[edit] All-electric starting inventor?

This is in conflict with Automobile self starter. According to that article, the electric starter was invented and patented by Clyde J. Coleman. Kettering improved it and made it practical for mass-production at General Motors. --Quicksilver^{T @} 05:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources

Interestingly enough we have a conflict between this article and another on the topic of the automobile starter. It would seem that many statements need to be removed from this article if someone cannot find citations for them. Alan.ca 00:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead

This article fails to note Kettering's rôle in the introduction of lead into gasoline as an anti-knock ingredient. —SlamDiego_←T 06:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Time-magazine-cover-charles-kettering.jpg

Image:Time-magazine-cover-charles-kettering.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
