Default R-Spec photo needed for wiki.

I've created a page about the R-spec on wikipedia, and i need a image to use that doesn't violate any copywrite laws...

..so...

Anyone got a pic that they took that i can have permission to use?

You can use one of mine from the thread "The Panther has Pounced". Only thing would be to blank out the rego no.

No problem, you're welcome. There's a few you could use if you think they're OK.

Don't hold your breath...a user on there seems to think that if should be merged under "Falcon GT"...even though i've added info on the R-spec range including the BF models...

Anyone who wants to contribute is free to do so!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fo...#FPV_GT_R-spec

You can support the page there, adding your opion to why it should stand alone...


Also...

Wiki don't have a seperate page on the HO's....should fix that...

Funny how someone wants the R-Spec article merged, but they can still have a separate article for the XY GT alone.

Well if you want to merge the Gt-R spec, maybe you should think about merging the w427 as well, cos even less of them were made (talk) 21:06, 17 January 2013 (UTC) babyf6

LOL who has been posting.

There is one car that is quicker than the FPV GT R-Spec and that is HULK_BA's (RAPID_BA) Super Charged XR8. This XR8 does 6 seconds down the quarter mile and is feared by most drag cars. This car has 3000RWK.

How is that even vaguely important to this discussion? Personally modified cars fall a very very long way short of meeting Wikipedia's notability guideline for inclusion. --Falcadore (talk) 04:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

The same bloke removed my page on the EL GT aswell...hopefully ill get started on a EB GT and a page on the FTE range. Perhaps we could start a community AFF effort to help improve the coverage of Australian ford models on wiki?

I've been argueing with that twit (the person who is against Nikked's article) about that but he/she reckons that they are distinguished models so they don't have too be. (every HSV) he/she clearly has no idea what hes on about

HSV have individual articles for:

Clubsport
GTS
Maloo
Grange
Senator
W427

Most of these models are basically the same car. The W427 article now mainly focuses on Holden's purpose-built Monaro to win a Bathurst production car race, so I think that article should be changed to "HSV 427"

that's what I always thought but this personal claims that they have seperate identities. I wish I understood the proposed merger instructions on wikipeida. I cant work it out! I'm a dumb a***!!! lol

I think that is a really good idea. I find that information on the Australian fords is a bit lacking at times on some models (Wikipedia). surely if we all try too contribute some info on our aussie fords. that user might leave the falcon articles in question and future articles alone

The following pages lack there own entries.

Ford XR
Falcon GT
Ford XT
Falcon GT
Ford XA Falcon GT
Ford XB Falcon GT
Ford EB Falcon GT
FPV BA GT
FPV BF GT


I'm might group the EB-EL Gt's under the one banner, but i still welcome any contibution. Even the break up of colours will be handy.
