Greetings again[edit]

Greetings Matt - thanks for the note on my talk page. I've had a look around at what you've been doing and reckon you can sort it out in half a dozen easy steps. You've already done the hard part which is actually writing the material. I checked a couple of the references you included but they were duds, so you might like to sort them out or just leave them out and look for others. The first one looked pretty good. OK, so listen up:

Step 1: Copy the content you want to use for the article.
Step 2: Click on this redlink Hudson utility coupe (if you want to change the title click on the edit to the right of this and change the words)
Step 3: You should now be at a page that has the article page and a big blank space.
Step 4: Paste the content you had previously copied.
Step 5: Click"save page" and Bob's yer uncle/voila!/or whatever they say in your neck of the woods.
Step 6: Now that you've got it up and running is when you'll suddenly discover all those typos, gremlins and other hideous humdingers glaring out at you from the page, but no sweat, just edit 'em out. Good luck!

Let me know how it goes and tell me the article title so I can pop over & have a butcher's. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 22:42, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson Utility Coupe refs/dead links...[edit]

You were the creator of this interesting article and a couple of your references end in dead links. It would improve the article greatly if you could fix the links, they're for the two articles by B. Vance "Hudson produced innovative light trucks" and "A vehicle for gentlemen farmers" and are cited as References 4, 5 & 6. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 13:52, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note... If the two B. Vance articles (with "LexisNexis" afterwards) cannot be cleanly referenced from a firm source they will have to be deleted from the article. I think I can find other sources for the asserted facts but would prefer to be able to use the two articles you were able to find. The person I thought might be able to help out with finding the publications the articles appeared in cannot find the information at the moment. I am also going to post about this at the article's discussion page. Also, thought you'd like to know Hudson Utility Coupe has been nominated to appear in the "Do You Know" column on the WIkipedia Main page, so I'd like to clean up any possible reference problems as soon as possible. Oh, and if you haven't seen the Main page, just click on Main page over there on the left (<<--).Shearonink (talk) 23:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back, thanks for your note re: Hudson Utility Coupe at my Talk. The reason I asked about the 2 articles --> I was hoping to bolster the notability of the subject with them (the more refs the better) but that's ok...I was able to find the facts in other articles and changed the references accordingly. It's such an interesting little car, I wish that there were a picture of a Hudson Utility Coupe in Wikipedia Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, then a pic could be posted within the article.

Re: Hudson Utility Coupe... The image of the emblem had somehow ended up being mis-referenced. The emblem being used in the article is from an abandoned Hudson Terraplane in Nepal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Terraplane1.jpg). The only images that can be used in a Wikipedia article must be from Wikimedia Commons. The link of http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/AmericanMotors/Hudson.html was in reference to the photo of a single Hudson Six-Traveler Utility Coupe on that page and to the appearance of the car with its steelbox extended 'pick-up style' (as mentioned in the 'Uses' section). The actual picture cannot be used unless the rights-holder/photographer releases the rights to the picture and the picture is then uploaded to Commons, that's why the actual photo is not placed within the article itself. To keep from causing any additional confusion I have deleted the link to the Hudson car-photos page. I believe you found an additional reference or two? Additional references are always great, they help to increase the Notability of the article. Oddly enough, I found in the course of doing my research on the car that many of the articles contained the same essential facts and could be used to reference multiple statements about the car.
