File:Classic Bentley, VJI 5305.jpg

Hi, many thanks for recategorizing this image. :-) I'm far from being a Bentley expert, so I have no clue about whether this is an original or replica car - would you be willing to explain why you're saying it's a replica here, please, to satisfy my curiosity? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mike! I’m certainly no expert either but some fakes are so obvious it doesn’t take much knowledge to disclose them. First of all, let’s state that judging from the general design of this vehicle, with its sweeping front fenders and free standing head lights, it is trying to look like a 1930s automobile. The first clue to this being a replica are the wheels. Cars of the 1930s have tall and narrow tires on large diameter rims. The rims, pressed steel or spoked rims, are generally painted in black or other dark colours. This car obviously have modern, wide radial tires. It’s hard to see the dimension but I would guess on 15 inch rims and to make things even worse they’re fitted with cheap after market wheel covers. The tires also have thin white walls which would fit a Plymouth Voyager or a Ford Windstar, not a vintage Bentley. Then there’s the radiator. 1930s automobiles have tall chrome plated radiator covers. This vehicle have its radiator cover, which looks suspiciously much like plastic, painted in body colour. And the capital “B” on the radiator is certainly not Bentley’s flying B, but probably the logo of the replica auto’s manufacturer. Third clue would be the windscreen. A 1930s automobile with an open top body would have a low, flat windscreen. The curved windscreen on this vehicle is way too large and with the black rubber sealing it’s more likely to fit a 1970s auto. Also the head lights are too small. It looks like 7 inch VW Golf lights fitted in new housings made to resemble a vintage head light. And the brightwork looks more like stainless steel than good old chrome platings. Come to think of it, I was wrong moving this picture to the Bentley replica category since there is actually nothing on this car that even resembles a vintage Bentley. I’m moving it to the more general replicas of automobiles category. -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 16:12, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for the explanation here - I've learned a lot from this. :-) I've moved the file to a better title, and will update the description accordingly (and include a static link to this discussion) in a minute for reference of anyone that looks at this image in the future.

I have uploaded a modified version of your picture. I have NOT repeat NOT overwritten your picture. I have uploaded a modified version with a different name.

I hope you do not mind what I did. We seem to be short of decent pictures of the Kadett based Opel Olympia. If I was a very polite person I would have asked you first. But somehow it is easier to show you what I have done than it would have been to try and explain what I thought I wanted to do, even if I had precisely known what I wanted to do before I tried to do it.......

Rolls Royce / Geneva Motor Show 2013

Hi, thanks for your big work on categorizing many of my photos from Geneva Motor Show 2013.

I think here you made a small mistake, because I remember that all the 3 photos show the same car:

• http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2013-03-05_Geneva_Motor_Show_8217.JPG (full trunk, you can see the detail of the car fridge cover)
• http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2013-03-05_Geneva_Motor_Show_8215.JPG (trunk detail => Drophead Coupé)
• http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2013-03-05_Geneva_Motor_Show_8216.JPG (trunk detail => Drophead Coupé)

but one time it was categorized as Drophead Coupe and two times as Phantom Series II.

By comparing with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dhc_1174_kofferraum.jpg , I corrected two of the photos => Drophead Coupé.

Noebu (talk) 17:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

My idea was this: The current facelifted Phantoms are all Series II Phantoms, regardless of body style: saloon, drop head or fixed head. But I’m certain you’re right. -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 19:20, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Bentley 8-litre

That is a great photograph you have uploaded today. Are you able to supply any more details about that particular car? Many thanks, Eddaido (talk) 12:07, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. According to the museum in Köping the original owner of this automobile was Woolf Barnato himself. Or does that simply indicate it was impossible to find a customer before the bankruptcy? Anyway, in 1933 this magnificent automobile was sold to Swedish banker Torsten Kreuger, brother of the infamous match king Ivar Kreuger. In 1950 mr Kreuger donated the auto to Tekniska museet in Stockholm which in turn has lent it to Bil & Teknikhistoriska Samlingarna in Köping. Here is a link to Tekniska museet's inventory list: tekniskamuseet.se -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 12:59, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

