Talk:Speer

message: The disambiguation entry for "Robert Speer, Mayor of Denver, Colorado" redirects to Robert M. Speer, a Pennsylvania politician.  The mayor of Denver was Robert W. (Walker???) Speer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.100.171.121 (talk • contribs) 
:Not so far as I can see. Here is the unedited entry in question:

Talk:Renault 16

message: Would it be possible to get some non-euro content included? The R16 (amongst other Renault models) was manufactured in Australia during the 1970's, so production wasn't restricted to France. 
193.24.65.33 (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non-Euro Content 

message: I remember that early French and German market Renault 16s with manual transmission had the gear lever up just behind the steering wheel.   In the words of French wiki, that's not because there was a front bench seat (perish the thought) but simply because this was the fashion at the time.   
: Actually, most R16's have front chairs, only the cheapest versions in the early years had a bench. Steering mounted gear levers were not uncommon at the time indeed. It also had to do with the practicality of the R16; it saved space compared to a floor mounted lever. Drfisheye (talk) 00:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: A mate of mine had a RHD Peugeot 404 with a column shift, and my parents had a 1961 Morris Oxford and 1969 Saab 95 - both RHD - with the same feature. Mr Larrington (talk) 13:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

text: All R16's had the steering mounted lever. The gearbox ahead of the engine actually improved the handling of the car, since the engine could now be placed before the front-wheels; so it's a mid-engine car. Drfisheye (talk) 00:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Renault Caravelle

message: I drove a 1964 Renault Caravelle in 1979. Lord, what a horrible piece of junk! If you are going to subject yourself to driving an old Renault, track down a Gordini, and don't be tempted by a Caravelle no matter what, unless you are going to plant geraniums in it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.3.249 (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  My Test Drive in 1979 

message: The car was marketed in Australia as the Floride. At the time there was a raging and acrimonious debate as to whether or not to combat the country's bad child dental problems by adding Flouride to the water. You can guess the rest. Not used to hearing French, the Australians mis-pronounced the car's name as the "Renault Flouride", and no amount of French exasperation could change it. Flouride it remained. It attracted the single woman, who wanted a good looking car and did not need a 4 seater to pick up the kids from school. It was, by the standards of the day, a beautiful looking car, as you would expect from France, nothing like the USA muscle cars (Corvette, Mustang) nor the smooth but sporty UK cars (MG, Healy etc). It quickly became viewed as a "Girl's car" in Australia, a very male oriented country, so sales were disappointing. The ladies that I know loved it, and I never saw it used as a flower pot. All were imported from France, maybe the "Junk" was made in the USA, they are experts in that sort of planned obsolescence. I owned a Renault R8/1100 at the time, still the best car that I owned for the era.Historygypsy (talk) 15:43, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't have access to the issue of Auto Plus that is Reference 4, and it may state that, "The "Floride" name was considered unsuitable for 49 of the 50 states of the USA" - but the USA had 48 states in 1958, when the Caravelle was launched.
I am not going to edit this article to say, "47 of the 48 states of the USA" - since the info has a reference, and I would need to find that reference or another reference. 208.67.205.54 (talk) 15:02, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Hajos-Parrish reaction

message: Origin of the name of the reaction
The name for this reaction took some time to develop. In 1985 Professor Agami and associates were the first to name the proline catalyzed Robinson annulation the Hajos-Parrish reaction [19]. In 1986 Professor Henri B.Kagan and Professor Agami [20] still called it the Hajos-Parrish reaction in the Abstract of this paper. In 2001 Professor Kagan published a paper entitled “Nonlinear Effects in Asymmetric Catalysis: A Personal Account” in Synlett [21]. In this paper he introduced the new title the Hajos-Parrish-Wiechert reaction. In 2002 Professor Benjamin List added two more names and introduced the term Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction [22].Scientific papers published as late as 2008 in the field of organo-catalysis use either the 1985, 2001 or 2002 names of the reaction.Zghajos (talk) 19:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Devastation-class ironclad

message: Devastation Turret Class Ship was incorrectly created as a new article by the WP:AFC process. It is a rewrite of this existing treatment of the subject, and now needs to be merged into the existing article. Benea (talk) 16:16, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:NCSHIPS suggests that the most appropriate title is the one at the existing article title (the current one is a capitalisation and grammar mess, there are two ships discussed in this class - if there was one ship, well there was one already existing at HMS Devastation (1871) and a merge of some information may be appropriate there), the proper task is a merge of the information into the existing class article. It's too bad that in this case the user was not asked to add his information into a rewrite of the existing page, the criteria at WP:AFC clearly has in the quick-fail criteria the clause that if the subject is covered elsewhere. The appropriate act is a rewrite of the existing article, not a creation of a duplicate one with different information. Insufficient work was carried out to determine if an article on the same subject already existed, despite there being ample links to the existing class article elsewhere, and the original submitter's comment on the talk page that "Have rewritten the original artical blending the original text in with the added material." Self-righteousness aside, is it too much to ask those at AFC to do the checks properly before making more work for other users to do histmerges and so on. Benea (talk) 22:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Peugeot 402

message: Am I reading that right? This was a system that meant you were effectively running your car's engine on carbon monoxide?! That's not a typo or mistranslation? CO is more normally a waste product in the vehicle's own exhaust, or at least it commonly was until emissions regulations really tightened up on it... 193.63.174.254 (talk) 19:08, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The French term used is Gazogène.   In reality, it seems to have been a combination in variable proportions of combustible gases only one of which was carbon monoxide.   I understand that carbon monoxide was also ONE of the elements included in town gas which here in England was piped round the countryside and used to power domestic gas cookers till they discovered ways to extract combustible gases from under the North Sea.   I suggest you take a look at the Gazogène entry in French wiki.   It includes several chemical formulae which as far as I know (and probably I don't) make sense in terms of the chemistry even if one is not fluent in French.   You might even put it into google translate and see if anything remotely intelligible emerges.   Success.   Charles01 (talk) 19:38, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coal gas generator 

message: The article states "Interest in the Éclipse resurfaced more than half a century later with the “reinvention” of the retractable hardtop by the 1995 Misubishi [sic] 3000GT Spyder and subsequent popularization of the concept by cars such as the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class.[8]"
But there were other retractable hardtops manufactured and sold between 1939 and 1995.  One was the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner described in the Wiki article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fairlane_500_Skyliner.  This was another landmark, followed by others from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Volvo, Chrysler, Lexus, and even Buick.
There is a very good history of retractable hardtops in the Wiki article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retractable_hardtop.
Mentioning the 1995 Mitsubishi necessitates referencing at least the 1957-59 Skyliner.

message: In the section "Culture", the article mentions the car used in the TV show "Columbo". I just removed a note as follows: 
" It wasa 1959, NOT a 1960, according to IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1466074/trivia)."
The note was suitable only for the talk page, but the fact that IMDb says the car is a 1959 model, not 1960 as was claimed here needs checking. I put "either or" for the time being.  It could of course be the case that IMDb is wrong about the year of the car; IMDb is not a very reliable source. Invertzoo (talk) 13:02, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
