| − | I've been mulling over how to go about consolidating some articles that have similar titles and contents like on Q-jet carbs and RPO codes to name two.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | I (and others) have gone to linking the various articles to each other but this is a temporary solution at best, IMO. It will take some time to do this right, but in the end it should result in much easier navigation to the subjects. | + | ==Barnstars== |
| − | :How about more categories and subcategories? "Quadrajet carburetors" would make a good category. That would at least hold us over until a full and thorough merge of interrelated topics could be completed--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 12:18, 8 February 2012 (MST)
| + | [[Image:Barnstar.png|left]] I, [[User:Jon|Jon]], award this [[barnstar]] to Cobalt327, for extraordinary effort invested in improving numerous articles, careful attention to detail, and dedication to improving the entire wiki.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 13:31, 20 March 2012 (MDT) |

| − | I've been talking to 'lt1silverhawk' (who I've invited to add his thought here) about doing something along those lines (you may recall he started a page "How to Rebuild a Rochester Quadrajet 4MV Carburetor"). We had discussed, and subsequently discounted, the idea of combining '''all''' the Q-jet info into some huge single "Master Article", the thinking being it would be too unwieldy and cumbersome for someone looking to ID their carb or do a simple rebuild, etc. I have almost 1 GB of "raw" Word docs on Q-jet carbs (72 folders and 906 files) and another 5.5 MB in jpg images that I'd like to eventually have available here after it's been edited.

| − | Now when you say to make "Quadrajet carburetors" a category, would that be like "Engine" or "Transmission"? Let me know if I've misunderstood this.
| |
| − | :::Yes, that's correct, make it a category like "Engine" or "Transmission". Agreed on avoiding a huge unwieldy page. One strategy is to do a "Master Article" that links out to the sub-articles. For example, check out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy the Wikipedia article on "Energy"]. Many of the article sections have headers like: "Main article: Conservation of Energy", etc., that lead the reader to other full articles.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 14:33, 8 February 2012 (MST)

| − | Jon, pls. see [http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Talk:Transmission_holding_fixtures Discussion] when you get a minute. I do not care about "being right", I'd rather keep this from turning unnecessarily adversarial. For the better good of the Crankshaft Coalition Wiki project I will defer to whatever you decide. Not looking for drama- just accuracy.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 18:59, 9 February 2012 (MST)
