Dear Sir/Madam, On behalf of One-Golf magazine in Taiwan, we are pleased to contact with you and reveal our requirement for this image. As a publisher in the leadership of Golf report in Taiwan, Car-News has never stopped looking for every quality work from the spheres that all the males are fascinated with. To fill the acquisitiveness of our readers, the articles for production cars or limited edition supercars have been also well written in our monthly issue from its beginning. This is not just our obligation to bring good reports to them but a pleasure to offer the profits for the car makers through our magazines. We believe, anyhow, that this image from you is supposed to be considerably appreciated.

Thank you for your time and may the joy around you always

Ok, but I am not sure which image you are referring to because I have uploaded about 1,800 photographs, so far. CZmarlin (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Otto schimik bio sources?

Dear CZmarlin,

I'm trying to write an article on Otto for a national Catholic magazine in the U.S., and can find nothing in print publishing, English or Polish, that confirms this Otto Schimek Wiki bio. Can you help?

Thanks, Mike McCarthy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccpax (talk • contribs) 18:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mike,

I will update the Otto Schimek article to current URLs and access dates because I just checked and two of the citations are no longer live. That is a typical problem of change over the years in the Internet and is described here: link rot.

Nevertheless, a Google search on Otto Schimek provides numerous websites with some information. However, you should select "books" under the "more" Google search options to see several reputable published sources. Moreover, you should also use Google Scholar in your research. For example, please click here. I hope that helps!

CZmarlin (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking time to answer my inquiry. I've found one biography. [ http://www.worldcat.org/title/spor-o-grenadiera-schimka/oclc/15697580 ] Having no Polish skill, I'm limited. Could this be a credible source? Found it in the backpages of google "scholar." Its the only thing I've seen thus far that may offer biographical details of his life and death. Every thing else just comments on his place in the political spectrum. Let me know.

You appear as one of the original contributors to the Wiki article on Otto that gives the most detailed English explanation of Otto's life and death that I've been able to find in 3 weeks of research and correspondence. Where did these fairly unified details come from? Otto's sister seems to be the most positive proponent of his story. Did she write anything to a Polish publisher? Did any member of the formal Polish Catholic church write of his life? Was he ever nominated for sainthood? Thanks again for any help you can offer.

My contributions to this article were to provide appropriate referenced material, as is the goal throughout the WP effort. However, this is not my area of expertise! The contributions and references I added came from my Internet searches. However, there is controversy regarding the life and actions of this individual. The Polish WP has a different view of Schimek, as well as a link to this recent Wprost magazine report. Nevertheless, there are additional Polish web sites that repeat the myth about him, such as this one. Wishing you all the best in your research. Please be sure to add material this article! CZmarlin (talk) 23:09, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CZmarlin, Thank you for the response and the link to the parish webpage on Otto Schimek. This is very helpful. And mindful of the controversy, I'll continue to research.

Production car

Hi - saw your recent edits to the article - thanks. I just want to understand what is meant by two of the sentances you added as they seem to be missing context. The sentances were: The fastest production American sedan for 1957 was the fabulous Rambler Rebel... a limited-production car—only 1,500 were produced..." According to tests by Motor Trend, "only a fuel-injected Chevrolet Corvette sports car was faster overall compared to the six-passenger Rambler for that year.

Are you wanting to illustrate use of the phrase limited production car? NealeFamily (talk) 03:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is meant to illustrate the definition of what number makes it a "production car". In this case, the author describes "only 1,500 units" as being "limited production" but all of these sedans were marketed to the general public! I was hoping to expand on the section of how many does it take to qualify as a production car. I don't think there is any definite number for reaching "limited production" status in credible sources. In any case, the existing examples described cars built in very few numbers or were clearly "modified" and unusual, purpose-built sports or racing vehicles. I think this example adds to the discussion of production cars in the form of more ordinary automobiles, as was the case with the use of the Model T example. CZmarlin (talk) 03:29, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I thought that might be what you were wanting to do. The whole "what is a production car" is a minefield, with about as many differing definitions are there are car makes. I, along with several others, have been trying to nail down the definition for some time. There was a fairly lengthy debate on Talk:List of fastest production cars/Archive 3#Page protected/20 car limit - new discussion which failed to reach any consensus, but if you are interested it does provide some idea of the difficulties encountered.

revert

Do you have a reason for that revert? Plantsurfer (talk) 23:14, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I removed your bandsaw example is that they do not all use solid rubber or other polymer tires. Sorry that I did not put this explanation in the edit summary. - CZmarlin (talk) 23:35, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My M-170

I want to thank you for the early pictures of my M-170. We were at car show at the Frederick, Maryland MVA show. I have slowly improved it's restoration since then. If you want I can send you updated pictures of it. Kevin Lancaster

Kevin! Great to know about your restoration of your vehicle! I enjoy original old vehicles and like to spread the word about them, as well as make images of them available for all to enjoy. I would encourage you to post pictures in the Commons, because you are the author of them! Of course, it would be great to see your Jeep M-170 at a show in its new condition! If you are not already a member, I would suggest the Sugarloaf Mountain AACA ~ CZmarlin (talk) 02:58, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1957 Rambler Station Wagon

Two of your photos of the restored 1957 Rambler Station Wagon were used in the July, 2014 edition of the Friends of DuPont Forest newsletter that featured an article about a 1957 Rambler Cross Country Station Wagon with 74,445 miles on the odometer that was abandoned and is now rusting alongside Poplar Hill Loop Trail in DuPont State Forest in western North Carolina.

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for eight years of contributions ranging from images to article work – here for the sheer joy of contributing. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Dennis Brown submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I'm nominating CZmarlin on June 13th, his 8th WikiBirthday. In this time, he has produced over 20,000 edits and a dozen DYKs. Fully 86% of his edits are to articles, showing that he is here solely to build an encyclopedia. I first noticed him when I used one of his images in the lede of an article I was working on last year, 1950s American automobile culture. I found that he has uploaded a tremendous amount of his own images, mainly automobile and related images, to Commons and Wikipedia over the years. His photography and other works adds value to Wikipedia every day, and it easy to see he has watchlisted a number of articles, gnoming, protecting, cleaning and preserving the work of others, plus adding his own prose. While he avoids the limelight, his work is worthy of notice. Editors like CZmarlin are the lifeblood of Wikipedia, people that contribute for years on end, purely for the joy of it. Thanks CZ, Wikipedia really is a better place because of you.
