message: :Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title:  JDM as F*ck 

message: The yellow and green symbol used is the same as the symbol/colours on the young driver's registration, when it is the orange one it is the colours from the "older drivers" registration, I learned it from a co-worker who frequents Japan coz I wanted to know the origin as well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.131.21.254 (talk) 09:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reply to JDM as F*ck 

message: I have removed the following text from the article:
This issue can be addressed by replacing headlights with those meeting local standards (e. g. DOT for USA), which is possible for most models produced concurrently for LHD and RHD markets. For example, JDM Toyota Aristo can be fitted with Lexus GS headlamp units from respective market (DOT headlamps in North America or European specification headlamps in Europe) to eliminate the irregular lighting pattern.
This text is not apposite to this article, which is about JDM vehicles and components—not about modifying vehicles imported from one market to another, which is a subject covered comprehensively in Grey import vehicle and Japanese used vehicle exporting. The statement about JDM headlamps being unsafe for use in right-traffic countries is apposite and, most importantly, is verifiable and supported. Even if the removed text were apposite to this article, it appears to be original research, and is not supported. Adding unsourced material is noncompliant with Wikipedia policy, and this article already contains a great deal of it. More unsourced material aggravates this article's condition, rather than improving it. Moreover, the removed text contained the odd (and unsupportable) statement that JDM headlamps create an "irregular" lighting pattern. Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a how-to manual, providing yet another solid, policy-based warrant for removing poorly-written, unsourced text explaining how to do something not within the scope of the article. —Scheinwerfermann T·C20:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right that the headlamp information was not appropriately written for this article; it was without any context. I have added that context with new text and links about the general export of JDM vehicle components for installation on non-JDM vehicles. I've also changed the language on the headlamp discussion to make it clear that the issue is because the headlamps are for left traffic, not because they are for the Japanese market per se. I have cleaned up the Frame Number information and put it into encyclopædic language, and provided links to the relevant articles about JDM vehicle export. The material about how to convert a JDM vehicle's headlamps for use in a right-traffic country does not belong in this article; it's covered extensively in the articles now clearly linked from this one. Play nice and don't beat other Wikipedians over the head with what you understand to be Wikipedia policy, please and thank you. —Scheinwerfermann T·C05:36, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There are 2 parts that has been installed in Japan domestic market cars but not everywhere else. Those includes the speed chime (Japanese Wikipedia article), and Truck speed indicator (Japanese Wikipedia article). The speed chime is best known in anime called Initial D, but the truck speed indicator is relatively obscure (unless if you imported JDM 2nd hand trucks).
Is it a good idea to include those in this article?
