Continental Motors Company

As part of the WP:AETF's efforts to improve coverage of aircraft engine articles, I've moved the Continental Motors article to Teledyne Continental Motors, and created a DAB page at the original location. I then moved the automobile company info from this article to Continental Motors Company, and merged the Continental automobile stub in with it. I will be adding more info on TCM, including "Teledyne CAE", in the next few days. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 02:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History: Unleaded fuels

In 2009, Teledyne Continental motors also started looking into 100LL replacements 94UL and Swiftfuel. Reportedly, they are seeking certification, but it is hard to tell as they don't seem to archive their press releases. --SV Resolution(Talk) 14:24, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Engine Prefixes (A, C, E, O, etc.)

Can a section be created or at least a textual reference to what the various prefixes represented throughout the history? I'm going to assume the eventual "O" refers to "opposed". The T, S, I, and G prefixes have been often explained, but not the others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.137.73 (talk) 19:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Teledyne?

Why is "Teledyne" still part of this article's title? It should be moved to the proper current name of the company. Roger (talk) 16:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to their website they seem to be calling themselves "Continental Motors, Inc" now. We already have a disambiguation page located at Continental Motors which is normally where this would be moved to. I guess it could be moved to Continental Motors, Inc.. Thoughts? - Ahunt (talk) 16:44, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Continental Motors, Inc. fits. In this case including the "Inc." (contrary to the MOS) is justified. Roger (talk) 16:56, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think so too, just to differentiate it from other companies. Let's give it a few days and see if there are any objections to that idea and if not we can go ahead and move it. - Ahunt (talk) 17:03, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay lacking any objections and since most of the article text has already been adjusted I will go ahead and move it. - Ahunt (talk) 18:09, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

An IP editor has now three times added the word "American" to the lead of this article and it has been three times removed. I think it is rather fatuous to refer to a company 100% owned by the government of the People's Republic of China as "American". I realize some Americans can't deal with the reality of the situation but this persistent attempt to change reality is becoming nothing more than wishful thinking, if not plain old vandalism. The current wording, which says: "Continental Motors, Inc. is an aircraft engine manufacturer located in Mobile, Alabama. Originally spun off from Continental Motors Company in 1929 and owned by Teledyne Technologies until December 2010, the company is part of AVIC International, which is owned by the government of the People's Republic of China" makes the most sense to me, but if anyone thinks it should be changed then please do present a case here and gain consensus first. - Ahunt (talk) 23:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with you. As to who is doing it and why, the IPs locate to Germany. Odd. Perhaps we could ask for a range block for a week and see what falls off the tree? - BilCat (talk) 23:57, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is odd, but it could be some American or American promoter who lives in Germany. I guess we could ask for semi-protection. - Ahunt (talk) 12:22, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I aksed User:The Bushranger if could look at the article, and he's semi-ed it. - BilCat (talk) 07:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Super, thanks for doing that! - Ahunt (talk) 12:12, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
