sure why the Toyota MasterAce page uses codes like YH51, in Australia the Tarago (MasterAce) used codes like YR22RG (and JDM only used YR20G). The Tarago was an extremely popular car in the 1980s and 1990s. The original version that liked to hop around all over the road at speed sold over 100,000 here. When the Estima arrived in 1990 this became our new Tarago and these were far superior in every way (except for the dangerous fun at-the limit handling). These 1990s cars are still quite common out in the suburbs, but the originals are increasingly a rarity nowadays. OSX (talk • contributions) 07:34, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I don't know why it says H, I will do some archeology to try and find out.
It was added by someone named TruckMatt a long time ago - I can't find any supporting evidence and would recommend removing the H-series codes for now. US market "vans" are also coded "R". Btw, the "wonderwagon" name was just a nickname used in some advertising and shouldn't really be used as an offical name for the US Van. Mr.choppers | ✎ 22:07, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The YH51 was a Hiace van with 3Y engine sliding side door, seating for 9 people (as opposed to 3 or 15). Only sold in S.Africa from June 1983 onwards. The YH61 is a Hiace with 3Y engine, long van body for 3 people. I don't have records of the YH53/63/71/73 but they follow the same pattern. In short, that editor confused the Hiace with the Tarago. Stepho talk11:40, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Mr.choppers. I have rephrased large parts of the work I had earlier stolen from Toyota's historians and made various other changes. Considering the original articles were incomplete with missing generations, I have salvaged whatever I could from LiteAce, TownAce, and MasterAce and submitted my proposal from October linked above as the actual article located at Toyota LiteAce. I have hidden the plagiarised information that has yet to be reworded as per Wikipedia policy.
Yep, about that big, I suppose. Gratuliere: you inserted yourself into a German Wiki ArbCom case, and that's totally ballworthy. Drmies (talk) 04:50, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings again.
No I am not ivan and I also own a RK45 and an admin on the Facebook group, anyway the hilux is the successor of the lite stout RK43, RK41 US spec and not the "full" stout RK100, RK101. There was only two main production runs of the lite stout, with and without cab extension production ending 7/1965 when it seems as if the chassis/frame manufacturing equipment was relocated to south Africa and the RK44 stallion/stout commenced production with various variations in engine that continued into the early 70's.
The hilux as I understand was built as a more luxurious upgrade of the lite stout and I know this is a bold statement but post 7/1967 lite stout such as the odd one that pops up here in Australia might have been assembled in south Africa on chassis/frames made there but the rest of the components were still being made in Japan as knock down units based off the RK101 face lift and not that of the RK100 Whysmee (talk) 00:41, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Whysmee, I think you ought to read things more carefully. A guy named Ivan thought I ran the FB group, and I suggested that perhaps it was you - it seems I was correct. As for the rest of your comment, it's an interesting speculation but again would need sourcing before it could be added to the page. Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 13:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In reference to the hilux being successor, the description of the hilux on toyotas own 75 years of toyota, states that the hilux succeeded the light stout, something that is also stated on the hilux wiki chronology predecessor light stout (stout)Whysmee (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry yet again for my annoyance, I just noticed that the separate wiki for the lite/light stout no longer exists, it was blank anyway and only linked back to the main page. What I was wondering is it worth separating lite/light stout models within there own page article and the models of them such as the US spec and the south African stallion, as there is much confusion between the two and many are confused and do not understand the structural difference. So a separate sub section just on the lite light stout models RK40, 41, 43 and the ZA RK44 stallion, plus an interesting item popped up recently on Flickr a 1968 lite stout advertisementWhysmee (talk) 22:43, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Uh oh. I forgot to do this the first time. Although you cannot tell from my posting below, in real life I was bowing my head and down on one knee, waving my hat in front of me zealously! I hereby repeat the performance, per thy command. Banzai Mr.choppers, huzzah! :-) You are silly, I must note, but not as silly as that Hej fellow. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 13:46, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, he lost his arbcom case in German Wikipedia so he is probably a bit moody. I don't know that there's much to be done except revert, revert, revert. Mr.choppers | ✎ 11:17, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sir, not sure how this works but,, if I am correct you are the person that put a picture on line that is of my 59 Studebaker Deluxe. It is rather startling to have someone look for a picture on google images and my truck and I appear as the first one. I am currently the chairman of a public arts commission in a small suburb in Texas. I had hoped if any of my life entered the world stage it would be my efforts in creating the public art programs here in Leander Texas. We are about to double in size 30,000 to 60,000+.
