Multiple infoboxes which repeat the same information are pointless, and create too much whitespace. Equally, one sentence sections for individual generations is deprecated by the MoS. If there's not that much to say, combine it into a single section, as it was before.

I'm also removing the infobox inamge, as it just makes the whitespace greater. That was the whole point of the gallery. --DeLarge 18:20, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit, August 15, 2007

I've again removed the multiple sections, which had only a sentence or two between them. It's deprecated by the Guide to layout, which I consider a better guide to writing articles than the arbitrary habits of the Automobile WikiProject, and has the fortunate effect of removing the massive whitespaces. I've removed a lot of content from the infobox where it was duplicated in the text. This has the effect of shrinking the infobox sufficiently that there is now no overlap between it and the gallery, regardless of the screen width.

As for "this article needs expanding not reversion", I agree. Unfortunately, I can only see one line of new information in the previous edit (that the vehicle was a five door van, which is only correct terminology in a very few places). In other words, it wasn't an expansion, it was a mere layout change. I've added a lot of extra content with this edit, and cited it too, as well as adding as much production info as MMC makes available. Nevertheless, despite the expansion, it's still not nearly big enough to deserve splitting up into multiple sections. --DeLarge 20:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I did not say that I had expanded the article, that the article needed expanding. Your actions seem to indicate that you consider yourself the authority on Mitsubishi-related articles. I resent you throwing away work I have done on this page and disagree with your views entirely. I don't consider whitespace to be an issue. - Diceman 15:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
