This article became a source of misinformation regarding the designer of the E71 X6, when this entry was made on 9 September 2017 with no sources provided and went unnoticed/unchallenged for over 2 1/2 years .
If changes like that keep happening, I would like to know if anyone favors a request for page protection. It is very unsettling how I never noticed myself this nor did anyone else, to the point an idiot attempted to counteract (elsewhere) my recollection of X6 coming into reality over 15 years ago, with the dumb implication some "Aman Chikkara" designed the E71. Having never heard that name in my life and actually have dined with the designer of both E70 X5 and E71 X6, I started thinking I was losing my sanity, so I did a quick search and turned out it was some vandalism. @

@Carmaker1: The link wasn't working because of a bad character. Changed it. And yes, this is why I have been begging for years to require IPs to register. As it is, there is no recourse for vandalism, and no way of communicating with IPs who might make mostly good edits.  Mr.choppers | ✎  17:52, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input, as I favor the idea greatly. I just wonder why that they haven't given it serious consideration at all, unless TPTB feel that IP editing gives everyone and their mother a chance. The website has expanded upon its earliest days and needs to abandon this relic of unregistered editing. I think that it doesn't deprive anyone of editing, provided they can still register, so why hold onto that? Even though working from home, I'm still very busy, but I want to know for guidance if you've tried anything in your capacity to propose a shift from unregistered IPs to registered users only encyc.-wide or perhaps, just automotive project? Thanks for your participation.

You could try for pending changes protection, although the intensity of vandalism on this page might not be high enough. Toasted Meter (talk) 18:17, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately that might be true, as I even once struggled with a roster of larger scale disruptive edits to the Nissan Armada page a few years ago. It took two attempts to get it approved, because one admin just didn't care and pretty much implied automotive articles weren't that important to lift their finger and shift their mouse. When it became unbearable, someone else thankfully stepped in and ordered page protection. Thank you for your response and participation, as you gave a realistic outlook.

There have been discussions (I can't find them now) but there are a large number of absolutists who profess a belief that if we don't allow ip editing then WP will seize to be. I personally believe this may have been true when the encyclopedia was young, but WP is nowadays much more of a maintenance project. I catch ip vandalism that has been left up for ten years (it's often hard to catch) and that has then permeated mainstream articles and of course the countless mirror pages. I did find a template to be posted on ip talk pages, but it only really means anything if the IP is a Good Person: {{subst:Register}} . Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:29, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I had forgotten to respond to this, but yes it would be ideal honestly for folks to register and in good faith, be given due credit for contributing.--Carmaker1 (talk) 02:20, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
