Fair use rationale for Image:Infinity561.jpg

[edit]

Image:Infinity561.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Ba donka donk came first

[edit]

Hence "badonka-donk"

Not hence, back-formed from badonka-donk.

To complement the sloping rear, the suspension of donks are frequently higher in the front end than the rear, resulting in a nose-up stance.

How does the sloping rear complement the nose-up stance? Is the sloping rear the normal slope of the car body, or the slope caused by the nose-up stance? Centrepull (talk) 16:21, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the name of the article

[edit]

The term "hi-riser" may have once been used to describe these cars, but nowadays neither people within the community, nor people outside of it call them that. Typically people outside of the community of these cars will (erroneously) refer to them all as Donks, while people in the community tend to just call them "big wheel" or "big rim" cars, reserving the word donk for 71-76 Caprices and Impalas. I'm not sure what a good new title would be, as "Donk" only refers to a subset of the article, and "big rim car" doesn't seem like a good Wikipedia title. Does anyone have any ideas?
