You might be picked up on this soon - I haven't the time (including to trawl through all the changes by others) - but I would recommend you read WP:NOTGALLERY regarding Lotus Elan. Thanks.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 12:58, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. No sweat. It's easy enough to fix if I've broken any standards. Presumably somebody will let me know? Grenadille (talk) 13:07, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - it's better for you to self-revert, rather than relying upon someone else. Swamping with this amount of images with various angles of the same car/exhibition is ridiculous. There is another option of applying 'drive-by-tagging' {{too many images}} to the sections, which would flag it to others.

WP requires me to assume good faith, in that recent-editors with limited input thought they were doing right. It might also be useful to read WP:WHATWIKIPEDIAISNOT; you have there what is mainly a WP:SPA, promoting the Elan. It's an encyclopaedia, not a fanzine, fanzone, blog/forum/tech tips. I'm also concerned about Youtube references, such as this as being non-relevant to the article, just promoting the individual (talking to camera is probably an offence - normally the professionals fake it with a trailer), and {{efn|Despite its minimal size the Elan door measured {{convert|48|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} (diagonally). In comparison, the Jaguar E-Type door measured {{convert|36|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} and the MG-B door {{convert|42|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}.}} What's the basis for this comparison? And what justification? Leave that with you for a bit, as I stated, I can't devote any more time but I'll try to come back later.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 14:22, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK - I've culled all the Youtube references except for one that I hope is valid. Also I've culled the Galleries considerably, I hope that what's left is acceptable! (Apologies for getting this wrong.) Grenadille (talk) 15:38, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
