Biased edits
you have been reversing my edit on yugo, and at 13 i don't hink you know more about this car that i do. i am going to file a formal compalint. and if you think yugos have porshe motors, you need to do you research befor editing. JAy
Hello Karrmann- I'm a bit concerned about several of your recent edits. Specifically, this edit concerning the history of Eagle automobile is very subjective and unencyclopedic. Please do not come to conclusions in articles.
Additionally, while the images you've added to the Mitsubishi Eclipse article are much needed, there is no information about what license they are released under. Ex: Image:MitsubishiEclipse.jpg has no copyright or source information whatsoever. Please add source and license information to images you upload, and of course, images with free licenses (public domain, GFDL, Creative Commons, etc.) are preferred. Copyrighted images may be deleted.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. --Milkmandan 05:34, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
Automobiles
I appreciate your input, especially on the Vector articles. As you get more used to Wikipedia, you will learn the syntax of the tables and things. In the mean time, I repaired the photos, for instance.
Two concerns came up, however. The Dodge Omni Family article is probably not necessary - that would be better at Chrysler L platform, which is where I will move it. I'm not sure if an 024 article was needed, and the TC3 was definitely a dupe, so I redirected it. Finally, we must be careful about copyright - the article on Nuccio Bertone was pasted from another site, so it had to be removed.
Don't get discouraged - it's a learning process. But I appreciate your interest and input. --SFoskett 21:31, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
Image deletion warning | Image:NUCCIO2.jpg has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. If you feel that this image should not be deleted, please go there to voice your opinion. |
Vector W2 images
If you have written permission to use those images, then add it to the images description and remove the copyright warning notice from the main Vector W2 text. --Pc13 23:49, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
Image deletion warning | The image Image:11-54562-sm.jpg has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. If you have any information on the source or licensing of this image, please go to its page to provide the necessary information. |
It was best to leave Mercury Lynx redirecting to Ford Escort since that is the vehicle it was most similar to. I also removed the duplicate picture from Mercury Topaz. --SFoskett 03:36, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Vector2.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Vector2.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Could you add a tag to let us know its copyright status? (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --SteinbDJ 16:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Karrman, you removed the {{no source}} tag from Image:Vector2.JPG without adding a better tag. That's deliberately obstructing efforts to get accurate copyright information on all images. I just had to retag the image, and I'm putting it on my watchlist in case you attempt to remove the tag again. If you do so, I will refer you to admins for a potential ban. Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia, has made it clear he supports bans for people who continue to ignore copyright problems, especially with media like images. Superm401 | Talk 03:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- As an exception, you are encouraged to replace the tag with a better one if you have accurate source information. Superm401 | Talk 03:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- The same goes for Image:VectorW2.jpg. Put a source or leave the tag. I'm watching it. Superm401 | Talk 04:04, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

NPOV on cars
Hey there! You have to be careful about the POV policy on some of your edits. Yes some called the Mystique the Mistake, but that doesn't need to be added to every article. And I'm not aware of a "recall record", and that either the Citation or Focus set one. Please provide facts or references for claims like this lest we start looking like a car bashing site... --SFoskett 16:54, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
Cadillac XV16 Engine
Hi, you recently posted a pic of the Cadillac XV16 engine (the one in the concept car) in the Cadillac_V-16 article... Perhaps that image should be moved to the Cadillac_V16_engine article? Zcrayfish 12:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
Oh, I just noticed, but you need to tag that image and put it's source too. Thanks, z. Zcrayfish 12:34, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
Image removal
Hi Karrmann. I saw the edits you made on the article penis. I put back the pictures you removed. There have been a lot of discussions and compromises made regarding illustrations on that article. Try reading over the talk page to get an idea of the history of the article. Joyous (talk) 20:43, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
More nudity issues
I replaced the image you removed from Drew Barrymore. I'm at a loss to see how a woman's nipples could be something a child shouldn't see. Two of the three cities I've lived in actually permit public toplessness, not to mention many other countries, which suports the notion that it's merely a culturally relative taboo to hide the breasts in public with no concrete harm as justification. Perhaps you weren't breastfed. But that's all beside the point anyway because Wikipedia is not censored for children. So stop removing images for anything other than informational purposes. Considering how the article in this case actually describes her bad girl sex symbol image and her nudity in films and magazines at some great length, the cover is certainly relevant and appropriate. Postdlf 03:38, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Ford Contour
