Citation style

Hi. Your reference style in the James Dean article is invalid. Your addition of numbers inside square brackets, for example: "[84]", is not a valid citation style for Wikipedia. You must add the actual title, ISBN number, page number etc. to all citations for them to be valid. Please see WP:CITE for more information. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 18:36, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I converted almost all of the citations to proper format, except this one: [87] Hennrichs, Steve, et al, Porsche Speedster TYP540: Quintessential Sports Car, Lee Raskin, co-author, pp 186-191, (Big Lake Media, Inc., Incline Village, NV) ISBN 0-9746468-0-6 Where does this go in the text? Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 19:50, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FYI This is how you can convert citations to proper format. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 20:00, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Lee for the nice comments on your edit summary. Good job on the citations! You actually did it quite well. A final question; what reference is supposed to be " [65}" that you left behind? Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 22:37, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced [65} with actual citation #65. Please let me know if that is what you intended. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 22:46, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent job on this edit. You even use better citation templates than I showed you. I don't think you need my advice any longer. :) Best regards. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 23:02, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to James Dean, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.

Muscle Car Sounds

Hi Lee. I was just wondering why you named the external link to James Dean's mangled Porsche this way in your edit. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 02:44, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning and than you Dr. K. I got confused. Muscle Car Sounds shouldn't have been listed. Instead, it should have been -- The curse of the "Little Bastard."

I was actually trying to activate the link to muscle car sounds, number 76 - when I clicked on #76 -- it did not link to the web site: www.musclecarclub.com/musclecars/general/musclecars-songs.shtml

Instead, I got this response: File Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.

Can you help me sort this out?

Also. How do I insert a jpg. image for the James Dean link. I have a public domain photo of James Dean at the Mobile station that ties into the story nicely. There are no photos of the "Little Bastard in the article and it should be represented, I believe. Thanks. Lee Raskin, PorshaBoy on Wiki.

Hi Lee. Thank you for the clarification. I did it primarily to dispel any notions of malfeasance on your part after I saw a few of the warnings on your talk. I am glad we cleared this matter. Anyway I am not sure how to access the car sounds. From a cursory look I couldn't find sound # 76 but I didn't try for a long time. As far as uploading a free image you can go to wikimedia commons at this link but you must first have an account there like the one you have in Wikipedia. After you register at Commons go back to the link I gave you and the upload wizard will guide you through the steps of uploading your picture. After you upload it there give me a buzz and I will tell you the rest of the steps. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 20:01, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Boxster picture

Hi Lee. Good job on adding the picture to the article through Commons. However I checked the copyright and it is listed by permission of Chad White. Please see this link on Commons. Click on the link and follow the final step. In short, you must email to "permissions-commons@wikimedia.org" the correspondence/email which proves that Chad gave you permission under the "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license" which currently is on the picture. It is the final step needed to verify that indeed the copyright holder has granted actual permission for the use of the picture. Without this final step the picture will likely be deleted. Read the rest of the info through the link I provided and let me know if you have any questions. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 03:07, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have contacted Chad White (who gave me permission to use in James Dean At Speed book and for other documentary circumstances) and he will provide written documentation for use in Wiki...or perhaps he will list the image himself to eliminate any conjecture about having permission or not. Thanks for your advice. Lee Raskin / PorshaBoy on Wiki

It was a pleasure Lee. Thank you for your great effort. Take care. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 03:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
