thread_title: File:Opel Mokka 2012.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: Hello, I tagged this article as having NPOV and Tone issues because the word usage is too informal and it is written like a fanzine article on the subject as opposed to an encyclopedic article. The article could use a good copy edit.

replies: text: Yes, sadly a mental sock puppeteer by the name of Kalaua has decided to go nuts with all Opel articles, adding countless photos and tons of unsourced or simply misunderstood content. I can't keep up, so we'll just have to have a WP in which Kalaua may play around at will.  Mr.choppers | ✎  16:42, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent tagging of article 

message: Referring to the photograph in the article, it seems a bit strange to caption it as a safety bicycle.  While undeniably of the "safety" design, rather than the high-wheeler or "penny-farthing," the machine shown is a classic tradesman's or errand-boy's bicycle, once common in Britain, and still, I believe, used in continental Europe, especially where vehicular access is difficult in pedestrianised parts of towns and cities.  It seems an odd choice to represent the safety bicycle, as it has a number of non-typical features like differently-sized wheels (to reduce the centre of gravity and the height of the carrier at the front), the carrier itself, the stand and the advertising panel - all contributing to its fairly hefty weight.  I presume the Opel trade name may have been the motivation in selecting it.  Pavel (talk) 15:32, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  GM releases photos with Creative Commons 3.0 licence 

message: With all due respect: IMHO a fanzine, as asserted by Jeremy, still sounds a lot different like that article about Opel. In terms of its style I perceive it as being relatively similar to the article about Volkswagen or the German language article about Opel. So I'd propose to remove the corresponding tagging of the article regarding the supposedly existing tone- or NPOV issues, because this goes too far in my opinion. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by GLstbg (talk • contribs) 20:20, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

war's end must be understood as "occupation by the allied troops"?

message: The article contradicts itself in dealing with Pugeot and GM. The intro and body of the article needs to be updated to take account of Pugeot, and whatever future plans GM had for Opel will now be defunct plans. -- 65.94.169.56 (talk) 07:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradictory

message: :There are six multiple issue maintenance tags on the article and another two or three that are deserving to be placed. The validity of all of them may be questioned or all might be deserving.
:In the forth-coming weeks I am going to try to hash some of this out. I consider that I can approach this neutrally as I have no "agenda", except attempting to straighten out some serious issues and see if a B-class can be obtained, and possibly higher. To this end any collaboration would be appreciated from all "sides" of issues. If any editors have concerns, thoughts, ideas, or comments I would appreciate some communication as I do not intend to wade into edit wars.
:If I find no evidence on the talk page discussing the issues of tags, and I can't readily see such issues, I will remove the tags during edits and any concerns can be dealt with from that time. The lead of course is at the top, as well as rewording areas, adding some album sections to condense the article for a better presentation, and of course referencing.

message: This otherwise well-written and interesting article neglects the fact that Opel (as did numerous other German companies) used slave labor during WW2. Other Wikipedia descriptions of German companies include such information, and this article should also. This would be of special interest to readers because Opel was owned by GM. Did GM make restitution to impressed workers after the War? Simcha69 (talk) 15:33, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Simcha69 This is a potentially interesting topic to include, however we require reliable sources reporting on the matter for inclusion. Do you have sources from which such content can be built?--Hippeus (talk) 11:11, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
