Talk:Monte Carlo Rally

message: : Ah - so that would be an accurate rendition of the sound of Henri Rougier's Turcat-Mery crossing the finish line at the 1911 Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo?  (Either that or it was mindless vandalism of our pristine Talk page - it's so hard to tell.)  :-) SteveBaker 19:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is Ford Motor Company mentioned in this article as a british company ?? As far as I know, Ford was ALWAYS an AMERICAN company, based at Dearborn, Michigan, USA.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.80.191.190 (talk) 11:31, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Had a look and came up with these  and  but no 1923. Can you provide a link? Who won the even in 1923? Bjmullan (talk) 22:44, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Its ok. I have a reference to a publication, but is likely to be a publishing error. The third edition is in 1924, I will correct the error  in spanish wiki. Bye.--Jorjum (talk) 07:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  A question 

message: In the results for 1952, second place is credited to Stirling Moss/D. Scannell/John Cooper, which is correct. However, John Cooper's name is linked to the John Cooper of the Cooper Car Company, and that is incorrect. According to Sir Stirling's own book "All My Races", page 88, the John Cooper he co-drove the Monte Carlo Rally with in 1952 was the editor of Autocar, not the John Cooper of the Cooper Car company. Moss makes that quite clear in the text and the caption of the photo on that page showing them with the car says "John 'Autocar' Cooper" as well.

message: The winning cars in 1949 and 1950 were Hotchkiss 686 GS models, not Hotchkiss-Grégoires.  Having been misled by this in preparing a magazine feature, I have now corrected it. Heckmotor97 (talk) 12:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  1949 & 1950 winners 

message: Today, I have added a main story on the prewar history of the Rally. Not a year by year summary, but an analysis of the changes from different aspects over the decades. Please feel free to contribute. I am planning to add a main story on the postwar era as well but have to do some research for that!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallimons (talk • contribs) 16:33, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice - as per WP:STYLE I suggest holding back the superlatives ("brilliantly") and exclamation marks, otherwise it looks nice. Needs sources, too. Btw, why are the car names in prantheses in the table? It makes sense when in list form, but the table makes these things clear without. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:55, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now added an overview of firsts and lasts. Because of the long history and many changes in format, I think this is an interesting way te represent remarkable developments.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallimons (talk • contribs) 20:37, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Still working on the article. I did some rearranging in chapter titles and chapters (new chapter 2). I would like to include many more photographs (already somewhere in wikipedia or available on the internet, but am not experienced how to do that. Can anyone help?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallimons (talk • contribs) 12:21, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a pic from 1933 and did some other layout and style edits (see WP:STYLE). There are tons of photos HERE, I am sure you can see how it works. To upload your own is possible, as long as you can figure out how to navigate copyright concerns. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  05:05, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

text: Thank you! I’m learning every day! I think the pictures are now an excellent illustration of the Monte story through the ages! Still working on more photo’s of the 1960/70/80s!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallimons (talk • contribs) 18:41, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  History from 1911 on: Reconstruction of the story

message: The prose and general structuring of this article isn't at all encyclopaedic and it's in desperate need of a complete rewrite. While it does have references, it has far from enough and much of the article comes across as if it may be original research. Considering the importance of the event and the wealth of sources available it should be possible to get this article to good or even featured status with a concerted effort, but right now it's clearly in need of a well thought out restructuring and rewrite. Right now I'm not even sure where to start. I've removed some of the excessive images and added a cleanup template, but a lot more work needs to be done.
