Talk:List of John Deere tractors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hmmm,thats kinda weird. I thought Massey Ferguson was the top selling tractor brand worldwide. I even have evidence to prove it.

[edit] Ad
This article reads like an advertising flyer. I will tag it as such. It needs to include less details about the types of tractors and their individual uses and more about the history of and the development of the tractor and its technology. As is, this article nearly merits deletion, every reference is the company website, hardly a good source. If it isn't fixed I will nominate it as such and it can be rewritten from scratch. I will try to assist in the fix. IvoShandor 12:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo green.gif
Image:Logo green.gif 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Merge
This page really isn't much more than a list of available tractors...if it is not to be deleted, let's merge it. Jmlk17 09:22, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Before it was condensed to this list it was basically an advertisement, regardless of what the deletion discussion result was. I do think John Deere tractor, a redirect here, is an encyclopedic topic, but the article shouldn't be about the company's current product line, though some of that can be included. More about John Deere tractor history, use etc. These are important farm implements and have essentially achieved icon status in the Midwestern United States. Either we need to create a new article and merge some of this content there or simply merge any relevant information to Deere & Company, I think. IvoShandor 11:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. This was already discussed in a deletion request as evidenced above. I completely agree with all of Ivoshandor's comments. Royalbroil 14:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Lists are perfectly acceptible, and I do not see anything wrong with this one.--Kranar drogin 23:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Edit
OK, I'm a newbie here, however I'm not a newbie when it comes to tractors. After finding the John Deere Tractor page I felt I needed to update the page. The info that was posted really wasn’t all that helpful. I hope I didn’t do anything wrong with replacing most all of the info that was posted.Artiez 09:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

- This is most excellent. :) As long as you provide references, see reliable sources, and Wikipedia verifiability policy for relevant information about sourcing. Keep up the good work, WP:CITE has some good info about citing sources too. This article was a disaster of advertising nonsense until an deletion debate resulted in it being blanked. This is an important topic, it needs ample coverage. Thanks. IvoShandor 09:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

- It is a lot better than before, but the "A New Generation of Tractors" title seems like it could be toned down a bit. I don't know a lot about tractors, but I clicked on this page to read about the ATVs they sell to the army. If you know anything about those, that would be great to add. John Deere gets tonnes of defense contracts and all that (and the resulting criticism) should be included as well. I don't know enough about this to write it myself though.Drizek 18:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] First numbered tractors
The list needs to include the 50 520 530, 60 620 630, etc tractors that fill the gap between the lettered and New Gen tractors. n2xjk 22:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I did this for the R and its follow-ons. I don't know what other letter models relate to numbered models. n2xjk 22:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New Generation of Power
This subsection of the main article needs help. A lot of information has been added without paragraph breaks. It needs to be reorganized to improve readability. It also should have appropriate references added. n2xjk (talk) 23:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
