[edit] Development of Electronics for GM Auto Racing

The changes you have made are very good, however this section of General Motors is still considered "Unsourced", as it doesnt provide references to external resources like magazines, journals, newspapers, etc. We need "reliable sources" for all facts and figures.

Before uploading images, you need to be sure that they are happy to either release the images into the public domain, or license under an acceptable free content license, i.e. either GFDL or Creative Commons. John Vandenberg (talk) 09:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the {{unsourced}} tag, as you are making good progress. John Vandenberg (talk) 03:50, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

It looks good. The one obvious problem is that it has too many links in it - we typically only link to a different article once. i.e. only the first appearance of the term "Delco Electronics" should be linked; subsequent mentions dont need to be linked.

Maybe you are interested in starting a new article now; perhaps "BorgWarner Schwitzer award"? John Vandenberg (talk) 11:02, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I have created a "redirect" at BorgWarner Schwitzer award, so that it takes the reader to the right article. John Vandenberg (talk) 00:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I've updated Vehicle bus so that it shows the references. John Vandenberg (talk) 04:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I've reduced the size of the images, despite your desires, as Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images overrules editor preferences. High res images are great! Readers can click on the thumbnail and see it in detail. John Vandenberg (talk) 04:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I see your getting in to the swing of things. If you have any problems, just ask me, I'm an old hand here. -KC0ECT, a.k.a. User:Rayc
