thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:Ford Motor Company Logo.svg

message: How come it isn't mentioned that Mercury has already been discontinued in Canada?  It hasn't existed here for at least 6 years now.

thread_title:  Discontinued in Canada 

message: It wasn't actually a concept, but a prototype: the 1949 Town Sedan, a 4-door resembling the Suburban. It was never built. (See Street Rodder, 7/94, p.14.)  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  00:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: What a concept

message: It has always been my impression that the current Mercury logo is a stylized representation of the wing on the god Mercury's hat.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.103.115 (talk) 13:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's a Sable's grille. The article was vandalized. I saw it before but I thought I'd reverted it, guess not. --Sable232 (talk) 13:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logo 

message: Currently, the closeup image of the Mercury logo shown in a grille lists it as being from a Grand Marquis.  However, I am pretty sure that is a Sable's grille.  The Grand Marquis never had a blacked out grille (the Marauder did), while the shape of the grille is more Sable than Marauder.  --SteveCof00 (talk) 09:17, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Question about Grille Photo

message: As it currently stands, repetition of content is probably a bigger issue than verification.  Even before the History section moves into a timeline, Mercury-Ford platform sharing is mentioned at least twice, if not three times.  As far as the rest of the article goes, the format itself works well, and it's mostly a "work in progress"--SteveCof00 (talk) 23:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I see you added sales figures recently.  While valuable to have, a couple comments.. First, I think listing each model and each year is too specific.  Readers can see recent yearly sales by model on the individual model pages.  I would instead suggest one list for all Mercury models by year, and maybe another list for each Mercury model for the time range you have info for.  Second, there is a "total production" at the end of each row, but production figures (sometimes given in calendar years) are different from sales figures. --Vossanova o< 19:42, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The production figures/sales figures totals output should be corrected by now (most all the articles have their figures in the latter anyways).  If the table were re-organized to display it by total division sales, it would likely have to be changed to 2002-2009, since for some reason, only the Grand Marquis has sales/production figures for 2001 (which would definitely throw off the math).   That's still 8 years of figures though.  --SteveCof00 (talk) 20:45, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be removed. Between being inconsistent (model year production figures for the Grand Marquis and calendar year US-only sales figures for the rest) and being misleading (giving a "total" when several models have the 2001 sales figure missing), I feel it serves little to no useful purpose on this article. There may be an argument for including them on the individual car articles, but not here. --Sable232 (talk) 07:20, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fixing up the Mercury article 

message: To avoid the back-and-forth editing, I was able to find out through Mercury's own website that only the Mountaineer was dropped after the 2010 model year.  Although there is no product literature listed for it (then again, it hasn't been advertised on TV for over a decade), the 2011 Grand Marquis pricing information is available on their website for comparison purposes, and that's what I used for a reference.  In the future, something to work on for this article would be finding sources in order to change the text of the article from future tense to past tense (since it won't be the 4th quarter of 2010 forever).

thread_title: Clarifications about discontinuation

message: The section about the meaning of the logo is unsourced, and frankly sounds made up.  It's a stylized letter M???  It's a foot with a wing?  I'm deleting that since those are purely guesses, and bad ones at that.   99.98.221.223 (talk) 03:45, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logo meaning 

message: Are we quite sure the red Capri photo is a '94 model?  'Cuz it sure as heck looks like a '93 XR2 to me ... for one thing, '94's had 5 or 7 spoke wheels; the 3-spoke was a '93 wheel. Renaissongsman (talk) 04:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  '94 Capri Photo 

message: Odd that there's no photo of the first ('39) Mercury. Several are featured at Mercury Eight. Sca (talk) 16:29, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
