International Harvester L series name is International L series
Would it now be uncontroversial to correct the name of this article and its subject and all the articles about its siblings? Eddaido (talk) 10:44, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- No- this topic has been discussed and beat to death.Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 15:17, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- No, it isn't dead... Patience... Sammy D III (talk) 13:39, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello
I join this Project and would like to help it. Im doing Iveco trucks and try to make the artikels more uniform. In the artikels i myself make, i will only use the international unit system ,because i dont want the artikel to become cluttered and its massive work to convert every Unit again. Is this ok for everyone? I think i only work on European Trucks so its no problem there.
Best wisches. --WDHOSS (talk) 23:23, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Importance
Shouldn't the articles on the world's major truck manufacturers past and present be of "Top importance" for a WikiProject about trucks?
Top importance = "Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia" AND "If importance values are applied within a specific project, these only reflect the perceived importance to that project."
Surely the likes of Scania, Renault Trucks, Peterbilt and Scammell (to pick just a few) - ought to be perceived by WikiProject Trucks as "a must-have for a print encyclopedia"? --kingboyk (talk) 22:44, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Importance is also considered by some to be influenced by how critical the subject is to the understanding of the overall topic and how likely a reader would be to look up information in the article.
- Realistically, current major manufacturers are probably Top-importance; I'm not sure about defunct ones.
- Importance assessment seems to not be as simple for the more-important articles - editors are often unsure about where the line between "Top" and "High" is. --Sable232 (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Articles on terror attacks and other news
I've noticed a rash of articles being tagged for WikiProject Trucks that are about terror attacks, human trafficking, and other incidents that make headlines. I question whether these articles fall under the scope of the project - just because a truck happened to be involved and not some other vehicle or anything else doesn't mean that the truck itself is notable. It's unlikely that this project would have any interest or input in articles like that, so I'd be inclined to not include this project's tag on those articles. Thoughts? --Sable232 (talk) 23:32, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed. It seems unlikely to me that anybody here will ever care. If you are doing them individually you would recognize anything good. Is it one account doing them all? Sammy D III (talk) 22:38, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
- It's just one account. There was a discussion in a related project here but nothing came of it. While it seems there is little activity here, I didn't want to unilaterally remove the banner. --Sable232 (talk) 18:39, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- You want to do work here. You don't want to be pushy but the place looks deserted. If anybody cares please talk to you.
- I think you have introduced yourself and should feel comfortable editing. That is only me but anyone else has somewhere to post now. Sammy D III (talk) 23:00, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- I suppose that's fair - thanks for the input. --Sable232 (talk) 01:05, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Wow. I just looked. Whatever I can do. If they notice you you will want a smarter friend, though. Sammy D III (talk) 14:38, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
