i dont understand why the width of the content is only about 80% of the page? - haniff


I changed the phrase in the Popular Culture section "Bean's balls were stuck in the exhaust pipe of a Proton". Hahahaha ROFL. It was only one ball (and just to avoid confusion) I added the word golf as it was a golf ball stuck in the exhaust :P81.246.93.2 21:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Enormous amount of vandalism

Benhocking has vandalised quite a bit of this page. I've tried to revert some of it, but as I know nothing about Proton Saga, I'd recommend that those who do look over this page (and Benhocking's edits) to remove stuff that doesn't belong. Ben Hocking (talk|contribs) 12:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replace 'generation' to 'facelift'

reason to replace is because from the earliest version is still same chasis and body style with the new version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.51.62.78 (talk) 06:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

"Facelift" is usually reserved for subsequent reiterations of the original car from the same make with the same platform. The first Saga is a rebadge of the Lancer, not a "first facelift" of the Lancer, if that is what you are implying. The original Saga underwent one facelift, the Iswara underwent another facelift, while the 2001 re-release is a facelift of the Aeroback Iswara, followed by the 2003 re-release (second facelift of the Iswara) and 2007's re-release (third facelift of the Iswara). Given this somewhat confusing chronology of development, it's preferable to divide the groups of cars by years and marques instead, if the by-"generation" sorting is not proper.

Clumping the cars into one parent section also has its purpose. In addition to categorising relevant portions of the article, it also allows for any future expansions in an even the Saga cars are still developed. Take the Proton BLM for example. With rumour it will serve as the next-generation Saga, there is reason to reserve space on the BLM when a merge is made. - Two hundred percent (talk) 10:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LMSS badge, and cite tags

Found out an anonymous claimed the "LMSS" badge is made up by "the local enthusiasts as LMST is the newer model, thus the alphabet before 'T' is 'S'".[1] Suggestively an unofficial name, it barely has any merit of mention if it isn't a name Proton adopted on the car. There is reason to believe there is similar original research all over the article. - Two hundred percent (talk) 15:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Apparently there were also unexplained removals of {{cite}} tags on passages regarding sales and competition. Are you fanboys whitewashing or something? - Two hundred percent (talk) 11:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