Thank you for choosing my truck to represent studebaker's attempt at a "pretty truck". I have many years in the Studebaker world and being the current owner of the truck that comes up in that image search is very funny to me. Thanks again 20:06, 28 November 2013 (UTC)~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.120.95 (talk)
Hello Mr (I removed your name since this is a public page), I found the photo in question on Picasaweb - it was taken by someone named Geoffrey Straubinger rather than me. It's a nice truck in any case, I see why you're proud of it. I hope I identified it correctly, I don't know much about these kinds of vehicles. Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 23:50, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
your name came up in a discussion
Hello Mr.choppers, you can call me 74, when reading stuff on Drmies talkpage I noticed some trouble you were having with 24 aka 98 about the Honda engine-specifications stuff. I'm trying to train them on WP:NICE and WP:RS and such. You are free to comment if you wish, of course, but as you've done nothing bad, feel free to skip it. :-) User_talk:Drmies#discussion_about_Honda-engine-editor_currently_undergoing_service_in_my_editor-machine-shop. Anyways, thanks for improving wikipedia, and hey, don't let Drmies give you too much trouble about the flatter nature of certain geographical regions, stand tall and remind them that Alabama mud does not taste sweeter than Scandinavia mud. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 22:59, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please click here, D15B8, and then paste in this magic incantation:
#REDIRECT [[Honda_D_engine#D15B8]]
At least I think you can create a redirect... but anons cannot. Along the same lines, Drmies has opted to keep the semi-prot in place. Are you okay with being the person who edits mainspace, if we get the sources and such worked out on the talkpages first? 74.192.84.101 (talk) 17:01, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I will be happy to help every so often - I can't always promise prompt action and I certainly also don't want to accidentally enter incorrect data, so I will always double check before entering something. Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On 19 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Isuzu Elf, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a Light Elf can carry 1,250 kilograms (2,800 lb)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Isuzu Elf. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Saturday: NYC Art And Feminism Wikipedia Editathon
Please join Wikipedia "Art and Feminism Editathon" @ Eyebeam on Saturday February 1, 2014, an event aimed at collaboratively expanding Wikipedia articles covering Art and Feminism, and the biographies of women artists!
I have been vaguely assuming as much for a while, but I looked at his linked YouTube page and it provides much more personal info than we ever got from Jason. Also: haha! I think that they are just very similar personalities, but I also wouldn't be surprised if I was totally wrong! Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 03:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if you're new to MR2s, but the picture you removed and noted as "Undid revision 594854109 by Nbvolks (talk) rm picture of modified car (for the twentieth time))", was not a picture of a 'modified' car. It's a stock 1994 model, with Rev5 wheels ('98-'99).
You are invited to join upcoming Wikipedia "Editathons", where both experienced and new Wikipedia editors will collaboratively improve articles on a selected theme, on the following two Saturdays in March:
YouTube links are not appropriate for inclusion in articles, and doing so will appear very spammy, particularly when you persist in doing so. Kidsmediausa is not a reliable source. If multiple people are reverting you, that's a sign that what you are doing is wrong. Lukeno94(tell Luke off here)10:46, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Those sources are not about parihars but taken from article Gurjar. The Mihir etc stuff are being used for gujars in those sources, and not for parihars. That's why I reverted. thanks
