thread_title:  List of Jeep Galleries 

message: I have removed a series of three commercial links since 1) they were commercial, 2) they were boldfaced, 3) they are the only additions made to the site by this user (based on the IP address, which is all that is available, and 4) the user placed them at the top of the "External links" list and later moved down other links that appeared above his (her) commercial links.  To me, this looks like blatant commercial plugging, so I've removed it. --Badger151 13:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Commercial Links 

message: The discussion on the development of the WWII army jeep may not have discussed vehicles bearing the jeep nameplate, but I'd like to see some concensus before it is removed.  Arguably, there would be no Jeep nameplate if the army jeep hadn't been developed.  So, I've reverted the deletion. --Badger151 23:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the jeep name 

message: I added two existing photos of military jeeps in this section.  The first is the Bantam (right image), the next is the Willys (left image).  I thought they fit well with article text.  Hope I didn't step on anyone's toes! :)   Oscar Arias 03:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  the first jeep 

message: The term is also used to refer generically to what are now known as SUVs, whether the vehicle in question bears the Jeep nameplate or not.
That sentence is  false, no one who drives a ford explorer calls it a Jeep, they call it an SUV. Road guy 19:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a "needs citation" reference and it was responded to, but I still disagree with the statement.  All the support simply shows that the term was (past tense) used generically in WWI.  There does not seem to be any support for this claim today.  --Robb0995 17:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps in the US, but here in Europe - particularly the UK - Jeep is a relatively common term for any kind of small recreational 4x4.  The Suzuki Jimny springs to mind.  Nobody, but nobody, calls their 4x4 an SUV.   a_man_alone (talk) 19:58, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sneaky commercial linkspam 

message: There is a missing Jeep model, the Jeepster (later Jeepster Commando and later Commando) made in the 1950's, and later in 1967-1973. The Jeepster was similar to a modern SUV in size. Can someone (or should I do a little research for exact dates) and add the Jeepster?

message: I noticed the external links section here seems to be a bt out of control!  I removed some links that appeared to be just about selling jeeps or parts (and one site that wasn't in English).  But the rest of the section is also very out of line with the Wikipedia external links guidelines.  There seem to be a lot of small fansites here, which aren't really encyclopedic in their nature.  If there are sites that the majority of jeep enthusaists use then they may be appropriate, but most of these seem to have a few hundred members, some a few thousand - none appear to be the sort of authoritative site that desreves a listing in an encyclopedia.....
I'd like to remove the following:
* JeepGuide: Tutorials, Pictures, Tools, Reviews, Prices, etc - Everything is listed as "Coming soon", at the moment it seems to just be a Google adsense revenue generating site.
* International Full Size Jeep Assn -Seems like another enthusiast site.  More traffic than most, but still relatively limited.
* JeepForum.com — Jeep Enthusiast Website and Forums - According to the guidelines, in general forums are not appropriate to link to.
* Jeep Reviews - There's nothing on the site that talks about who created it and why, so its reliability is questionable.  But if it's a very well known and highly respected site in the jeep community (i.e. most editors here had heard of it from somewhere other than Wikipedia, and think it's good), then it should stay.
* www.g503.com Ford GPW & Willys MB -On the surface it looks like a good enthusiasts site, with more "registered members" than most.  But there's not much movement in the wiki or blog, leaving me wondering how well known the site is - again, do editors of these pages know this site from somewhere other than Wikipedia?
* Poem about the Jeep- Home of the Jeep ~ Butler, Pa. Doesn't really seem encyclopedic.
* Jeep Gallery- Thousands of Jeep pictures.  -Seems to be a  minor site (claims less than 500 registered users) and is heavily supported by adsense advertising.  Content doesn't seem better tahn any of the other similar sites. 
* MoJeepin.com- Forums, news, installs and product reviews. Again - less than 500 registered users.  seems like a minor site with nothing particularly unique to add".
* 42FordGPW.com- More than 73 megabytes/2000+ files pertaining to WW2 jeeps and other related topics. - As above, seems like another minor fan site.
* The M151 Mutt (Military Unit Tactical Truck) - While this actually has some information in it, it's nothing that can't be (or isn't already) in the article.
* Jeep Gallery -A gallery of images on an ad-supported site.  We ought to link to wikimedia commons instead and encourage GFDL'd images?
* How The Jeep Got its Name -A commercial site with an OK essay that tells us nothing that can't be in the article anyway
* The 4x4 Forum for Michigan and Surrounding Great Lakes. -Appears to be a site for people in the Great Lakes region, which is pretty linited for a Wikipedia, with its International mandate!
* Jeepin.com - The Jeep Enthusiasts' Website. Another enthusaists site.  Dosn't seem to be any different from the rest.
* Jeeps-Offroad.com - Jeep Enthusiast Forums, Tech Articles, & Reviews Another enthusiasts site.  Doesn't seem to be any different from the rest.
This would basically get rid of the entire section.  Other opinions? --Siobhan Hansa 14:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unofficial external links 

