message: The edit that was recently reinstated includes the phrase "To learn more about TransGo/Gil Younger please visit our website ".  Coupled with the fact that the editor who wrote that has only made one edit to the entire site, it is clear that a person affiliated with TransGo wrote that addition, which violates WP:COI.
If some of the information was useful, it should be added by independent editors.  Reading through it, there were several unfounded claims that promoted the company, such as '"Shift Kits" are utilized throughout the automatic transmission repair industry to insure the successful rebuild or repairing of the customers vehicle.'

thread_title:  ehow.com 

message: I remember these from a number of 1980s and 1990s Alfa Romeos, and I recall that they were just called wind deflectors. However, of more importance, I have never seen a wind deflector attached the car (unless it is in relation to a sunroof) because you would not be able to open the door if it was attached the a-pillar...  for an example see some pictures at Mick's Garage (Ireland). A US company selling auto spares also calls them wind deflectors Autoanything.com. 
Of course to add to the confusion, this term also is used for convertible wind deflectors that sits between the front seats and the boot/trunk) of the car (see Just Wind Deflectors).

Talk:Vow of obedience

message: Hi, I reworded a sentence of the introduction that read It forms part of the religious vows that Christian religious must make to enter the consecrated life…. The main objection was that you do not make vows to enter the consecrated life (to make vows is a rather final step), another one was that not all members of the consecrated life make vows or even a vow of obedience. For example, the consecrated virgins make not a vow but something that is called a propositum.--Medusahead (talk) 08:31, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Elektronischer Teile Katalog oder Elektronischer Teilekatalog?

message: I don't think "programme" is really the word to use to describe ETKA, for two reasons: (a) "programme" is generally spelled "program" (yes, even in the UK) when used in the sense of "computer program", and (b) to describe ETKA as a program is an oversimplification, as it is a combination of client-server software, database and online service. Letdorf (talk) 20:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll gladly defer to your better knowledge of the correct terminology in that respect :-)  All I was trying to establish is that ETKA is currently being used and supported in three different "evolutions" of the basic backbone "program", and ETKA call these "Revision"s (7.0, 7.1, and 7.2).  And these three current evolutions or "Revision"s are updated nigh-on every other day with what ETKA call "Update"s.  These Updates are not interchangable between the three current Revisions (an Update released for Revision 7.0 will not work on Revision 7.1 or 7.2).  And these "Update"s contain databases which are installed on the local machine.  Furthermore, ETKA can function as a pure stand-alone programme, and can will have all part numbers stored on the local PC.  Anyway, perhaps you can word those points better than I can.

replies: text: That's why I headed this thread "Merge"? Yes, Alarm device may be a good place, although I've not yet checked how much overlap there is with Warning system.

replies: text: I agree that a redirect from Warning buzzer to Alarm device sounds like a good idea, and Alarm device already describes something similar to this. Warning system is less appropriate; it deals with ways of alerting populations to danger, rather than signals that something is wrong with a vehicle. Warning buzzer had been proposed for deletion, but I declined prod. IMO it should be a straight redirect rather than a merge; there really isn't anything at this article worth merging. --MelanieN (talk) 02:16, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

message: It says the 2B has 93 HP at 2200 rpm, but that seems incorrect compared to the other B series engines, and should probably be around 3500 rpm. Vince (talk) 10:02, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know that true values for the 2B or 3B but the 2B has a higher compression ratio than the 3B. Since the 3B is only a little bigger than the 2B, it is quite possible that the 2B has a little more power. Size is not the only indicator of power - compression ration, valve timing, injection timing/pressure and many other factors determine the final HP figure. However, it does look like the 2200 rpm for max torque value was used for both torque and HP. The true rmp for max HP is probably in the 3000-3600 rpm range (ie similar to the rest of the range) but I don't know the exact value and I prefer no value rather than a guessed value.  Stepho  talk  07:19, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

The second bullet of the section, "Today," describes a "limited use" spare tire as being known also as a "spacesaver" or "compact." Again, this implies that a donut is different and not in the same category as a "limited use."<BR>
