Talk:Hummer H3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Gilliland
The H3 started as a suggestion by a Carnegie Mellon University student H. Elwood Gilliland III, who said "make it smaller" -- Herbert was sick of the "Herbie" references (from the Disney movie) and wanted to help GM develop a new product after working in the GM Lab. His comments started at the Michigan office, where the Interaction Design team is housed. Mr. Gilliland is a pioneer of the field of Interaction Design, being the first scientific Interaction Designer (most Interaction Designers get B.A.s). His work can be viewed at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~heg -- his work also includes significant contributions to Sustainable Architecture and Environmental Activism. -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doctor Octagon (talk • contribs).
- Mr. Gilliland's resumes seems to change on a daily basis. He transforms from being a student to being an alum. From interviewing at GM's Michigan office to actually working there. Google's cached version of the resume is a bit different. Googling Herbert Elwood Gilliland III turns up Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Young_Zaphod. Kristan 02:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- He is an Alumnus, a scientist and an Interaction Design pioneer. If you want to reword the article, by all means User:Kmarkey -- call Carnegie Mellon for verification. Also, if you read Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Young_Zaphod it mentions "Herb Gilliland" because of an article involving Mr. Gilliland. Doctor Octagon 14:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- It doesn't matter who he is if we have no reliable source saying that what you described actually happened. Which we don't. Nandesuka 15:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- The sock puppet page mentions "Herb Gilliland" because you've put your name into multiple different articles without any sources to back up your involvement with anything, and because of your pattern of doing so with a constant array of new identities that all seem to edit things with the same pattern and edit the same types of articles. --Atari2600tim (talk • contribs) 19:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

- Or so you think. You have no proof and there is no way to dispute it. How do we know you're not a sockpuppet? Doctor Octagon 22:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merger proposal
I placed a merge tag on this and the Hummer H3t articles, proposing that the latter be merged into this article. The H3t article is so short there seems little reason for it to exist on its own. It could very easily be fit into a subcategory here. Any thoughts? ---Charles 21:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