You may find this easy to believe. I failed to mark this page and so I didn't know you had replied and came back just now to write to you having forgotten that I'd done so! Thank you very much for that link to the museum's catalogue and I was able to rapidly find out a great deal about it. It has been suggested it is possibly the most original 8-litre in existence. All I want now is to have all these pictures here under the right licence for them to be displayed in Wikipedia! Many thanks and best wishes, Eddaido (talk) 13:25, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Postscript: I think Barnato engineered the "bankruptcy" or maybe just let it happen because he was sick and tired of W O Bentley's talent for spending his (Barnato's) money. WO had already been through 2 or 3 other fortunes (including his own) and was beginning to make a dent in Barnato's. I'm sure Barnato would have done something rough much earlier if he hadn't liked the product so much and perhaps he did not like the prospect of the cars being destroyed? I don't know either!

Category:Riley RM

Hi, I've reverted the recategorizations you made to this Riley RM category. The images concerned are apparently unidentifiable (I spent many hours over them some time ago). I think that, almost without exception, they should be thrown away unless they are of historic interest to someone. We seem to have no shortage of quite good properly catalogued images of all these cars. Is it possible to ascertain what sizes their engines are through European registries? Otherwise I think they should be deleted (with gratitude because they filled the bill for a while). Regards, Eddaido (talk) 11:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

I have checked Lars-Göran Lindgren’s pictures with the Swedish licence register and moved them to their proper category, based on that information. I have no opinion on whether the rest should be deleted or not. Kind regards -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 12:17, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Austin automobiles

Hello, I'm contacting you because years ago you made a category redirect from "Austin automobiles" to "Austin vehicles". In my opinion, this is not appropriate. As you can see by other large vehicle brands that produced vehicles of different types (for example "Alfa Romeo", "Toyota", "BMW", "Honda"), the term vehicle is in no way identical to the term automobile but in fact superordinate to the latter. The term vehicle is comprised by (among others) automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, buses, tractors, vans and even non-motorized vehicles as bicycles. Just look at the category "Vehicles by type" and you'll see that "automobile" is subordinate to "vehicle" and eqivalent to "truck" or "motorcycle". So every vehicle brand ought to be categorized in "vehicles by brand" and ought to have the fitting sub-categories like "...automobiles", "....trucks", "...vans", "....motorcycles" and so on; the latter sub-categories consequently ought to be categorized in "automobiles by brand", "trucks by brand" and so on.

I'm planning to undo your category redirect (and all analoguous redirects like with "Triumph automobiles") in order to categorize all Austin automobile models as "Austin automobiles", so that the latter can be listed in "Automobiles by brand". But before doing so, I wanted to discuss this issue with you. Kind regards, --Purzelbier (talk) 17:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

What the image shows

Greetings: You recently recategorized a photo of an automobile which reads "Bugatti" right down the front grill to "Unidentified Kit Cars". Would you please explain that edit? The entry in the parade form lists "Bugatti" and it says it right on their grill. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:06, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, as always, you should never trust what you see on the Internet. Just because the vehicle on the aforementioned picture has the word “Bugatti” written on the radiator grille doesn’t mean it is the real thing. It is trying to mimic the lines of a classic Bugatti racing car of the 1920s but the scam is actually very poorly executed. To the left I have posted a picture of a genuine 1929 Bugatti Type 35B from the Schlumpf Collection in France for comparison. Like all classic Bugattis this automobile has a live beam front axle with longitudinal leaf springs and friction dampers, cast aluminium rims with attached cable operated drum brakes and like all great French pre-war gran routiers, it has right hand drive. At the top of the yoke shaped radiator you find the oval Bugatti logo in red. All these characteristics are missing from the kit car here to the right. The trade mark double trailing arm front suspension makes me believe this kit car is built on a VW Typ 1 chassis. This would also explain the absence of a working bonnet on this vehicle: the air cooled boxer engine is mounted at the rear end. I hope you find my arguments convincing. Regards, Herranderssvensson (talk) 20:14, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Sure thing, I just wanted to know!! We were working from the Parade list, so I will pass that to the organizers as well. They didn't enter it in the Concourse so I don't have any judging info. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 01:57, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Standard 10hp (1934-1936)

