Hello, I'm Knitsey. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Avion (car), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Knitsey (talk) 19:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, this is Craig.
- Alex my professional engineer friend documented the fuel economy And the wired articles attached to the page is also a reference. Alex information is on a CD and I can't access it immediately.
- Do you doubt my achievement?
- yes I'm a beginner at this and could use your help with this.
- There's many articles with a Google search about my 2010 driving from Canada to Mexico on one tank of fuel
- Appreciate any help you can do

- Hi Craig, thanks for responding. Such a claim (which I don't doubt is true), needs verification. So if you can dig out a reference then that would be great? Was there any press about it at the time? Any articles that you find? If you find something but you're not sure about how to add it then either ping me here or leave a message on my talk page and I will see if I can help. Hope this helps!

- I am not good at this so please help me get the facts correct.
- My only goal is to motivate young minds to go in to science , math engineering and do what I did and think out of the box.
- I do use Wikipedia but the only article I wish to add to and publish the facts to is the avion.
- That said any thing you can do for that would be greatly appreciated.

- If you put all the above links at the talk page and request an edit with exactly what you would like to add Talk:Avion (car). I didn't realise there was a talk page message there already. Just have a little patience as we are all volunteers! And don't worry about age, we all start somewhere!
- I haven't looked at the links you've given, but post all of them and the Wikipedia community should be able to help. Knitsey (talk) 20:08, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
