[edit] Proposed merger
Both articles deal with the AMC AMX. I don't see why they should be two separate [stub] articles. ⇒ BRossow T/C 21:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I support the merge in order to bring the AMX article into the proper naming convention. Stude62 13:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Given no opposition, the articles were merged. ⇒ BRossow T/C 15:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History of merged content
I've merged content from List of 1971 American Motors automobiles, but since it's a list of specifications sourced from Oct. 1970 Popular Mechanics, I think it's safe to delete the article as long as I provide proper attribution. So here is the article history before I deleted it:
- (cur) (last) 14:38, 26 June 2006 Wiarthurhu (Talk | contribs | block) m (moved List of 1971 American Motors Automobiles to List of 1971 American Motors automobiles: caps title)
- (cur) (last) 14:30, 26 June 2006 Wiarthurhu (Talk | contribs | block) m (moved 1971 American Motors Specifications to List of 1971 American Motors Automobiles: OK, no rule against lists of cars, right?)
- (cur) (last) 04:44, 26 June 2006 ApolloBoy (Talk | contribs | block) (This does not qualify for an article)
- (cur) (last) 02:21, 26 June 2006 Wiarthurhu (Talk | contribs | block) (Well, excel table is here, u r welcome to clean up html.)
- (cur) (last) 02:02, 26 June 2006 Wiarthurhu (Talk | contribs | block) (Table has data that can be placed in other AMC wiki pages. Pleeeez don't delete it. If you know how to do a table, please do it.)
And the contents are as follows:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:1968 AMX Breedlove Records Champion Plug AD.jpg
Image:1968 AMX Breedlove Records Champion Plug AD.jpg 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.

- The justification for "Fair Use" of the image 1968 AMX Breedlove Records Champion Plug AD.jpg has been provided in the article. It includes the items listed below:
- Though this image is subject to copyright, the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia’s non-free content policies cover its use in the article, because:
- This image of this advertisement is only being used for informational purposes.
- It shows how a supplier of components to American Motrs used the setting new speed records by Breedlove in their marketing campaigns.
- Its inclusion in this article adds significantly to the subject because the image of the advertisement shows historical significance of these the speed records set in an AMX by Craig Breedlove.
- The automobile pictured in the image is the AMX, and it is the subject discussed in this article.
- It is also highly unlikely that "free" images exist that illustrate the advertising use of speed records.
- Other criteria for the justification of why this image should acceptable be under "fair use" in this article are included on the image description page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1968 AMX Breedlove Records Champion Plug AD.jpg for rationale
