Talk:Ford Lightning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not sure I understand why this is being forced to redirect to Ford F-Series, which is a general listing of base information about the series. This is a much more detailed and informative page, especially when compared to the small two paragraphs tacked onto the end of Ford F-Series. Other notable speciality vehicles of the same caliber have their own specific pages, such as BMW M3 and GMC Syclone. (Note: last change was made by me, but under 69.250.247.221)

Thanks, Rurik

[edit] Link Removal

The link:

was removed because the information contained at that site offers no other information than what is already in the article. Links should contain useful and additional information that an article does not already have. If others disagree please discuss. FrankWilliams 17:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think the link should be removed. True the wikipedia page does provide some specifications but it does not entail all of the specs provided here by Ford. rfriends

I think we should wait and see what other comments arise. If no one objects too stenuously we can always add the link back. FrankWilliams 18:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I object to the link being added. The material on the site is not note worthy. While I do recognize that the "fordlightningspecs.html" page was recently created (did not exist when I removed the link), this is public information that can found at a multitude of sites. The domain name was created on 29 AUG, one day before being posted here, giving the impression that the poster is the domain owner seeking publicity. While I wish the site the best of luck, it simply provides nothing new or substantial on this topic to be considered postworthy. Rurik 03:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lt-BrochureB.jpg

Image:Lt-BrochureB.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
