[edit] Re: Marquis
The LTD was originally a trim for the Galaxie, too, but the LTD has its own page. The same principle applies here; even though the "Crown Victoria" was techincally a trim package, it did eventually branch out to its own model. I guess that the article should reflect that. I'll write that bit tomorrow. By the way, I like Ford/Mercury products too, especially the Sable. :) --AndreniW 05:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- the condensed version That would be nice. You can email it to me if you want. Thanks for fixing the page. --AndreniW 22:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ford Ranger Page
Hey man I just wanted to thank you for the job that you are doing on that page. Glad to see that they are leaving it alone, and letting you do it aswell. I've tried to do similar in the past only to have people (names will not be mentioned) that were supposed to know better come in and undo everything. Don't let them get to your head the way they did me, that's the reason I never got anywhere on it. Like I said thank you for putting your time into it, and doing a good job. I can't speak for everyone but I really appreaciate it. Josh 03:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Aerostar
Hi, I'm just curious what was wrong with my "warning note"
to AWD aerostar owners about them jacking up their vehicle without chocks? AllanDeGroot
Wondering why you reverted my edit of ", starting" back to ". Starting"? Go look again, this leaves a sentence fragment: "However, for those requiring more traction, Ford provided." This sentence fragment is essentially meaningless. mmerlinn
- I agree that the sentence should be broken up to make things more understandable. However, breaking it this way leaves the first part hanging. If you extract the noun and verb from the fragment, you have "Ford provided" which makes no sense whatsoever. The verb "provided" requires an object and there is no object. The object for "provided" in the comma delimited sentence is "Aerostar" which is further modified by the adjectives "an all-wheel drive". But once a period is inserted between the two, there is no object left for the verb "provided". If you want to break this sentence up where you reverted the period, please provide an object for that sentence, telling us WHAT Ford provided. As far as the rest of the changes that you made with this revision, those changes look excellent to me. All that is now needed is to know what Ford actually provided. mmerlinn
- To the best of my knowledge one cannot use implied objects in a sentence, only implied subjects. By including the 'it' you have provided an object for the sentence which now makes sense to me. The pronoun 'it' forces me to look for an antecendant, which is 'traction' found earlier in the same sentence as you have noted. Thanks and have a good day.mmerlinn

[edit] North Dakota signposts
Thanks for putting up the highway shields! Just a note though - there is a long form of the North Dakota sign for 3+ digit highways. Atanamir made up some samples you could work with; see Image:North Dakota 5.svg and Image:North Dakota 180.svg. --AlexWCovington (talk) 05:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Taurus
Sorry for the length of time in the response. I feel that since the sedan was manufactured more and also manufatured long, and had more options, that it should be in the template.--Josh 20:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] North Dakota shields
Yes, but they are png files, I created svg versions, which is the prefered format. --Holderca1 20:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- What do you mean they aren't showing up? They are showing up fine for me. --Holderca1 20:18, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
What browser are you running? --Holderca1 20:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- How do they look here? Category:North Dakota Highway shields --Holderca1 20:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Which part do you not seeing making the difference, the browser or format? Different browsers render things differently. I can clearly see a difference between png and svg, svg is crisp and clearer than the png. --Holderca1 20:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Which lines don't look right? Which numbers are out of position? Are they out of position vertically, horizontally, both? Do you have the specs for the shields? I used your png files as a guide. --Holderca1 20:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Where are the numbers suppose to be centered on? Do you have a spec guide that you are using or just from visual comparison with the real signs? --Holderca1 20:35, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- As far as the image of the indian head, I used the image from your png files, where did you get your image, maybe if I used the source, it would be clearer. --Holderca1 20:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, that is an svg image, give me a minute to see if I can work something out. --Holderca1 20:45, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, how does this look:
--Holderca1 20:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC) - Okay great, I just fixed all of the ones I created, will upload here in a minute. Do you know how to create svg images? I can walk you through it if you want. It is fairly easy, not sure about png, I have never created them in png, so I can't really compare the difficulty between the two. --Holderca1 20:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I use inkscape for the svg files, you can download it for free at inkscape.org. To see the difference between png and svg, click here. It is easier to see the difference when you blow them up. --Holderca1 21:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Also, upload your images to the commons rather than wikipedia since they are public domain. Also, ensure that you put them in a category so that they don't get lost. --Holderca1 22:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Town Car
Hi. Ford hasn't made any press releases yet as to how long Town Car production is going to continue in Ontario. There are however sources indicating that the Corwn Victoria and Grand Marquis will be made until at least 2011. As the Town Car is still a highly profit vehicle, with the limo makers depending on it as the only body on chassis luxo sedan, it is reasonable to assume that the Town Car will now have the same "life expectancy" as the other Panther models.

[edit] Ford Ranger Page links
Many have tried to add another link to the page but it keeps getting removed. It is a Forum just like The Ranger Station, Ranger Power sports. I've been to all of the Pages listed and this one is just like the ones listed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Super.ford (talk • contribs) 19:23, 30 November 2006.
[edit] Ford Ranger Links
I recieved a warning for adding Ranger-Forums.com to the link when it is EXACTLY the same as the other forums you have on there. I just wanted to know how the others got there and whats wrong with Ranger-Forums?
- I'll post it here too, since I expect everyone else from that forum to ask. The Ranger Station and Ranger Power Sports have tech resources, Ranger-Forums.com does not. If you disagree, see Talk:Ford Ranger and you might work something out.
- Also, before someone asks, I've had two Rangers, a '94 and a '97. --Sable232 23:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

It's fine - do what you need to to make it work. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 19:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pontiac Grand AM → Pontiac Grand Am
It's been about a week, and I will close this debate in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, unless you can decide for the results yourself. What do you think? --Gh87 22:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Postwar North American automobile templates
First of all, thanks for creating those timelines! It really takes such a long effort, and Wikipedia needed them.
Secondly, we need some tiemline naming standards. I invite you to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles/Templates. Thank you! -- NaBUru38 01:02, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hideous Ford Ranger page
Nonsense. None of the sections "line up", resulting in a page that violates the manual of style for readability. To be more specific, sections below the "North American Ranger" section heading do not align with the tables; on my FF2 browser, there are very large gaps that when viewed, can give the effect of an empty content page. If you wish to implement other measures, you should tabalise the page. Leave the imagestackleft in for the very least since the current images were breaking page layout and were haphazardly placed. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 22:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- WP:MOS under "Legibility" was what I was referring to. The problems with the old versions stem from the "attach heading to the template" method which wasn't giving optimum results. I think this is a larger issue since I've seen this in other pages, where I would see "First Generation" then a huge blank for about 30 to 40 returns before starting "Second Generation." That gives the impression to the reader that there isn't enough content or there is no content after "First Generation." I'll try to see if there is a workaround this - perhaps a table for the entire page might achieve better results? Seicer (talk) (contribs) 23:27, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
