Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions

message: I've noticed over the past several months, there have been numerous clashes between editors when it comes to changing the Infobox images, specifically the main Infobox image. Rule 5 states that "The image selected for an article's top (lead) infobox does not need to show any particular version or generation of the vehicle, such as the latest, the last, the first, the best-selling, or any other.". This, I feel, is the reason for the clashes. Since there is no set rule in place (basically implying any image can be used so long that quality is good), numerous editing clashes have occurred as a result (ex. Toyota Alphard, Buick LaCrosse, Toyota Crown, and the infamous Honda Concerto edit war). I'm proposing adopting the standard of the main Infobox image being of the latest generation of a model (including facelifts) in order to reflect changes in a brand's design language and identity (such as Buick's new Pure Design philosophy and new corporate logo, for example). This would help to reduce editing wars over which image is acceptable to use, as well as set the standard for vehicle pages going forward.
I also would like to propose that any images of a model's latest generation can be used, so long as the lighting is good (as in not dark), and the vehicle can be seen. Way too often have I seen images used, only to be reverted on the grounds of "disruptive", which is subjective. Antares600 (talk) 00:40, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

message: I've noticed there are a variety of different styles of galleries being used across automotive articles and wanted to see if any editors here have a preference when it comes to which should be used, whether for aesthetic, formatting, or accessibility reasons. I personally like to use packed galleries for a lot of the articles I edit as I think it produces the best look, but I know that the traditional layout is still the dominant format.

Talk:Lone wolf attack

message: When the Hutus used their control over their "mass media" to demonize the Tootsies, which resulted in the Rwandan genocide, everyone understood clearly what the definition of "Stochastic Terrorism" was.
But now, due to who controls the mass media, this obvious and clear definition is obscured and clouded by fusing it with some bullshit notion of "lone wolves", while ignoring the primary characteristic, which is who controls the mass media, and who (currently) uses it to demonize which group.72.181.112.54 (talk) 17:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: NERF FAR

message: What's with all the statements about needlers being compact high rate of fire weapons? Anything that fires a spike, which has to be big enough to maintain aerodynamics, would have a large resiveur for the projectiles, plus whatever is  supposed to propel a spike, be it magnetism, air pressure, explosives. If it's compact, it wont have a high rate of fire and vice versa, exceptions being bulpup assault rifles, but still, spikes need space; so it'd still have a huge clip.

message: "Flechette projectiles do not deflect off typical surfaces as easily as regular bullets due to the longer distribution of mass and reduce the danger to bystanders."

Talk:Wax bullet

message: Wax bullets are not just for revolvers.  I use them in a Colt 1911 govt .45.  An auto pistol, properly set up will feed empty cases - the only problem is that you have to work the slide by hand.  Bruce:  Savage Pistol Defense School
:You can also feed them right into the chamber, but it's hard on the 1911 style extractor (which is meant to be a CRF, not a push-feed).  Most magazine feed guns, in my experience, will not feed an empty from the magazine, the wide front and drastically shorter OAL causes the round to either catch on bottom of the feed ramp, or pop up at too high an angle and stop at a 45 degree angle.  The 1911, with the original frame based feed ramp setup, eliminates the first problem, but most will still have problems with the angle of entry.  -- scot (talk) 20:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

i could somehow not edit this, but according to the article "mode" in the New Grove dictionary of music, 2nd ed.,2001, this is at least quite an oversimplification. not only does it sound as if this were the only scale used in all of gagaku (which does indeed use 6 different modes, 3 of the "ryo" type (2 of which could be said to be roughly equivalent to a mixolydian scale, 1 to a lydian scale) and 3 of the "ritsu" type (dorian), which are further modified in that the second and sixth scale degrees, for the ritsu scales, are often flattened), but also, so I think, uses the chinese term, which could confuse some people.
