De Soto or DeSoto?

Sources claim it is originally "De Soto" (Gunnel, (2004), Standard guide to 1950s American Cars page 72), but [1] from the source shows it in camelcase as "DeSoto", which is consistent with our other uses here, so that is the version I will use in the article.

Peer review

Should we subject this article to peer review?Lbertolotti (talk) 15:07, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean. It's at GA status, are there any flaws or problems that you think put this into question? I don't think it is anywhere near ready for FA obviously. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 15:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dennis Brown Passing a peer review helps with improving the article.Lbertolotti (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I went and read that, not something I've even visited before. I wouldn't have a problem with that. I'm working on a very different yet similar article on the 1960s that could benefit from what I see and learn from the experience. It's in userspace, but it is coming slow. Not sure every decade needs an article, but some decades can justify it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:04, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
