== Welcome to Wikicars! ==
Hi there, '''0-172''', and welcome to '''[[Main Page|Wikicars]]'''! I'm a regular moderator and contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

There are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers to Wikicars learn the ropes:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:About|About Wikicars]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars FAQ|Wikicars FAQs]]'''''

Here are a few templates on Wikicars that I find particularly helpful when I start a new page:
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Make Template|Make Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Template|Model Template]]'''''
:* '''''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|Model Review Template]]'''''

Here are a few features of Wikicars that I find particularly helpful:
:* If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.

:* The "Show preview" button allows you to look at what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.

:* You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikicars, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, ask me on [[User Talk:MQuan|my talk page]].

Again, welcome and thanks for adding to our community!--[[User:MQuan|MQuan]] 17:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

== List of Maunfacturers on [[Main Page]] ==
Hello 0-172! First of all, welcome to Wikicars! =) Secondly, those manufacturers are not being excluded. They can be accessed off the main page by clicking on '''''[[List of Manufacturers|Search by Make]]'''''. Thanks! -[[User:PNiddy|Nidhi]] 16:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

== Your Wikicars Concerns Answered ==

Hello Michael,

Thank you for all you concerns with the Wikicars site. I appreciate your enthusiasm to jump in and fix things and your keen eye for detail, and those are the exact same qualities we look for in our administrators here. Since you are interested in an administrative role on the site, I'll pass your name on to the rest of the moderators.

Being a new wiki, we used some of the content from Wikipedia to get us started, but we'd rather not take all their content verbatim. Rather, we'd like to develop on it and delve three or four levels deeper. In doing so, we did not create info boxes at the time of launch, because it would have been a bit more involved to decide which models get info boxes and which don't. As you are well aware, the automotive industry is such a melting pot of brands and vehicles, that it would have been difficult to classify certain vehicles as just one category. Be that as it may, it is a wiki-based community site, and we are open to all kinds of suggestions and edits.

I, myself, am not all that familiar with the makes that you mentioned were missing form the site. We can build a portal for foreign makes and exotic cars, which I'm guessing a vast majority of these cars are. If you have any other concerns about the site, [[User talk:PNiddy|let me know]].

Thanks, Michael! -[[User:PNiddy|Nidhi]] 21:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

== Vandalism/Inappropriate content ==

I know. =( This continues to be a growing concern on our end, too. We're in the process of implementing a automated wiki-filter that will revert those changes and ban the IP address or member for such offensive behavior.

As for the Talk:Main Page/, that is "creative spamming." Some dedicated spammer is going out of their way to implecate new spam on the site. Thanks for the heads up! =)