I'm curious as to why you think that the Ford Contour was sold in 2001. There is no evidence to support the existence of a 2001 Contour. Don't make unfounded statements like that unless there's plenty of evidence to support it. And BTW, try not to reference the "Mercury Mistake" in every article that mentions the Contour. Thanks. --ApolloBoy 01:34, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Face of the earth
Hi. Just so ya know, there's a policy of no original research here. In other words, no original essays. BTW, I've made featured articles out of three car-related subjects. Drop by Ford Mustang, VW Transporter and Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 for a look. - Lucky 6.9 01:22, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Images being deleted
Most of the images you uploaded will soon be deleted without warning because they have no source or copyright information. Please read Wikipedia:Untagged images and Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for more information on the subject. Even images you create yourself have to be tagged, preferably with {{GFDL-self}} --Nv8200p (talk) 00:48, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- A related note: I've noticed that Image:200inventions clarkson.jpg, and possibly other images you've uploaded, do not have source and copyright information. They may be tagged as having {{no source}} or being of {{unknown}} copyright status. Images given those tags can be deleted 7 days later without further warning. To prevent this, accurately tag all your images and provide their sources. For a list, see your 1 upload log. If you have questions or need help, post to my talk page. Thank you for your cooperation.. Superm401 | Talk 04:26, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Image:Vectors.jpg also needs a source, and I'm watching that too. Either put a source or leave the {{no source}} tag. Don't cheat. Superm401 | Talk 04:01, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, exactly what page did you find the Stratus image on? You only linked to the main page, which doesn't help. Please add detailed information to the image page. Superm401 | Talk 21:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
Check your facts
Hello again, I noticed that you added the Renault Avantime to the list of commercial flops. When I got to that page, I noticed that the facts you stated about the Avantime were wrong. For example, the Avantime was an MPV, not a city car. You also said it was in production for less than a year, when it was actually produced for two years. Remember to check your facts next time, OK? Thanks. --ApolloBoy 04:03, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Lister Storm
Please stop adding the Lister Storm to the list of commercial flops. Not only are your numbers incorrect (in excess of 25 have been sold), the Lister's numbers will always be limited because the company is a low-volume exotic manufacturer, with few resources compared to the big automakers. All the cars were made to order. --Pc13 09:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure you're tired of it by now, but Image:Newlaser.jpg, Image:Newlaser2.jpg, and Image:Newlaser3.jpg look like personal images, in which case you need to say so explicitly and license them with your preferred free license. Otherwise they're on the delete list! Stan 17:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Unexplained reverts
Hi, just curious why you've chosen to repeatedly revert 2 different users content changes to the Rice burner article without explanation or comment. Especially since all of Bloodshedder's edits were legitimate copyediting.

I reverted one of your edit
I reverted the image you added on the Dodge Caravan page. I'm sure your mom has a very nice minivan and you are also very proud of it. However, the quality of that particular photo cannot compare to the one that it replaced, so I put back the original picture. I am sure you can take a better picture with better lighting (perhaps in day time) so that the readers can at least see the car, not just the fence in front of it. I also noticed from the revision history that you made many "trial and error" type of edits in most articles you touched. May I point out that on the edit page, you can click on the "Show preview" button to see what your change would look like. Change it until you are happy with your edit before clicking that "Save page" button. Happy wiki-ing! Kowloonese 02:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted your edit to this article. The image you restored was removed in a previous edit, and is believed to violate copyright. The image cannot be restored until and unless unless fair use can be adequately demonstrated. RadioKirk talk to me 00:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:044.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:044.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 11:14, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Reversion back of BabuBhatt's edits to Tim Allen
Karrman, why did you revert back all of BabuBhatt's edits to Tim Allen? They were good faith edits that made the page more readable. BabuBhatt 02:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- You do not seem to be online anymore, though you just reverted my edits with no explanation. In perusing your usertalk page, I notice that dozens of people have called you out for unfounded edits and reversions you've made with no basis in fact. I am now going to revert the page in question back to my cleaned-up, edited, good faith version. Further recklessness may warrant an administrator's involvement.

Subjective Edits
Hi Karmann-
I wanted to let you know that I reverted two edits that you recently made.
- Edit No.1 involves the station wagon page and involves the Ford Escort image, stating that the car is a strong seller, which I changed to popular. The problem that I have with strong is that its hard to measure unless there are production numbers to back up the claim (did the wagon amount to X% of total Ford Escort sales for the year, etc?) Just to let you know, I am uncomfortable with my use of "popular" but it seemed a better choice because those of us in north America see this car frequently on the roads, etc.
- Edit No.2 on the Edsel Comet image, the caption you added implied several things that are not measurable.
