replies: text: Finished reviewing the images for now. The definite infringements will be deleted in due process, and I shall follow up on those two dubious fair use ones within 3 days. The fair use replaceable can stay for a couple of weeks, then we'll have to think about getting rid of it. Rob Church Talk 15:49, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The Australian section dominates the article, a separate Ford Falcon (Australia) article seems justified, surely the Falcon GT (including GTHO) deserves an article of its own similar to Chrysler Valiant, separated from Valiant (automobile) and Valiant Charger.

replies: text: At the moment the article is still under the 32kB limit, and the Australian Falcons are direct descendants of the US 1960s Falcons, so I don't think there is any reason to hive off the Australian content. But that is the obvious solution if the article grows over the 32kB limit. Grant65 | Talk 10:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Seems to me this article should be separated. It doesn't mention the North American market Falcon at all, that I noticed, & that's what I wanted...  Trekphiler 11:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Australian Falcon section split off proposed 

message: How exactly does the E-Series qualify as a disaster? Because a couple of doorlocks and engine controllers played up in the EA? 
The car was still the best-selling car from its release until the year before it's replacement (The VT Commodore took the lead). 
Someone please justify the name 'disaster'.--Scott Nash 11:05, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Granted there was some teething problems.... like the ancient 3-speed auto initially, and everyone laughed at the 3.2L carby option. But the EA was a reasonable car by all accounts, far from a lemon.  My dad bought a EA fairmont brand new, and it was a lovely car. Much smoother than the VP Commodore I bought. Although at first she tended to stick in 2nd gear when flooring it, but hey that's the bathtub curve for you. --Jquarry 04:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  E-Series "disaster" 

message: Is this still true with the creation o fthe Ve Commodore?
"Falcon, Fairlane and LTD are the only current volume-built true Australian cars, which are wholly styled in Australia from original sketchpad concept and then engineered and manufactured here."

message: Can someone please list some references for this claim?  Not only to keep it encyclopedic, but for us Ford owners to drool over and ponder the costs incurred to get such performance from our vehicles?  :P 211.30.71.59 16:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Verification of 1000 kW claim

message: My cousin works as a mechanic at a Ford dealer\service centre and he works on police vechiles. He has told me on many occasions about changes to the 'standard' Falcon (ECU) software to give police vehicles an extra bit of performance. I don't know where the person who put the sentence in origianlly got it from but it is incorrect.

thread_title:  Performance enhancement for Police cars 

message: Can somebody confirm that the Falcon will be coming to the States to replace the Crown Vic? If so, will we get the Ute as well? Many people would love a new Ranchero. Chevy would bring over the Holden Ute to go up against it as the El Camino. 67.188.172.165 01:45, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Replacing the Crown Vic?

message: These images bothe show the GT models of these cars, which look completely different from the standard models, which have the majority. If you want to keep these images shouldn't we at least make a note that these are the GT versions?
:If you roll over the picture the tool tips do say these are GT's. However if you feel that mainstream models should be featured in the infoboxes, please replace them with an appropriate image. I do ask though, that if this is done, that the GT images are placed on the page somewhere, perhaps following a piece of text created to inform about the E-Series GT's.

thread_title:  Change the images of the EB and EL 

message: HB4026- Hello, I have identified the size problem on the Ford Falcon article, so I am going to split it up into model sub-articles. Therefore, they can have more detail and load up quicker. I have already finished the AU Falcon article, and Ive gone over the BA and BF articles and they're pretty good. Can you fill in some more detail on the EL falcon and articles Predating the EL Falcon? If you can thanks. HB4026 03:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
