Ford Falcon

Hi Harrison, yes I would like to help you cleanup the Ford Falcon article thanks. I must warn you thought I'm not skilled with cars, but it's only a cleanup I guess. I hope your well. Chicken-7 08:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The article is in desperate need of a cleanup, and I would be more than happy to pitch in, and help out. I have already stared out by removing the infoboxes and non-free images. However, just a word of warning, if citations are not added, the inevitable will happen and someone may reserve the right to delete unsourced content. Cheers OSX (talkcontributions) 08:01, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Excellent, I have recruited quite a few people to editing this article. If you would like, you and I could be the controllers of this project. What I think we should do is find some references and sources (Im on it already) so it information dosen't get deleted (as you said). Good work so far. Thanks Harrison-HB4026 08:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I would be quite happy to be one of the "controllers" of the project, as I probably have had the most experience out of all the recruits. However, just make sure your cite your sources using the following template: <ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | date = | url = | title = | publisher = | accessdate = 2007-01-01}}</ref>. I would also stay clear of non-free images, as they will only be deleted later on anyway. I would also like everyone to contribute to a certain standard, as I believe it is better to spend longer getting the article to a high-quality standard, rather than rushing and only getting it to an acceptable standard. Regards OSX (talkcontributions) 08:47, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course! :)

Of course you can use it, as far as I'm concerned, dear! :) Let me know if you need help adapting it to your userpage, k? I'm happy you like it! :) Have a beautiful day, Phaedriel - 14:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Most of your pages are not linking back to your user page

Howdy Harrison - I noted you changed your user nav page again about 90 minutes ago. Hopefully you are still on line - because most of your links are currently not linking through to you at the moment. I think you have picked up the linking to the user that you copied the nav page from so you might want to change that as soon as you get this message? Cheers--VS talk 08:36, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Article request

I have read the message you left on my talk page and I will help out with the article assesment a soon as possible, but at the current time I am working on the Ford EL Falcon article therefore I may not work on the Ford Falcon article straight away. And please make your messages a bit easier to understand, instead of just leaving a few letters. I don't know what they mean.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 02:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

10-4

I have read your message and I forgive you. You also said the AU Falcon picture was bad it is, becasue it shows one of the sports versions when it should show the base model.

P.S.- it would not matter what picture we had the AU Falcon still looks like crap anyway.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 04:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

10-50 to the AU Falcon

Yes the AU did not look good but it was still mechanically good and the performance was good. The next gen BA Falcon was better but never really recovered sales for Ford. SenatorsTalk | Contribs 05:00, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

better picture

Yes we should still get a better picture, I would because there are a few AU's in my street but I don't have a camera. Good luck getting a picture.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 05:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Well how did you photograph this EAII Fairmont Ghia? OSX (talkcontributions) 07:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

stop

My phone can not take pictures and please can you stop messaging me I have work to do on many articles.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 05:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)


Checklist

I have modified your original checklist, and added and removed some things to do. With the ED section, there is not really that much more information to be added, as I struggled to find the information I did. With references you cant say provide several references for each sections. Instead you cite what needs to, not just for the sake of it. Also images are not needed for each and every model, only major ones.
  1. N Not done The entire article needs to reference each and every fact from credible sources.
  2. N Not done An image is needed for each significant model (not just minor cosmetic updates).
  3. N Not done If a section becomes to long, it should probably be split into a separate article (e.g. EA Falcon).
  4. N Not done The entire article needs to be copyedited for instances of bad prose, poor spelling and grammar, wikilinks, etc.
  5. N Not done The lead must more adequately summarise the article body.
  6. N Not done More links need to be created in the "See also" section (e.g. Ford Australia).
  7. N Not done The article should be revamped enough so it can receive a B-class or GA-class rating.
  8. N Not done The exports section needs to be slimmed down in some areas, and expanded in others. OSX (talkcontributions) 09:54, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

10-4 Ford BA Falcon

Thank you for agreeing to help me with the Ford BA Falcon article, I will be very happy once it reaches Good Article status. Your generosity and kindness will not be overlooked maybe an award would be necessary.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 22:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Photo shop picutre

Thank you for editing the BA Falcon image in photoshop well done, but it will not be used in the Ford BA Falcon article because the original picutre looks more real.SenatorsTalk | Contribs 22:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
