[edit] Founding date

I query the statement that Aston Martin was founded in 1913, a year after Bamford & Martin. I believe that the latter was founded in 1913, and the Aston Martin name followed a year later. I hesitate to make a change though, because I'm not 100% certain. Perhaps someone can confirm? Philsy 19:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Famous list

I will be deleting the famous owners list at the end of the week, possibly Friday, as it is 1) pathetically pointless, 2) anybody with money is going to buy one anyway and whose idea is it for this stupid list that is going to get vandalised. Not to mention, it doesn't add value to this article. Willirennen 21:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External Link

Hi i have currently made a new exotic car site here. I was wanting to add the relevant pages to relevant wiki pages and wondering if thats ok to do so? Please let me know.

Thanks

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AstonMartinLogo.svg

Image:AstonMartinLogo.svg 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 Wikipedia articles 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 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.BetacommandBot 22:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parent Company listing

Is it right to list adeem and dar as parent companies? In every list of investors I've seen, those two companies are listed after David Richards and John Sinders. It isn't clear that either of those companies has enough control of AM to be considered a parent.Vantelimus (talk) 19:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
