I was aware of Continetal Engines, but Lycoming? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BIGTAZ351W (talk • contribs) 05:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, deja vu

The whole history section is copied from here. Is there a reason it needs to be done twice? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 13:57, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Chevy 230 L6 is not the stovebolt six, and the Chevy 250 is not a V6. Who writes this garbage? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.8.1 (talk) 23:55, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization of Checker-related articles

These articles are a real mess right now. There are currently the following articles about Checker companies and products:

Checker Motors Corporation: This article. Covers the manufacturer and its vehicles, but long and poorly organized.
Checker Taxi: A mix of content about the Checker Taxi family of vehicles and the history of the Checker Taxi service in Chicago
Checker Model A: A minimal stub about this one pre-WWII Taxi model
Checker Aerobus: Start-class article about these variant vehicles based on the Taxi.
Checker Superba: Uncited stub about the consumer car that preceded the Marathon
Checker Marathon: The consumer version of the Taxi

I think the articles could be reorganized something like this:

Checker Motors Corporation should be strictly about the manufacturing company
Checker Taxi (Chicago) about the namesake taxi service (which both preceded and outlived the Checker Motors Corporation)
List of Checker Taxi companies (or something in this vein) to cover the many taxi lines in other cities also called Checker
List of Checker Motors Corporation vehicles mostly to collect the stubs of information about the pre-war models
Checker A series (as a hopefully reasonable compromise title) about the most notable Checker vehicles, the A2 through A11
Checker Marathon about the civilian cars, probably including a section for the Superba which doesn't need its own article at this point
