Talk:Mercedes-Benz G-Class

message: Calling this car an SUV makes little sense. These cars have seen military use, have driven across deserts in rallies and are simply true and complete off roaders.
The fact that rich people drive them around town does not make them SUVs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamagurka (talk • contribs) 23:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Would someone with better editin skills like to precis the G55 material - at the moment it reads like a cut and paste of advertising material from MB!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.30.232.1 (talk) 13:03, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: G55 needs work

message: I think the section on engine types is a poor mishmash of engines available only in one region all lumped together. For instance, there are no current diesel engines available in Canada, just the G500 and G55 AMG. Either the section could be inclusive of all available engines but specify their availability, or leave it empty of specifics and merely state there are gas and diesel engines, blending with the ealier text of the article. Just my thoughts. TimothyPilgrim 13:56, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

message: I have removed several uses of the word "jeep" which is a proprietary Chrysler brand name and would urge future fellow editors to exercise the same level of care in this regard. If it is necessary to use a generic term I'd suggest "4x4" or "four wheel drive vehicle" - always assuming that the civilian G-wagens still have all wheel drive capability. Though I imagine the Russian military's civilian-derived G-wagens do... 87.115.30.59 (talk) 22:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

message: From 1988 to 2014, a German named Gunther Holtorf traveled across the world in a model 300GD, reaching all five continents and covering nearly 900,000km. His vehicle was later sold to Mercedes-Benz.
Does anyone know the definition of "trivia" that would warrant this removal? Mighty Morphin Army Ranger (talk) 22:11, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: MB bought the car in order to use it for promotion/marketing, and it's also in MB's interest to see to it that Gunther Holtdorf gets as much media coverage as possible, but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a vehicle for promotion/marketing, so if MB/Gunther Holtdorf want free marketing space they'll have to look for it elsewhere. Thomas.W  talk 23:04, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

text: Gunther Holtorf probably didn't do it for publicity back then, but both Holtorf and Mercedes-Benz, or at least MB North America, are using it for publicity now. And the article you wrote about Holtorf was totally unencyclopaedic, with far too much detail for a non-notable individual, and everything directly or indirectly sourced to "ottosreise.de", Holtorfs own web site.
