  • ALT 1 ... that Carl Breer, a core engineer who formed Chrysler and designed the streamlined Airflow (pictured) said "Just think how dumb we have been. All those cars have been running in the wrong direction."? 7&6=thirteen () 16:09, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Could I have the picture included with the DYK. Thanks!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Review Article is new enough and long enough. ALT1 is good to go, supported by numerous sources, including this one. The picture is from commons and is featured in the article. I recommend it be used along with the DYK. I fixed the formatting and did some wikilinking and copy editing. ALT I is 197 characters. Well sourced. As to off line sources, I WP:AGF. They are well corroborated by the on line sources. No plagiarism or close paraphrasing issues. Desktop plagiarism checker is clean. Good to go then. Nicely done.

It is nice of you to add me as a coeditor. My edits came only after the initial review. I will accept only if it doesn't create a conflict. If it does, then I decline. I leave that to the editor who decides on the DYK promotion. Thank you. 7&6=thirteen () 22:12, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
