thread_title: Cleanup needed

message: I think we might want to point out that Diablo models were somewhat different in the United States vs. Rest of World. Aside from the cosmetic differences, not all models (like the GT) reached American shores. As far as I know (and correct me if I'm wrong), the U.S. model list looked like this (years are MODEL YEARS):
* 1991-1993: Diablo (RWD coupe only)
* 1994: Diablo SE coupe, VT coupe
* 1995: Diablo VT coupe only
* 1996: Diablo VT coupe, VT Roadster
* 1997: Diablo VT Roadster only
* 1998: Diablo SV coupe, SV Monterey coupe, VT Roadster
* 1999: Diablo VT Roadster (Mk 2), SV coupe (Mk 2), MOMO Roadster (12 built), Alpine VT coupe (12 built)
* 2000: Diablo Millennium Roadster, 6.0 VT??
* 2001: Diablo 6.0 VT only

thread_title:  Images 

message: This page is of a very poor quality in my opinion. It needs definitely some clean up. There are really a lot of mistakes in it and it looks terrible. I will make some major changes in a couple of weeks when I have time.

* until someone have provided a better rear shot of the Diablo, I will continue of posting the picture.  The picture gives the viewers of a picture of what the Diablo's rear looks like.. and please sign your name.  Jpogi 14:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And you need to stop adding fair use images to this article. There are pleanty free use images of the Diablo readilly available, so a fair use image is unacceptiable. And the images are not poor, they adquitely show the details of the cars appearance. Keep in mind that on WIkipedia, images are only supposed to show a cars appearance, they are not supposed to make the car look good nor bad. Karrmann 14:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The pictures provides the readers of the different Diablos (and of different colors) that were released; whether the picture are of good quality or not. Jpogi 14:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

text: The pictures are of adiquete quality. He must think that any image that doesn't glorify the car is "poor quality". Karrmann 14:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I'll go with karrmann in keeping the pictures..  I'm also thinking of putting back the gallery. I'll make sure that everytime that se30 opens this article, he'll/she'll find out that the pictures are still there.  Jpogi 15:34, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Very poor 

message: The current text on the Diablo GTR is word for word taken from http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/635/Lamborghini-Diablo-GTR.html and seems to come from a Lamborghini press kit. Is this a copyright violation, then, or can one assume that a text handed out to the press for the express purpose of publication falls under GDFL regulations? -- At least it´s bad style by the "author" to quote without giving the source. --328cia (talk) 21:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyright violation?

message: The Diablo wasn't the first car to go over the 200mph barrier. The Ferrari F40 went 201mph which IS faster 200mph. The Diablo went 202.33mph according to the American car magazine 'Road and Track' which tested the original car. This page is rubbish and so is the information.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.184.64 (talk) 10:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merger Proposal (Closed)

message: I believe I have completed my exhaustive re-working of this page.  It was undeniably bad to begin with, containing a great deal of spurious information, fragments and poorly written sentences, and serious amounts of direct-lift plagiarism, which I consider to be a copyright violation.  I added a lot of omitted information, tailored the page to a universal format, carefully converted units as appropriate, and added some informative tables.  Proper citations have been done throughout the article.  I realize, fully, that I used a GREAT deal of information from lambocars.com, which might seem like a single-source monopoly that could cause false information, but there are really not a lot of reputable web sources on this subject.  I would have to hit the books in order to refine it any further, as the other sites I visited were just as poor as this article was to begin with.  
I will be keeping a close eye on this page to monitor vandalism or more inaccurate additions.  Finally, I think that this article may now be eligible for a better than B-class rating.

message: There existed a heavily modified version called the Diablo Coatl, of which exterior quite differed from the original Diablo. I'm considering putting it on this page, but sadly, my work got deleted. So here I want to know your idea of whether to add the Coatl or not. ArcTempesta (talk) 14:57, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diablo Coatl, to add or to remove? 

message: Here is the source that states the diablo was called the Costanga. An official Lamborghini dealer won't lie. https://www.lamborghinipalmbeach.com/blog/history-of-the-lamborghini-diablo/And here are other sources. I'm sure you will have a hard time proving this as a hoax.https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2018-48/djetset-884/25/?PHPSESSID=p5vb7t3dgog53foo9mtu1sldj1https://www.motorpasion.com.mx/lamborghini/recordando-a-lamborghini-diablo-el-coche-de-poster-que-seguramente-tuviste-en-tu-cuarto U1 quattro TALK 04:29, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: All of that is meaningless, it was published after the text was added to the page, if you think those writing for various publications don't copy from Wikipedia give this a read. Toasted Meter (talk) 04:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

text: Because they had some intern write it. Trusting car dealers to actually know anything is a bad idea. Why if this was a real thing are there no mentions of it on the internet before it was added to this page? And I can't read them because one is a website that has no mentions of "Costanga" anywhere and the other would require me to read thousands of issues of a teen magazine in Spanish. Toasted Meter (talk) 05:28, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: And how can you say that it was written by an intern? You're just assuming things. I think we have to email Lamborghini to see if this really existed.U1 quattro TALK 05:30, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I am guessing on that one, but the accuracy of car dealers blogs is not something I would put any confidence in. Go ahead and email Lamborghini, you might also want to try and find a Mexican distributor/dealer who was around at the time. Toasted Meter (talk) 05:46, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

text: Actually, I won't waste my time in finding a Mexican dealer who was around that time as a confirmation from Lamborghini would be enough. U1 quattro TALK 05:47, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  so when Lamborghini won't give me any response on this inquiry, I decided to email the administration of LamboCARS, a website which is mostly used in this article. They confirmed that such a car existed but its engine was not detuned. The Mexicans didn't want a car called "The Devil" so Lamborghini changed the name of the car for the Mexican market.U1 quattro TALK 01:57, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Did they pass along anything that can be used as a source? e.g. brochure, registration, photos? Toasted Meter (talk) 03:40, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I used the dealership source instead of those old Mexican sources as this seems to be more relevant. They didn't pass to me any source, but they did confirm that such a car existed particularly because the company records say so. They didn't share with me any such records though.U1 quattro TALK 04:20, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be preferable to have that source, could you ask them to upload it or pass it along? Toasted Meter (talk) 05:34, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have sent them another follow up email regarding verifiability and will see if they send a source.U1 quattro TALK 06:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lamborghini Costanga 

message: LamboCARS is used widely in this article. I don't know why it shouldn't be relied upon when deciding for the Lamborghini Costanga. U1 quattro TALK 18:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a reliable source. It is a one man blog, run by someone with no relevant expertise, look at WP:SELFPUBLISH. I don't think it should be removed completely from the page (it should be replaced with reliable sources where those can be found), but when the claims are as questionable as this, it can not be referred to as any kind of authority. Toasted Meter (talk) 22:08, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

text: Forums are not reliable sources, and this Lamborghini Palm Beach source very likely copied it from Wikipedia, car dealers are not known for journalistic accuracy. Toasted Meter (talk) 17:22, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

text: The Mexican magazine is not a source, we have no issue number so the information could be in one of many thousands of issues, a source that is impossible to verify is as good as the word of the random IP who added it. Toasted Meter (talk) 05:49, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
