Keeping inaccurate information out of that article is a never-ending job. Sometimes I edit after signing in as svxcess44,, and other times I correct without signing in at all.

For a long time, the moderators there were constantly removing our SVXWN network link in the external links section. They consider personal sites like this as self-promotiom and spam. They are still doing this as of today. See history:

I have performed countless undo's on that article... and have been undone a lot of times as well.

But I'm glad they like seeing the front and back of my Polo as an example of a stock-looking example. The stock engine photo is of Harry Newman's ("newsvx") 97 Brilliant red.

Perhaps I will change it again, but as I told the kid, wikipedia is not considered credible in the academic world. Maybe after I convince everyone here about how it works, I'll start with people outside the network

Agreed, that's why whenever I had to write a paper and used wikipedia, I would look to see if any of the statements had a reference, and if they did then double check the reference and use that. I basically use wikipedia as a "middle man."
