Your dreaded humongous blank field ...

Thanks for your message. I'm afraid I know very little about Macs and their foibles. I have looked at the source code of the Maruti Suzuki article, and I couldn't find anything unusual about it. I also used two different PCs to display the article itself, using the Internet Explorer browser, and it displayed okay. The problem you're experiencing may be with your browser rather than with your Mac. You might therefore want to try downloading either a different browser, or the latest version of your current browser, to see whether that fixes the problem. Meanwhile, I note your interest in Japanese cars. I'm not all that interested in them myself (although my first two cars were Hondas). However, I remember photographing a few on a visit to Japan about 10 years ago, and I must get round to uploading the pictures to commons some time. I've also got some pictures of Marutis and other Indian cars taken in India - I've already uploaded one of them, but it's a Mumbai taxi, which is basically a Fiat design.

I figured as much, thanks for looking into it! And yes, please upload all of them photos! I'll be happy to edit them for you if you're not interested in photoshop fiddling, just upload them the way they are. Thanks, cheers,  Mr.choppers | ✎  16:50, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
I am also an Apple user and have noticed the same thing. I am using Chrome as browser. Seems strange to have lingered on this long, and it applies to all articles with infoboxes I view (so my guess is there must be an issue with the infobox code).

I feel like the field is bigger the more references there are, but I might be crazy.  Mr.choppers | ✎  11:53, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Photos

Okay, here's a photo of an intersection in Old Delhi with a Maruti featuring prominently. I think you could probably copy the photo, crop the copy, and use the cropped copy to illustrate a Maruti article. I'll leave it up to you to identify the Maruti. I believe it's a Maruti 1000, but I'm not sure whether it's also an Esteem. Either way, the infobox doesn't have an image of it, so I also suspect that this is the first commons image. It turns out that I didn't have as many suitable Japanese photos as I previously thought, but I'll soon be uploading one of a Nissan President 250 with rectangular headlights (also not yet in commons), which I suspect will need a bit of sharpening.

Super! The Maruti is the 2004-2007 facelift model, it received the Chang'an Suzuki Lingyang's headlights, taillights, and bumpers. I'll go ahead and extract it. Mmmmm.... President.  Mr.choppers | ✎  11:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
It also has the update model's spoiler. Anyway, the picture I originally thought was of a Nissan President is actually a Toyota Century. Still, big, luxurious and rare, though. The image is not a particularly good one, but you may be able to improve it somewhat. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:50, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hallo Bahnfrend, and thanks. Please keep sharing. Sadly the (awesome) VG40 has aftermarket wheels on it so it won't be very useful for our purposes here. Good spotting, though!  Mr.choppers | ✎  05:53, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Mazda Capella may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Another sock puppet

I suspect User talk:2602:306:cdb2:4130:c8a8:6fa1:de3b:ce5c is another sock puppet of User:RonaldClownsterMcDonaldHater.  Stepho  talk  00:13, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Delta possibly typo.

'DV28 for the B-engined Delta 2000 diesel.' Should that be DV28 or BV28 at Toyota Dyna ?  Stepho  talk  22:15, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

DV28 - in several places in the book. I'm not sure how Daihatsu's chassis coding system worked in the seventies, can't seem to identify any consistent logic.  Mr.choppers | ✎  22:20, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Okay, no problem.  Stepho  talk  22:33, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Always good to know someone is paying attention.  Mr.choppers | ✎  06:08, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
