message: I join this Project and would like to help it.
Im doing Iveco trucks and try to make the artikels more uniform.
In the artikels i myself make, i will only use the international unit system ,because i dont want the artikel to become cluttered and its massive work to convert every Unit again. Is this ok for everyone?
I think i only work on European Trucks so its no problem there.
Best wisches.

thread_title:  Hello 

message: As this WikiProject focuses on trucks, I am here to ask if an editor member could help review an article I've submitted at Articles for Creation for Plus, an autonomous trucking technology company based in Silicon Valley. The submission can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Plus_(company) 
I am an employee of Plus and have a conflict of interest, so I understand that the page needs to be carefully reviewed by editors. If editors here have any questions, I am more than happy to help. With gratitude, PlusJoc (talk) 22:38, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi PlusJoc, I admire what you're doing and the draft article too. I have never taken any interest in the various rules and regulations within Wikipedia — I'm more of a "try it on and see what happens" man myself. So I am no use to you.

message: Hi,
i just noticed that under the "chassis" section it says that the truck is equipped with dual tyres per side per axle - only a single drawing among dozens of pictures show a dual tyre setup. All others show single tyre configurations. I am not knowledgeable enough on this topic to actually change the article, i just noticed the discrepancy. Can someone fix that? MikeTango (talk) 17:52, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that the M939 uses the dual setup, while the M939A1 and M939A2 use singles. I'll try to adjust the wording so that's clearer. --Sable232 (talk) 22:45, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: Combustion engines are used in many applications - Aerospace, automotive, marine and industrial. Some articles on them have infobox templates;  (aviation),  (automotive) and  (spaceflight). Wikipedia's wider community has a consensus to merge infobox templates where possible. Various aircraft infobox templates are being merged, and the question has arisen, should the aero engine infobox be merged in with them, or would it be better to merge and extend the existing engine infoboxes? There is an ongoing discussion here , which you are invited to join. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 05:34, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Hello, I'm here at this WikiProject seeking feedback on an article I've submitted to Articles for Creation. The article is for Gatik, an autonomous trucking company, which I am an employee of. I understand that means I have a conflict of interest, so I'm here seeking editor feedback.
My initial draft was declined, but since then, I have revised it and trimmed parts of the draft to hopefully address editor concerns. If anybody is willing to review the draft, I would deeply appreciate it, and if you have any questions, I am more than ready to answer. 
Here is a link to the draft: Draft:Gatik|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gatik
Thank you so much! Miranda at Gatik (talk) 16:05, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi - back here to ping User:Sable232 to see if they would be interested in providing feedback on the Gatik article from above since they've been active on this Talk page in the past.

message: seems like it should be an overview article, much like art bike and art car, instead of being a redirect to Japanese art trucks. Airbrushed trucks in North America, or trucks with paint schemes, lights and bells in Southeast Asia, and other such, would seem to lack coverage. -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 21:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
