Hi Choppingmall,
I am new to Wikipedia and have just posted my first article. I am trying to meet all the guidelines and requirements that Wikipedia has. I see that you are quite knowledgeable on using Wikipedia and contributed a lot to many different articles on. I would appreciate if you could take a look at my article and provide me with any tips or changes that I need in my article - 10.5" Corporate 14 Bolt Differential.
Thanks
Well, thanks for the compliment. In my opinion, your choice of subject matter is so brand specific that it really doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. The mechanism is pretty much a generic differential, so you are reduced to simply presenting a laundry list of its peculiarities (weight, size, number of bolts, etc.), none of which is of any consequence to anyone who doesn't either own it or need to fix it. If there was some novel distinguishing feature or method of operation, then an article would be appropriate which covers that. As an example, limited slip differential or torsen differential. The paragraph on full floating vs semi floating is informative, but probably just belongs in the main differential_(mechanics) page as a general concept not linked to a brand.