message: Not having a caption for logos is a Wiki guideline - or a suggestion - and the "Jeep" logo is an obvious logo -- it is not placed in this article as advertising, marketing, spam. or because of various other promotional conflicts of interest. Therefore, it does not need a caption stating that this logo is a "Jeep logo". The "Jeep" name used by the company is not an obscure design that needs an explanation. Furthermore, this caption has been removed by a number of editors, yet a minority seems to keep bringing it back for unsupported reasons. CZmarlin 04:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The Jeep logo is clearly identified as a registered trademark. It has the symbol in the lower right corner. This is an indication of its role as an official logo. There is no "guessing" what this image represents. Therefore, there is no need to identify this symbol with a caption that it is a logo. The Wikipedia guidelines are very clear that no caption is needed with current images of logos. Please also stop adding captions to logos in other articles. They are all following Wikipedia guidelines. The placement of images of logos within the articles only helps explain and describe the subject of the article. This function is NOT advertising.

message: There was an inappropriate paragraph in the lead section talking about jeep trails. It doesn't belong in an article about Jeeps themselves. I moved it to a new article, Jeep trail, and linked it from the "see also" section. I searched and couldn't find any article about off-road trails under several different titles that I tried. I don't know if that's the best title for that article - perhaps a subject expert can rename if it necessary. But it certainly should be in a separate article, not here. -dmmaus 23:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: In the first episode of Life on Mars (U.S. TV series), the main character is seemingly transported back in time from 2008 to 1973. When he makes reference to driving his Jeep, a 1973 person asks, "You were driving a military vehicle?" This raised the question: when did Jeep begin to refer to a civilian vehicle, not just a military vehicle? I can't tell from this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:54, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably when they introduced the Civilian Jeep (CJ) in 1945. Apparently the show's writers never bothered to do any research. --Sable232 (talk) 01:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a surplus glut of Jeeps returning to the U.S. after WWII which could be bought very cheaply which had a lot to do with their rise in popularity with civilians but it also split the purchasing market by lowering demand for the actual civilian/farm models being produced at the time. My grandfather bought one of the surplus models for the farm which my father and uncles got a big kick out of it (along with the surplus British Enfield rifle). Those jeeps had a rigorous maintenance schedule however ..you had to perform a long list of tasks including repack all the wheel bearings every 3000 miles. That was also true of the CJ-3 civilian models.⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 11:46, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Jeep is often used as a generic military term, example "Beijing / Chinese Jeep" or "Russian Jeep". The page for the original vehicle that popularized the term is actually Willys MB, while its successor M151 was also called a jeep, and performed the same function. Light Utility Vehicle is a modern generic term for this class of vehicle used in military conference, and this article is a survey of all vehicles which might be called a jeep in military terms. I would guess that in common historical usage, the term Jeep is used more often as a military term rather than as a trademark, but that may well be a matter of dispute. Willys MB is certainly not the most obvious way a person would look for information on what was commonly simply called a "jeep" in the most significant war of the 20th century. If you turned jeep in a military history article to a link, it's not clear whether the article is about a family of vehicles, a single historical vehicle, or a trademarked nameplate, and its generic use keeps on popping up and getting removed. There appear to be no links in the current article to Willys MB, Light Utility Vehicle, or M151 Mutt. Bachcell (talk) 17:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Came across another theory on the origin of "jeep" here: WW1 Army slang for any new vehicle. IDK if this qualifies as reliable, tho...

replies: text: It is not misinformation, but a direct Wikilink to an article about the wartime vehicle. There is no article by the name of "Bantam BRC-40" in WP. The Willys MB article includes the history behind the design and production of this vehicle. Both Bantam and Willys attempted to meet the stringent specifications requested by the U.S. military, and the War Department essentially owned the design. Yes, this type of detail could be rewritten at the beginning of that article. Nevertheless, WP guidelines state to avoid linking that results in a redirect as well as generally not good practice to pipe links simply to avoid redirects (WP:NOPIPEDLINK). Moreover, please observe the first rule of hatnotes: that they must link directly to other article(s), and not to a redirect. Thanks! CZmarlin (talk) 18:11, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I read here that “Jeeps sold as surplus, in crates, was merely a myth. That is an error! During the early to mid 1960s I was growing up on a ranch in California. My father purchased two! Granted, they weren’t $50 as advertised in the back of many magazines of the era, but they were new, and in wooden crates! Absolutely everything but fuel was in the crates! 
Minor assembly such as mounting wheels, tires, seats, top, filling the battery with acid etc was required but didn’t take long or much effort. The first Jeep was the flat fender type the second was the rounded M38a1 version. The prices were $225 and $300 respectively. I remember that distinctly as my father complained about it for years! Much of that cost was shipping.
I learned to drive because of those Jeeps.
My best friend in high school got one for $5. Yes five dollars! His father was retired military and apparently had connections. I helped my friend uncrate and assemble his. He still has it to this day!
They were extremely common back then. A Boy Scout camp nearby had two and a retreat for Nuns in the Catholic church, also nearby had several... (one at a time) for the maintenance crew.
It won’t take much research to verify my claims. 2600:8800:5C85:1C00:8D8E:8D95:4CF3:6C52 (talk) 11:11, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