Hi, why did you think this was a good idea? I think you have got it wrong and want it switched back but maybe we should discuss it. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello Eddaido. I think the difference between the 1930s Ten and the later 1950s Ten is big enough to separate them from each other. But I’m no expert so I’m always willing to listen to reason. Herranderssvensson (talk) 06:03, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for all the good work you have put in over the years. Why make separate categories? Where's the problem? The cars look quite different to me ;-) Eddaido (talk) 08:53, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I suppose the risk for a Standard 10 category getting crowded isn’t really impending. And the empty Flying Ten category was perhaps a step too far, I’ll give you that. But a deeper categorization makes it easier to find what you’re looking for, wouldn’t you agree? Herranderssvensson (talk) 10:47, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Well, to tell the truth, I strongly do not. The more pigeonholes one makes the more pigeonholes one must search through in order to find what you want. If one knows exactly what one wants (as the pigeon might by sniffing the wind or whatever) one goes straight to it. But if you are just another pigeon scratching about to find an image you need then too many pigeonholes is conniption fit territory. The cat system is fine or even just great to put things away as we are discussing (and as you are doing by building more pigeonholes). It is extremely user unfriendly if you are one is hunting an image to identify a car or to find a nice picture to illustrate an article. I have just the germ of an idea of how to improve the present user unfriendliness but it remains only a germ quietly developing in the back of my mind. I would welcome a good solution. can you propose anything? Any lurkers out there with (good) ideas for a solution? Regards, Eddaido (talk) 23:29, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I can see your point and I respect it. Unfortunately, I am one of those who like to categorize things down to the smallest of details. If you were to work out a system which would combine these contradicting positions I would welcome it. Herranderssvensson (talk) 06:54, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

"a system which would combine these contradicting positions" I don't understand what you mean by this.

May I clarify this discussion. Part one: You have further split a category, I think that's a mistake. You have said above it is important to you.

Part two: For the average person interested in cars (and maybe other things?) Wikimedia is user unfriendly. This is Not to say the categorisation system is wrong or inadequate or has failings. It is to say that Wikimedia (in my experience) is user unfriendly unless you know most precisely what you seek. This is why I dislike your new categorisation (see Part one) but it is a quite different separate topic.

While talking about categorisation I would like it to be noted I belong to a small group, a citizen of a small country where very big names among Wikimedia uploaders rush in and upload every uploadable image from Flickr and then rest on their numerically ever expanding self-perceived laurels (given for uploading so very many images) and . . . do not categorise them.
Eddaido (talk) 00:23, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

You disagree with me adding sub categories to the Standard Ten category and I respect your opinion. Nevertheless, I strongly believe it is necessary to divide automobile categories into further sub categories based on generations. For more examples of this, please look at the categories for Hillman Minx, Morris Oxford, Standard Eight and many more. And yes, it might be confusing if you’re new to the topic, but dumping everything in a big pile based on a common model name is no solution either. You and I obviously have contradicting opinions in this matter but if you manage “to improve the present user unfriendliness” I would be interested to hear more about it.

You say Commons is user unfriendly and that might be true, but I think that is inevitable with such a large database. And if someone keeps flooding Commons with uncategorized material by copying pictures from another large database, in this case Flickr, in my opinion it is up to the Commons administration to put a halt to this. Herranderssvensson (talk) 05:51, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

So long as we have no proper system for hunting through images (making this database to my mind user unfriendly) I don't like to see superfluous sub-categorisation. You are anxious to do it in this case so by all means let that matter rest. My mind has been running on developing a means of access in the way scientists classify things. Then using that as a means to tracking down particular images in Wikimedia. I am No scientist. You're absolutely right about the uncategorised stuff. Sometimes it is categorised but in the most general terms (thus avoiding being marked uncategorised) and I suspect it is because the categoriser does not know and cannot understand the subject of the image the way a local editor might. Regards, Eddaido (talk) 08:47, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

I would like to have what amounts to a search (which of course we have now) which can search without any regard to categories and fill my screen the way Flickr does, not in a column with text. Then I could formulate searches like for example:

• Bentley, made between 1920 and 1941, irrespective of coachwork, or size of engine or coachbuilder
• Non-US vehicles made between 1928 and 1931 (US used model years which can avoid this necessity)

and be able to scan the resulting images very quickly.

