[edit] List of diesel automobiles

What is your intent for this list? Diesel cars in what year? In what country? Rmhermen 18:42, May 14, 2005 (UTC)


To begin with, it's simply a list of automobiles that were made with diesel engines. I don't have good data yet for years on most of the vehicles but I'd like it to be added as I (or others) discover it. Same goes for countries.

Ultimately I'd like it to be a comprehensive resource for people (such as myself) that are interested in (for example) biodiesel-capable vehicles but have had trouble tracking down good information on what exists, new or used, that can take it (or petrodiesel) as fuel.

[edit] Hey Burner

So are you going to the Man this year? Who do you camp with? Kit 22:52:43, 2005-08-04 (UTC)

No, alas I'll be going to the Orfun Burn locally -- yes I am from Austin. Brady sounds familiar but I am terrible with names and, as you know, we have so many of them. You should come for Flipside sometime. :) Kit 22:34:38, 2005-08-05 (UTC)
Next year will be an interesting year to attend Flipside so you might keep it in mind. We'll be moving to a new land several times the size of our current property, but not growing very much from our ~1500 person population. I expect it to be an even more interesting experience than usual. We might even have cabins, talk about the Black Rock Hilton! Kit 08:32:24, 2005-08-06 (UTC)

[edit] Burner Input Requested

I would like the input of other Wikipedian Burners on the topic of Links in article Burning Man. Please come to the Links section of Talk:Burning Man and provide your input, if you have time. Thanks! Kit 21:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping by. This is my first content dispute so I wanted to get some input from outside. Kit 01:30, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jimbo Wales to Attend San Diego Meetup on October 18 2005

Hello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Details on the Meetup

I went to the Town and Country area last night to check out restaurants. I've eaten at the restaurants in Town and Country and they weren't that great, ao I wanted to find us somewhere nearby. There is a nice but expensive steak house down the street, but I don't know what everyone's budget is. I picked this place, I hope it is OK with everyone:

  • 7:00pm Tuesday October 18th
  • 24-Hour Valley Kitchen Family Restaurant
  • 875 Hotel Circle South, Mission Valley, 619-819-1017 or 619-298-8282.
  • It is right across Highway 8 from the Town and Country Resort and Convention Center
  • It is very casual and comes highly recommended by the hotel desk. Entrees are $8-$15. They have a wide menu: They have breakfast all-days, salads, burgers, steaks, echilladas, pies, that sort of place.

See you there! Johntex\talk 01:34, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More Burner Help Requested

I am trying to provide better sources for articles in Category:Burning Man, so I have started a collection of academic, journalistic, and other sources on the event and related subculture. If you know of any or run across them in your web surfing in the future, please add them to User:Todfox/Burning Man/Sources. Thanks! Kit 21:52, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] China Brain

Hello. I see you created an article called China Brain today. Wikipedia already has an article called China brain and the two look fairly similar to me - but it's not my field. If they are the same, could you merge your text into the older article? Then the newer article can either be deleted or redirected to the old article. Mr Stephen 23:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Burning Man Regional Events Infobox

I've started putting together an Infobox that can go on the Burning Man type events pages. When you have a few moments and can look at the example I've put together, I'd appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks, and Burn On! SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Helixwind_logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Helixwind_logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Coredesat 02:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
