message: There seems to be some confusion as to the name of the founder.  Google has hits with either spelling.  The book Legendary Car Engines: Inner Secrets of the World's 20 Best by John Simister gives it as "Henry Pelham Lee".  Does anyone know for sure? -De Facto 12:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Regarding the initial block-to-head sealing problem FWMV Mk.I experienced, I used the description "Cooper Ring" straight from my source (Whitelock book in the ref list, I think. It was a while ago).  Its function is clearly the same as what we normally know as Wills Ring, and I thought Cooper Ring was another name for it.
187.48.60.10 edited the part to "copper ring gasket" and it was reverted to Cooper Ring, and this made me realize that "cooper ring" on the source book could have been a typo for "copper ring".  If someone (187.48.60.10 ?) has knowledge on this, please help by sharing it here. Yiba (talk) 01:43, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm just writing Wills Ring to address this. I've never heard of them under that name - to me they've always been Cooper Rings. Don't know if this was the same Cooper as the racing team, but I'd always assumed so - rather like Vandervell bearings. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:44, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Fantastic!  Thank you very much.  I've always known the thing as "Wills Ring", and your article educated me a lot.  Your ability to come up with such an article with fair amount of refs in such a short period is very impressive.  Thanks! Yiba (talk) 11:49, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. At least they haven't blocked me for it yet. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:27, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

message: The last time the Dewar Trophy was awarded before 1964, the recipient was Alec Issigonis for British Motor Corporation (BMC) in 1959 on the design and production of the ADO15 Mini, who once was a junior engineer at Coventry Climax. 
Really? When was this? (WP:Alec Issigonis makes no mention of any such thing)

replies: text: FWIW, Grace's Guide, which gives a fairly detailed rundown of Issigonis' employment history, also makes no mention of him working for Coventry Climax. DH85868993 (talk) 01:43, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

message: I think this section is already too large and unwieldy and with at least another six years to add it's going to get worse. So I suggest we either delete it or hive it off as a separate page. I would go with making a separate page. Halmyre (talk) 20:38, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Splitting out as a separate page sounds good to me too. DH85868993 (talk) 23:56, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

text: I support a split for the reasons given. -- DeFacto (talk). 06:10, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Finally got round to splitting it off. Good luck to whoever wants to complete it. Added a table of wins only instead. I now think the same needs to be done to the Cosworth DFV page as well. Halmyre (talk) 16:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

message: :It is a "no brainer" that an article does not meet the B-classification criteria: (#1)- ) with a page banner "needs additional citations for verification" and certainly with a "may need to be rewritten" tag (#4)-.) A tag, "Articles needing additional references from December 2013" gives a timeline. Reassess the article to C-class. --  Otr500 (talk) 14:21, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

message: Nine entries in the "External links" section is deep into link farming and needs to be severely trimmed. An article can be promoted with no "External links" section. While two or three seems to be readily accepted (but man we need a fourth for the fun of it) See: ELpoints $3. --  Otr500 (talk) 17:17, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