Does that seem like a good idea to you? Just the two examples to give a general idea of my thinking and I hope you wish to develop it. Regards, Eddaido (talk) 09:05, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Not urgent, but at least to me important if you will have a moment:

• Would you have time to look at this picture and, if necessary, correct my classification of it? It is not a very good picture, but it is - I think - quite a rare car.

Hello Charles. Thanks for your kind words. This is one of some five hundred 170 Da OTP cars which Daimler-Benz produced for the German police forces between 1951 and 1952. The designation Da means it has got the larger 1.8 litre diesel engine introduced in 1950. OTP translates to Open Tourer Police. The moss green colour has been typical for the German police forces up until the early 2000s when rectifying within the EU made them change to blue uniforms and vehicles instead.

Category:Cadillac 355

Hello. Since you seem to have some knowledge about these cars, do you think, that File:1930 Cadillac 355 pic1.JPG and other photos of this car are 355 model? According to en:Cadillac Series 355, Series 355 was manufactured by Cadillac from 1931. And it has no five hood ports. Neither has File:Classic Cad.jpg. Regards. Pibwl (talk) 19:10, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello Pibwl. According to my ”Standard catalog of Cadillac 1903-1990” the Series 353 of 1930, as well as the earlier Series 341 of 1928-29, has a louvered hood, while the Series 355 introduced in 1931 has a hood with five ports. This would mean that the dutch 1930 Cadillac is a Series 353. The Classic Cad is probably a Series 341, since the louvers on the hood doesn’t seem to extend all the way up to the radiator as they do on a Series 353. All according to ”Standard catalog of Cadillac 1903-1990” (ISBN 0-87341-174-9). -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 19:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Your category change has been reversed

Dear user: Herranderssvensson, You had the category (without D4-D) changed the category undesirably, and is therefore reversed to the latest version of 1az-fse, and I also find it disrespectful to the author, because firstly , it's his / her own work, secondly, if you look at the reason for this rollback you will see that D4 is for direct fuel injection, and D4-D is for direct (and / or common-rail) diesel.

I suggest that you look up if you doubt whether the rollback is unnecessary / unjustified.

Greetings: 2001:983:BDBB:1:6D65:FB69:52C0:8836 17:33, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

And for the sake of clarity, I want to avoid wars between us both, and I hope that you benefit from silent editing and cooperation with others and that there might be a solution. 2001:983:BDBB:1:6D65:FB69:52C0:8836 17:40, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, got a little bit carried away there. -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 13:52, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Volvo P1800 badge.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Volvo P1800 badge.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Knowing where an automobile is geographically does not mean it is "identified"

File:Ebenhausen, Zugunfall 2022, Auto Notfallmanager, 1.jpeg

Hallå,

Sorry, I don't speak any Swedish (except for "öl"). Thanks for specifying the category of the mentioned picture from Category:Mercedes-Benz vehicles to Category:Mercedes-Benz ambulance SUVs – but the vehicle depicted is not an ambulance vehicle. It is the car of an “emergency manager” of the German Railways; her/his job is to organize the rescue and restoring works after a railway accident. The manager (they are not many in number) has to arrive at an accident site within a certain time (one hour, I think) after an accident, so that's why the car has the emergency flashlights. Any proposals how to improve the categories? Tack -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 22:07, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Fiesta MK, well, ...

Moin. I expect this [1] was a typo, correct? --G-41614 (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that's actually a Mk3, isn't it? -- Herranderssvensson (talk) 18:33, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

I though so as well and took the liberty to change it accordingly. Nice to agree. Have a good one, --G-41614 (talk) 11:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