I hope this explains the edits. Stude62 15:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Greetings. You tagged Image:Laser.jpg as {{NoRightsReserved}}. This is not correct. That's a copyrighted image, and it's use here in Wikipedia is a copyright violation. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 16:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, photos are on in the public domain (freely reproducable) if they were first published before 1933. It's ridiculous that copyright lasts so long, but it's the law. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 13:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's extremely unlikely. I've never heard of a corporation doing this. Do you have any evidence that this has happened? – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 21:24, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Image filenames
Hi there, I've noticed there are some images you've uploaded with slightly cryptic filenames:
- Image:Cars 005.jpg (Image:Dodge Caravan 1998.jpg)
- Image:Cars 008.jpg (Image:Ford Escort 1993.jpg)
- Image:Me5.JPG (Image:Karmann.jpg)
- Image:Taurus2.JPG (Image:Ford Taurus 1989.jpg)
Please consider re-uploading these files under more descriptive names; where possible, I've suggested them above in parenthesis; then tag them for deletion. Remember to update links and other references to the old names, and don't forget to re-tag with source and licencing information. Thanks. Rob Church 16:27, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Ford Explorer
Hi, Karmann. Yes the Expolrer did bomb in the UK but if that's enoguh to get the Explorer on the list, we should also list the Toyota Camry which bombed in Germany and Lexus LS which bombed Europe wide. Do you consider the Camry and the LS flops? I don't want to offend anyone but the British SUV market is too small to single handedly declare the Explorer a flop. Explorer sales in the US easly make up for the disappointing preformance in the UK. In other words, just becuase the car failed in the UK doesn't mean its a failure. Fact: most SUVs are sold in the US and in the American market the Explorer is king. Thank you. Regards, Signaturebrendel 04:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Newtalon.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Your good work is buried under hyperbole
Overall your passion for cars and your work on Wikipedia are impressive. But I do wish you would rethink your use of hyperbole in some of your edits. Making grand and sweeping claims detracts from your writing. The challenge of Wikipedia is controlling opinions when writing NPOV articles. I do really like the automotive flop idea, but sticking to facts will win arguments every time over emotional claims and outbursts. Stude62 22:07, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Greetings. The disambiguation community has previously debated the status of Tails, and determined that it should redirect to Tail (disambiguation), as no one use of the term is predominant. If it were to redirect to an article, it would likely be to tailcoat or to Tails (Lisa Loeb album). Cheers! BD2412 T 20:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Quotes
Being popular actually will get you somewhere. Would Arnold be governor of California if he wasn't popular? How does popularity amongst your peers in a school decide what your future will be?
Also, I noticed that you didn't create the following pages: The Vector, Gran Turismo 2, Plymouth Laser.
The McLaren F1 is the greatest vehicle ever created! NIRVANA2764 18:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
ok, here we go.
The Vector - Completely reformatted.
Plymouth Laser - Was a redirect, I turned it into an actual article.
Gran Turismo 2 - Same thing, was a redirect, changed it into an actual article.
Happy? --Karrmann
Looks like you just edited those pages instead of actually creating them. NIRVANA2764 02:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Image tagging
You have tagged 2 images Image:1991-95-Chrysler-TownandCountry-91101251990411.jpg and Image:1991-95-Chrysler-TownandCountry-93101251990502.jpg with copyright tags. Can you please tell me where is the source of these images. If you point to the links in the respective images, they are wrong. To make it more easier I will display the links here. For Image:1991-95-Chrysler-TownandCountry-91101251990411.jpg the source link is http://auto.consumerguide.com/images/autoreview/400x266/1991-95-Chrysler-TownandCountry- and for Image:1991-95-Chrysler-TownandCountry-93101251990502.jpg the source link is http://auto.consumerguide.com/images/autoreview/400x266/1991-95-Chrysler-TownandCountry-
Go ahead and click them. A page does open with this message "The page you have requested is no longer available." So how did you verify the copyright without a source? --Nivus(talk) 09:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- You fail to understand my question. Please read the above again. There is NO source. Can you point to me where it says that Consumer Guide only uses promotional images? I have no problem to your tagging these images as promotional as long as you can provide a proof for what you claim. Until then I am going to revert it back to "no copyright". There is a process which needs to be followed before you can tag a image. And it fails right at the beginning because it has no source. And please sign your comments. Thanks!! --Nivus(talk) 05:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
You must sign the RfC that you started
Karrmann, you must sign the statement of dispute in the RfC that you have begun on Take Me Higher. Once you do, then you need just one more signature. You will also need to review the additions that I have made. I know you overlooked it, but without your signature, the process can not move forward, and it could be mistaken as a sign of bad faith by starting something and not completing it. Stude62 16:46, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Karrmann, thank you for signing your portion of the statement of dispute. I have removed your comments that you placed following my Statement of Dispute for a couple reasons, first and foremost is that in order to be fair to Take Me Higher, your comments (comments by you) must be stated in your section, not following my statement of the dispute.
- Secondly, having been the subject of an RfC myself, I am very sensative to the continued addition of text once the dispute has been stated; continually adding text places the subject of the RfC in a no win position. There needs to be a concentration on the fact pattern; in the case that you mentioned, that the behavior continues is one thing, to state that there have been eight additional occurances since "X" will ad weight to your argument, and again, this would go in section with your statement in the first section. Remember, focus on the facts, not the personality. If you have any questions, please let me know. Stude62 23:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Possibly unfree Image:AYugo.jpg
- Hi there, obviously you found the AYugo.jpg picture on the internet and you do not own the copyright, so why do you insist on using it?!? --Asterion talk to me 11:54, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
